Disney Confirms New Entertainment Additions for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Published by Jon Self on August 3, 2026 August 3, 2026

Disney reveals two exciting new entertainment additions coming to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom, including Captain Jack and Stitch.

Spooky season is officially around the corner for theme parks in Florida. According to official updates directly from the Walt Disney World Resort Website, Magic Kingdom’s premier fall event, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, is adding fresh magic to its 38-night run from August 7 through October 31, 2026.

While fan-favorite staples like Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, and Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular are returning, Disney has officially updated its event entertainment catalog to highlight two brand-new interactive offerings: Captain Jack’s Buccaneer Bash and Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup (officially listed on Disney destination schedules as A Masquerade with Stitch).

Here is the official breakdown of what partygoers can expect when stepping into Adventureland and Tomorrowland during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this season.

1. Captain Jack’s Buccaneer Bash (Adventureland)

Guests can sail over to Adventureland for a brand-new swashbuckling atmosphere. As detailed in official Disney Parks event updates, Captain Jack Sparrow has dropped anchor near Tortuga Tavern to lead a lively series of pirate antics, recruiting willing guests into his crew.

• What to Expect: Rather than a standard queue-based character greeting, this live performance-style offering features live sea shanties, daring jugglers, sailor superstitions, and interactive pirate training.
• Location: Adventureland, right outside Tortuga Tavern.

2. Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup / A Masquerade with Stitch (Tomorrowland)

Over on the Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland, Experiment 626 is throwing the ultimate high-energy party. Officially billed by Disney as an ever-changing masquerade, Stitch is joined by Lilo and Angel for an unpredictable night of dance and games.

• What to Expect: Stitch gets his paws on Lilo’s costume trunk! Every time he tries on a new Halloween accessory or costume piece, it triggers a full theme swap for the dance floor—complete with dynamic lighting changes, candy giveaways, music shifts, and video backdrops.
• Location: Rockettower Plaza Stage, Tomorrowland.
