Trick-or-Treating
The front of this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025 treat bag features Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse posing in front of Cinderella Castle, framed by a glowing full moon in the background. The design matches the party’s official event map artwork, making it a perfect Halloween keepsake for guests.
Every Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025 treat bag includes the only complimentary full-size candy of the night. Guests this year are receiving Caramel M&M’s, making it one of the sweetest party exclusives at Disney’s Halloween celebration.
- Candy trails are located throughout all six lands, marked on the official event map.
- Allergy-friendly treats available at designated stations.
Pro Tip:
Trick-or-treat later in the evening—lines are shorter, and cast members are more generous as the night winds down.
Jack Skellington & Sally’s New Look in 2025
One of the biggest updates this year is Jack Skellington’s redesigned appearance.
- Jack now features a sleeker, more film-accurate face and mask, while Sally has a refreshed costume and makeup update.
- They meet guests together at Town Square Theater on Main Street, U.S.A., one of the most popular meet & greets of the night.
- Jack also continues his role as the host of the fireworks show, where his new look makes a big impression.
Pro Tip:
Lines for Jack & Sally are among the longest of the event. Get in line early (even before the party officially starts at 7:00 PM) if meeting them is a top priority.
Pro Tips for First-Time Guests
- Enter at 4:00 PM to maximize park time before the party begins.
- Save trick-or-treating until later in the evening for shorter waits (and fuller candy bags).
- Mobile order dinner by 6:30 PM to avoid long food lines once the party starts.
- Don’t miss the castle projections on Main Street at closing—the perfect Halloween photo op.
- Bring a portable charger—between photos, using the event map on your phone, and mobile ordering, batteries drain fast.

SUSANNE HAYS
My love for Disney began when I was a young girl, and my parents took me to Disney with my brothers for a boy scout trip. During High School, I attended Benjamin Russell in Alexander City, AL, where I was a majorette in the band. We were given the opportunity to perform at Magic Kingdom during one of their parades, which was a dream come true and such an honor to have been chosen. Walt Disney’s vision was to dream, believe, dare, and do. I think this is still true today!
I began my travel experience at another home-based travel agency, where I learned about the travel business. During this time, my love for Disney and the magical experience Disney offered became the focus of my travel business.
The many years of experience in sales and the importance of customer service, loyalty, and dedication for every client to have a magical experience is when Fairytale Journeys, LLC was created. For the past 20 years, my family and I have visited Walt Disney World, Disney Cruise Line, and Aulani. I enjoy helping others plan their magical vacations to WDW. I give each client the personal service that they should have. I ensure everything is taken care of for their magical vacation from the beginning of the reservations to the end. That’s why it’s so important to book with a travel agent so that you can receive a personal touch on your vacation.
I am here to help my clients with dining reservations, itineraries, travel arrangements, and most of all, dedication to making sure that each of my clients receives the best price for their magical vacation!
I have an undergraduate degree in Fashion Merchandising and a Masters’s Degree in Elementary Education. I am married to Steve Hays from Huntsville, AL, and we have two boys, Wilson and Garren Hays.
