MNSSHP 2026 Character Meet-and-Greet Locations: Full Guide

The Cinderella stepfamily is back, and so are the Haunted Mansion servants. The full character lineup for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 is confirmed, with appearances spread across Magic Kingdom from Town Square through Fantasyland.

The MNSSHP 2026 character meet-and-greets include several party-exclusive appearances you cannot get on a regular park day.

Here’s the complete guide by area, plus which lines are worth your time.

Quick Summary

• Character meets span Main Street, Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, and Fantasyland
• Jack Skellington and Sally return to Town Square Theater
• Haunted Mansion servants Miss Carlotta, Madam Renatta, and Broome the Butler are party-exclusive
• The Cinderella stepfamily — Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella — is another party exclusive
• The full Hundred Acre Wood crew appears in Halloween costumes
• The Hitchhiking Ghosts make roving appearances across the park

Main Street, U.S.A.

Town Square Theater

• Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in Halloween attire
• Jack Skellington and Sally

Two separate meet-and-greet experiences at Town Square Theater. Mickey and Minnie in their Halloween costumes is a party staple, while Jack and Sally remain one of the most popular — and longest-queuing — meets of the entire season.

If Jack and Sally are a priority, get in line early. This is consistently the longest character line at the party, and it does not get shorter as the night goes on.

Adventureland

Agrabah Marketplace

• Aladdin, Abu, Princess Jasmine, and Genie

A rare group appearance bringing the core Aladdin cast together in one location. Genie in particular is an infrequent meet-and-greet character at Walt Disney World, making this one worth seeking out.

Frontierland

Near the exit of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

• Chip ‘n’ Dale

Throughout Frontierland

• Shaker, Wendell, Romeo McGrowl, and Big Al — the Country Bears

Liberty Square

Haunted Mansion Graveyard

• Miss Carlotta, Madam Renatta, and Broome the Butler

These characters are exclusive to the Halloween party and consistently draw a crowd of Haunted Mansion fans.

Gazebo

• Mirabel and Bruno from Encanto

The Haunted Mansion Servants Are the Highlight

If you only do one character meet at this party, make it this one.

Miss Carlotta, Madam Renatta, and Broome the Butler are in-universe Haunted Mansion staff — costumed performers who stay entirely in character, improvise, and interact rather than posing and moving you along.

They appear nowhere else, on no other night, at no other Disney park. That’s genuine exclusivity, and the performances are consistently the best character work at the party.

Fantasyland

Outside Mad Tea Party

• Alice, Mad Hatter, and Queen of Hearts — the full Alice in Wonderland trio together in one location

Fantasyland

• Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella

The Cinderella stepfamily is another Halloween party exclusive. They are rarely seen at Walt Disney World outside this event and tend to draw long lines from character fans.

Near Under the Sea — Journey of the Little Mermaid

• Ariel and Prince Eric

Near Gaston’s Tavern

• Gaston

Entrance to Storybook Circus

• Pluto

Pete’s Silly Sideshow

• Donald Duck and Daisy Duck in Halloween attire

The Thotful Spot

• Pooh in his bumblebee costume, Piglet as a butterfly, Eeyore as a clown, and Tigger as a pirate

The full Hundred Acre Wood crew together in Halloween costumes is one of the most popular family meet-and-greet spots of the party season.

Keep Your Eyes Open

Disney notes that other Disney characters and fearsome fiends may also appear throughout the party — including the Hitchhiking Ghosts, who make roving appearances across Magic Kingdom on party nights.

Roving characters are worth understanding. They don’t have a fixed location or a queue, which means you either encounter them or you don’t. The Hitchhiking Ghosts are among the best-costumed roving characters Disney runs, and finding them is genuinely a matter of luck and attention.

How to Prioritize

Five hours, thirteen trick-or-treat stops, six entertainment offerings, and roughly a dozen character locations. You cannot do it all.

Do these first if characters are your priority:

1. Haunted Mansion servants — exclusive, exceptional performers, and the queue builds

2. Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella — exclusive and rarely available otherwise

3. Jack Skellington and Sally — longest line, so earliest start

Do these during the parade or fireworks: the 8:15pm parade and 10pm fireworks pull thousands away from character lines. That’s when Aladdin’s group, the Hundred Acre Wood crew, and the Alice trio become genuinely accessible.

Skip if you’re short on time: Mickey and Minnie in Halloween attire, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Gaston, and Pluto are all available in some form on regular park days. The costumes differ, but the character does not.

The Bottom Line

MNSSHP 2026 character meet-and-greets span Magic Kingdom with party exclusives including the Haunted Mansion’s Miss Carlotta, Madam Renatta, and Broome the Butler, plus the Cinderella stepfamily of Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella.

Jack Skellington and Sally draw the longest line of the night. The full Alice trio, the Aladdin group with Genie, and the Hundred Acre Wood crew in costume round out the lineup.

Hit the exclusives first, use the parade and fireworks for everything else, and keep an eye out for the Hitchhiking Ghosts roving the park.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
