The MNSSHP 2026 official guidemap is in guests’ hands, and it settles several details that shifted during the run-up. The Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 guidemap confirms show times, trick-or-treat locations, and character meets for the party’s 31st year.
The MNSSHP 2026 guidemap carries the tagline “31 Fang-tastic Years” — a nod to the party’s history dating back to 1995 — and features Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in Halloween costumes against a moonlit Cinderella Castle.
Here’s everything printed on it.

The List Has Changed
Compare this against earlier reporting and several differences stand out:
- Frontierland is now Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, not Tiana’s Bayou Adventure
- Fantasyland Train Station replaces the Walt Disney World Railroad Station in Storybook Circus as the listed location
- Dumbo the Flying Elephant is now presented by Scentsy
- Tomorrowland Speedway is not listed on the guidemap
- Tomorrowland Treat Trail appears as a catch-all with a note to look for other locations
Trust the guidemap. It’s the operational document handed to guests on the night, and it supersedes pre-event listings.
Also note the candy change: M&Ms, Snickers, and Skittles — not Starburst as earlier listed.
Character Greetings
The map lists the following character appearances:
- Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse
- Jack Skellington and Sally

- Mirabel and Bruno
- Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, and Drizella
- Gaston

- Pluto
- Donald Duck and Daisy Duck
- Friends from Winnie the Pooh
- Friends from Alice in Wonderland
Note the Haunted Mansion servants — Miss Carlotta, Madam Renatta, and Broome the Butler — do not appear on this printed list, though they were confirmed in Disney’s earlier character guide. They may be treated as roving or atmospheric entertainment rather than a formal meet.
Food and Drink Highlights
The map spotlights three featured items with photos:

- Fang-tastic Garlic Butter Burger — Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café, hosted by Coca-Cola

Table-service dining including Be Our Guest Restaurant, The Beak and Barrel, The Plaza Restaurant, and the Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Dessert Party can be booked at disneyworld.com or in the My Disney Experience app.
The Beak and Barrel appearing here is notable — it’s the pirate-themed lounge in Adventureland, and its inclusion among party-night bookable dining is worth knowing if you want a seated break.
Event Merchandise
The map highlights the Adult Crew Fleece as a featured merchandise item, available at the Emporium while supplies last. Mobile checkout is available via the My Disney Experience app.
Sponsors
The 2026 party sponsors listed on the map:
- Signature Sponsor: Mars Snacking
- Corporate Alliance Sponsor: Werther’s Original Sugar Free
- Event Sponsor: YumEarth
The Bottom Line
The MNSSHP 2026 guidemap confirms “31 Fang-tastic Years” as this season’s tagline, a 7:35pm Hocus Pocus showing added from October 1, and a trick-or-treat list that differs from earlier reporting — Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Frontierland, Fantasyland Train Station, and no Tomorrowland Speedway.
