August – October 2026 (Dates TBA)
Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World
12 minutes from Parkside Retreat
Official Event Website

Trick-or-treat through Magic Kingdom, catch the beloved Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, meet Disney characters in their Halloween costumes, and watch the spectacular fireworks show — all on select nights from August through October. Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is Walt Disney World's most popular seasonal event for families, and tickets for prime October dates sell out months in advance.

Return to Parkside Retreat after the party for a pool night under the Florida stars. Our 6-bedroom vacation rental is just 12 minutes from Magic Kingdom, offering families a spacious, affordable home base for their Disney Halloween trip. With a full kitchen, game room, and room for up to 14 guests, you'll have everything you need — without the resort hotel price tag.

The Real Cost of a Hotel vs. One Comfortable Home

Hotels look cheaper at first - until you factor in multiple rooms, fees (parking, resort fee, etc), and limited space. Our home offers room to relax, amenities you'll actually use, and a better overall value.
