For us, Halloween costumes are a BIG DEAL. In fact, one of our all-time favorite things to do during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is to scout out the BEST guest Halloween costumes; and let’s just be real for a sec, Disney fans can BRING IT when it comes to stylish and creative costumes.

Now we know Halloween looks a little different this year since Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is canceled. But NEVER FEAR! There’ still magic to be had! This year, guests of all ages can wear their costumes during Magic Kingdom’s regular operating hours from September 15th and October 31st! YAY!!!

But that’s not all! We’re now learning that Disney is offering yet another way to allow YOU to show off your spooky best!

This Halloween, the D23: The Official Disney Fan Club is offering its first virtual D23 Halloween Mousequerade! (Yes, that’s a MOUSEquerade. How punny!)
