Unfolding a Magical Birthday at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

October 02, 2025 The Fold Hotels

This year, I unfolded my birthday in the most magical way possible: a girls’ night out just minutes from Walt Disney World®, with The Fold Hotels – Orlando/Lake Buena Vista as our home base.

Our three-bedroom suite gave us plenty of room to spread out, glam up, and slip into Halloween mode. Staying at The Fold made it so easy. One quick drive and we were at Magic Kingdom, ready to scare, snack, and sparkle.

Once inside Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, it was non-stop spooktacular thrills! And since all the rides are open, my first stop was The Haunted Mansion, naturally. Then came the foodie fun:

Madame Leota Séance Candle – push pop style sweet treat shaped like a candle filled with moist, spongy red velvet cake with cookies and cream mousse (yes, please!)

Haunting Jalapeño Ranch Tots – crispy tater tots piled high with black bean chili, cheddar cheese sauce, and jalapeño ranch

Bowl of Bones – crispy pork wings tossed in Cherry Coca-Cola BBQ sauce and topped with jalapenos

Not-So-Poison Apple Doughnuts – apple cider doughnuts rolled in apple cider sugar and drizzled with caramel

After our food coma, we snagged parade-route royalty seats for the Boo-to-You Parade, sang our lungs out with Powerline (hello, childhood throwback), and capped the night with Halloween fireworks viewed from the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

By the end of the night, our pumpkin ears were slipping, our feet were sore, and we were ready to fold it in like queens. That’s when staying just minutes from Disney mattered most. In no time, we were back at The Fold Hotels – Orlando/Lake Buena Vista, trading glass slippers for flip-flops, sinking into the hot tub to unwind, and then floating off to bed in the comfort of our suite.

This birthday wasn’t just about cake and candles. It was about unfolding new memories with my best friend at the most magical place on earth—made even better by staying at the best hotel near Disney World. And the best part? The Fold isn’t just close to Disney. We’re centrally located to all of Orlando’s biggest Halloween haunts—whether you’re braving Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights, screaming through Howl-O-Scream at SeaWorld, or venturing into the frights of A Petrified Forest. No matter which scares you choose, our suites make the perfect retreat to fold into after a night of chills and thrills.
