Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade
If you’ve never felt a chill from the sound of shovels scraping the pavement, just wait until you experience Mickey’s Boo-to-You Parade — a fan-favorite highlight of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
This spirited spectacle features Mickey, Minnie, and friends dressed in their Halloween best as they lead a magical procession of dancing ghosts, Disney Princesses, and iconic villains down Main Street, U.S.A.

It wouldn’t be Halloween at Magic Kingdom without the return of the Sanderson Sisters in the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular — a crowd-favorite stage show that blends comedy, music, and just the right amount of mischief.
Winifred, Mary, and Sarah are back and up to their usual spell-casting antics, but this time, they’ll need help from a few frightful friends. Joining them on stage are some of Disney’s most notorious villains, including Hades, Jafar, Cruella De Vil, Dr. Facilier, and The Evil Queen.
Packed with music, special effects, and interactive moments, guests are invited to clap, sing, and help stir the cauldron in this delightfully dark celebration of Halloween night.
Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular
As the night draws closer to the witching hour, guests are treated to a hauntingly fun finale with the Pumpkin King himself — Jack Skellington. In this dazzling nighttime show, Cinderella Castle is transformed into a haunted mansion as Jack tells a spooky story starring Mickey and Friends.
Led by Zero the ghost dog, the gang ventures inside the eerie castle, encountering cobwebs, skeletons, and the Grim Grinning Ghosts along the way. With jaw-dropping projections, spooky music, and sky-filling fireworks, the experience is equal parts eerie and enchanting.
Expect towering appearances from some truly formidable foes, including Ursula, The Queen of Hearts, and Oogie Boogie. The big question: Will Mickey and his friends make it out of Jack’s haunted house before it’s too late?
