Disney has confirmed that some of the popular entertainment from previous years will be returning. Mickey and Minnie will be sporting new costumes for the occasion. A new DescenDANCE Party, inspired by the upcoming Disney+ movie “Descendants: The Rise of Red,” is also confirmed. The party is known for its rare character meet-and-greets, and this year, Mirabel and Bruno will be joining the lineup in the Fantasy Garden.
A must-see at the Halloween festivity is Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade! This procession is a spectacle of villains, Haunted Mansion inhabitants such as the gravediggers, hitchhiking phantoms, and the ghostly Bride, and even Minnie Mouse, Clarabelle Cow, and Daisy Duck appearing as the Sanderson Sisters! The parade is initiated by the Headless Horseman, a sight that is truly a marvel at the event.
This year, the Boo-To-You procession will be held every party night at 8:15PM and again at 11:15PM.

Disney has also revealed the schedule for the Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks display! This show, hosted by Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, includes pyrotechnics, lasers, and more. The fireworks will light up the sky each night at 10PM.
Another crowd-pleaser at the party is the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, taking place on the Cinderella Castle Stage and hosted by the Sanderson Sisters from Hocus Pocus. This year, villains such as Dr. Facilier, Oogie Boogie, and Maleficent will be making an appearance!
From August 9th through September 28th, the show will be performed each event night at 9:05PM, 10:40PM, and 12AM. From September 29th through October 31st, an additional show will be added at 7:40PM.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a specially ticketed event, so you must have a separate Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket to enter the Magic Kingdom. The party will occur on these select nights, beginning at 7PM and ending at midnight, with party guests permitted to enter the park as early as 4PM. Remember that the party does not occur every night—only select nights between August 9th and October 31st.
