Character Greetings in Costume
One of the event’s biggest highlights is the exclusive character meet-and-greets. Fan-favorites like Jack Skellington and Sally make appearances, alongside Mickey and Minnie in matching Halloween costumes at Town Square Theater.
Many of these characters don’t appear during regular park hours, so it’s the perfect time to grab those once-a-year photos. Expect Disney Villains to sneak through the streets as well—perfect for spooky selfies.
🕸️ Stay tuned for the full 2025 character lineup—we’ll update Soaring Holidays on Facebook as new details are released.
Boo-To-You Parade Returns
The Headless Horseman kicks off this must-see parade with his eerie ride down Main Street, U.S.A. Following him is a whimsical procession of ghosts, princesses, villains, and rare characters like Pain & Panic and Vanellope.
In 2025, the Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade begins at 8:15 PM, giving younger guests time to enjoy the show before bedtime. The parade runs twice nightly, so you have two chances to catch it.
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
Back by popular demand, the Sanderson Sisters summon their most devious Disney villain friends in this stage show. The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular features live music, projections, and a whole lot of mischief.
Watch as Winifred, Sarah, and Mary try to brew the ultimate Halloween party potion with help from Hades, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and more. It’s equal parts hilarious and haunting.
Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks
As the night creeps toward midnight, Cinderella Castle becomes the centerpiece of a hauntingly beautiful fireworks show hosted by Jack Skellington.
Watch as Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald explore a haunted house brought to life with stunning projections, eerie music, and appearances by Ursula, Queen of Hearts, and Oogie Boogie.
This fireworks display is a can’t-miss moment and best viewed from the hub in front of the castle.
Exclusive Food, Merch & Attractions
The 2025 party will offer a fresh selection of specialty Halloween treats and drinks—including themed cupcakes, festive popcorn buckets, and candy apples.
Don’t forget to check out the exclusive event merchandise, like spirit jerseys, pins, and glow-in-the-dark goodies. Rides like Space Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean often receive spooky overlays just for party guests.
And yes, the Cadaver Dans—a haunted twist on the classic Dapper Dans—will return with bone-rattling barbershop harmonies.
