New 'Hocus Pocus' Section Coming To Disney World's Halloween Parade

Walt Disney World recently announced that the highly-popular Halloween party — Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — will return to Magic Kingdom this year.

Per Disney, "With spellbinding entertainment, favorite Disney characters dressed in their Halloween best and more, celebrate the most haunting time of the year at Walt Disney World Resort. This limited-capacity, nighttime event starts at 7 p.m. and allows guests to experience shorter wait times on attractions, themed food and beverage, and more."

During the Halloween Party, Guests can watch Mickey's Boo-To-You Parade -- something unique to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. For this year, Disney has announced a new section will be coming -- one themed with the popular Halloween film, "Hocus Pocus."

In a new video shared on Disney Parks Instagram, the company announced Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, and Clarabelle would appear in Mickey's Boo-To-You Parade, dressed up as characters from "Hocus Pocus."

"Oh, look. Another glorious Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party detail is revealed. It makes us sick! ? #DisneyWorld #MickeysNotSoScaryHalloweenParty #HocusPocus #SandersonSisters," Disney shared.

Minnie will be dressed as Winifred, Daisy will be dressed as Sarah, and Clarabelle will dress as Mary -- the three Sanderson Sisters. "See Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle dressed as the Sanderson Sisters in Mickey's "Boo-To-You" Parade at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! ?," Disney wrote.

With this news, Guests can expect other changes to come to the parade as in previous years, Minnie appeared alongside Mickey on a float while Daisy appeared next to Donald. Clarabelle had her entire section for the train. With the three characters now appearing as "Hocus Pocus" characters, Guests can expect to see the Clarabelle section removed and Mickey and Donald's float changes.

Mickey's Boo-To-You Parade only appears during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Disney states, "Catch a glimpse of dastardly villains, ghastly ghouls, and other iconic Characters as they float by during this spellbinding parade. Twice nightly, this beloved cavalcade brings forth an assortment of fiendishly fun floats as each land of the Magic Kingdom park comes together to celebrate during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party—offered on select nights from August 11 through November 1, 2023.

Guests can look forward to seeing "a flurry of favorite Disney friends, including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, donning Halloween costumes as they prepare to go trick-or-treat down Main Street, U.S.A."

Another highlight of Mickey's Boo-To-You Parade includes the Hitchhiking Ghosts from the iconic ride, the Haunted Mansion, and "a wicked assortment of Disney Villains reign over a Fantastyland-inspired grand finale."

Additionally, the iconic special fireworks show will also return. "Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular" is described as "Jack-o-lanterns aren't the only 'Jack' at Walt Disney World this Halloween! The Pumpkin King, a.k.a. Jack Skellington, will host the must-see nighttime, "Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular." Featuring projections, special effects, and lighting paired with fireworks, music, and iconic Disney characters, you won't want to miss this!"
