Family Friendly Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Begins Sept. 1 at Magic Kingdom

Halloween’s happiest haunts will reappear for 26 “spook-tacular” nights of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom.

From Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, the after-hours special ticket event will immerse guests in the Halloween spirit. The bewitching “Happy HalloWishes” fireworks spectacular will illuminate the sky in bursts of orange and green fireworks. In “Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade,” the Headless Horseman parades a gang of ghostly characters down Main Street, U.S.A. for a haunted, but happy, Halloween season.

Disney villains take center stage in 2014 with “Villains Mix & Mingle — Live on Stage” castle show; and Club Villain, an all-new nightly character dance party experience takes over the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon in Frontierland. Mischevious villains will be available for guests to meet all night long in locations throughout the park.

The night of ever-so-slightly frightful fun begins at 7 p.m. and runs until midnight, with guests encouraged to don their favorite Halloween costumes and partake in trick-or-treating around Magic Kingdom.

Party dates in 2014 are:

Sept. 1, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26 & 28
Oct. 2, 3, 5, 9, 10, 13, 16, 17, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 27, 30 and 31

To purchase advance tickets, guests can visit disneyworld.com/halloween or call 407-W-DISNEY.

Disney Announces new Move it! Shake it! Dance and Play it! Street Party

moveit-shake-it-danceandplay-it-dance-partyDisney has announced a new street party for Magic Kingdom.  The “Move it! Shake It! Dance & Play It!” Street Party replaces the “Move it! Shake it! Celebrate it! Street Party.  There will still be an emcee for the party plus new characters such as Stitch and Phineas and Ferb joining many of the current characters.

The floats should be very similar and the route should be the same.  Guests will continue to interact with their favorite characters, as they move it, shake it, and dance and play it, around the Cinderella Castle hub this fall.
