New for 2019 – โDisneyโs Not So Spooky Spectacularโ
As soon as Disney announced this new Fireworks show for 2019, I know for sure I had to make it to the Magic Kingdom for halloween this year. Hallowishes is an amazing show, so this new show has a lot to live upto, but from the preview Disney have released so far, im sure its going to become a fan favourite.
The new โDisneyโs Not So Spooky Spectacularโ lights the night sky during the witching season in a spellbinding display playing across the heavens. As host of the spectacle, Jack Skellington from Tim Burtonโs โThe Nightmare Before Christmasโ spins a not-so-scary tale about how anything can happen on Halloween night.
Jackโs ghost dog, Zero, brings everyone along on a trick-or-treating adventure where four friends โ Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy and Donald Duck โ find themselves drawn into a haunted house. Encounters with dancing skeletons, waltzing ghosts and wickedly troublemaking Disney villains make for a hair-raising adventure. It all comes to life with state-of-the-art projection effects, lasers, lighting and dazzling fireworks.
โMickeyโs Boo-To-You Halloween Paradeโ
The Boo To You parade is up there with my
The galloping Headless Horseman fronts โMickeyโs Boo-To-You Halloween Parade,โ setting the stage for spooktacular fun throughout Magic Kingdom. The parade opens with a flurry of beloved Disney friends, including Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse in new Halloween costumes. The spectral Bride from The Haunted Mansion appears in the parade this year alongside waltzing spirits and those famous Hitchhiking Ghosts. Pixar pals join the fun, too, including The Incredibles and designer extraordinaire Edna Mode, as well as Buzz Lightyear and alien explorers on a planetary playset float inspired by Pixarโs Toy Story films.
Wreck-It-Ralph, Vanellope von Schweetz and the girls from Sugar Rush make sure thereโs plenty of candy to go around during the parade. In addition, pirates sail in from Adventureland, Clarabelle Cow hosts a square dance during a Frontierland hoedown and a wicked assortment of Disney villains reigns over a Fantasyland-inspired grand finale.

Costume Policy
The Halloween Party is the only time Adult guests are allowed to dress up in costume whilst in the parks, so be sure to make the most of the opportunity, some guests really do go all out. The first time I went I just thought nobody would make the effort and instantly regretted not dressing up, so now try to make the effort every trip, it can be hard to bring a costume from the UK, but you can always try something simple and maybe dress up inspired by your favourite Disney character, rather than going all out.
(Im supposed to be Prince Phillip)
