We’re officially halfway to Halloween… Disney Parks around the world and Disney Cruise Line have a spooktacular line-up of announcements for the occasion!

Walt Disney World: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party Returns!

, Disney Parks Halloween Announcements with a Focus on Hocus Pocus

The full sized Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party returns to Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom for a total of 37 select nights, from August 12th through October 31st, 2022, running from 7pm to midnight. Event-exclusive entertainment, everyone’s favorite Disney villains, and the Haunted Mansion graveyard gravediggers are all set to return as well.

In honor of the resort’s anniversary celebration, exclusive step-in photo opportunities will be available. Complimentary Halloween-themed 50th-anniversary commemorative prints will be given to event attendees, in addition to reusable Trick or Treat tote bags.

This is huge news for all of us who were disappointed in last year’s scaled-back (but still full-priced) offering.  


Disneyland: Oogie Boogie Bash Returns 

Oogie Boogie Bash Halloween Party will officially return this upcoming Halloween season on select nights at Disney California Adventure Park with a few surprises… Guests will find new “Dark Variant” characters in Avengers Campus! 

Beginning in May, America Chavez from the new film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will appear inside Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure Park for a limited time, and Scarlett Witch will also be debuting for a brief time this May!

And over at Disneyland Park, Mickey and Minnie will don new, classically-themed Halloween costumes for the 2022 spooky season!

‘Halloween on the High Seas’ Aboard the Disney Wish

This year, Halloween on the High Seas sailings  will feature Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle Cow debuting never-before-seen outfits as they dress up as the Sanderson Sisters. This is just amazing creativity!

Clarabelle as Mary, Minnie as Winifred, and Daisy as Sarah – how perfect are they?!

And stunning new Halloween décor is coming to the newest ship in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, the Disney Wish, complete with an all-new Pumpkin Tree in the Cinderella-inspired Grand Hall.

Named Boo, the enchanted tree features lighter bark, graceful branches, and a mystical face. Legend has it Boo grew beautiful gourds with the help of a wishing star. The best pumpkin of them all was destined to grant a very special wish… In a flash of bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, that perfect pumpkin became the coach that carried Cinderella to the prince’s ball!


Disney Halloween Merchandise Shriek Peek

No need to go trick-or-treating for these goodies, Disney has all sorts of new Halloween merchandise set to arrive at Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, and shopDisney.

, Disney Parks Halloween Announcements with a Focus on Hocus Pocus

This new merchandise collection inspired by one of the most famous of Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies, Skeleton Dance, will be available in August. The too-silly-to-be-scary skeletons decorate multiple items, such as a crew neck, hooded sweatshirt, and a zip-up jacket.

Other apparel to look forward to includes a new Spirit Jersey, printed leggings, and a unisex long sleeve shirt for adults.

The Sanderson Sisters of Hocus Pocus have joined forces with Corkcicle to concoct some clever beverage containers. The travel tumbler will help keep your morning witch’s brew hot or refreshing drink cold.

And the cauldron-shaped Hocus Pocus mug comes with a spoon fashioned to resemble what the sisters used when making their potions. Both of these are expected to arrive soon.

Forget a pumpkin pail, carry your candy (and everything else) in these bags. This year’s mouse-eared Loungefly Mini Backpack features an all-over print bursting with costumed versions of Mickey and his pals, along with skulls, ghosts, eyeballs, and all sorts of other Halloween imagery. The Mickey Mini Backpack is coming soon.

Next up is a larger backpack inspired by Constance the murderous bride of the Haunted Mansion. The front has engravings of her (and her hatchet) as well as one of her headless late husbands, with several appliques mimicking the wedding photos seen in the mansion’s attic.

Finally, we see a small crossbody bag with Jack Skellington and Sally of the Nightmare Before Christmas on the front.

In terms of headwear, two Ear Headbands and two hats have been revealed. For Ear Headbands, the offerings include a simple tie-dyed orange and black style and a more detailed Oogie Boogie-themed one (perfect for Oogie Boogie Bash).

As for hats, one is black with a patch of a little ghost with mouse ears, and the other is similar to the pumpkin Mickey design of last year but with bugs and candy and such added as embellishments.

If you are afraid of the dark, these light-up toys should help. This year’s version of the pumpkin Mickey bubble wand has little ghosts decorating the handle.

Whereas, the Jack Skellington light-up necklace and the Zero toy (it looks like he is floating in the dark) remain the same as in previous years.

And coming soon from Disney’s licensed partners is a “Hocus Pocus Art of Coloring,” “The Hocus Pocus Spell Book,” “The Nightmare Before Christmas: Long Live the Pumpkin Queen,” and “Raising the Horseman” books… just to name a few.
