New details released on Halloween Party fireworks, other special party additions

Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” will take over the hosting duties of the new fireworks show during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this fall Walt Disney World.

The new show, called “Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular,” will have state-of-the-art projection effects, lasers, lighting and fireworks.

Jack will tell a not-so-scary story about how anything can happen on Halloween night. “Jack’s ghost dog, Zero, then flies off carrying everyone along on a trick-or-treating adventure, where four friends – Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy – find themselves drawn into a mysterious haunted house. Their journey takes them from one room of the house to another, encountering dancing skeletons, waltzing ghosts and a whole series of troublemaking Disney villains,” according to Disney.

In addition to the fireworks, several attractions will get holiday overlays. New this year, will be a special interactive segment at Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor. When you follow the treat trail into the Monster World at Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor, they’ll interact in all-new ways with the comic cast of monsters, as they learn about Halloween.

At the Pirates of the Caribbean, you’ll discover a crew of live pirates on your journey, engaged in a whole new adventure in search of treasure. Space Mountain goes completely dark again this year, hurtling you through the blackness of deep space to the riffs and chords of a new hard-rockin’ soundtrack, and at the Mad Tea Party in Fantasyland, each spin of the teacups takes guests into madder and madder territory, as special lighting and music give the attraction experience an extra energy after dark.

In addition, the “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular,” the ride of the Headless Horseman, “Mickey’s Boo to You Halloween Parade,” Monstrous Scream-O-Ween Ball and “Storybook Circus Disney Junior Jam,” return this year.

New this year Nancy Clancy from the hit Disney Junior series “Fancy Nancy” joins other Disney Junior pals like Vampirina and Doc McStuffins.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, select nights August 16 – November 1, 2019.
