Yes, we say this every year, but it is true. There have been many stage shows over the years on stage in front of the Cinderella Castle at the Magic Kingdom and the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular beats almost all of them.
The show, performed three times nightly during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, is the perfect combination of humor, music, and, of course, villains. The Sanderson Sisters, with the help of villains, try to conjure up a the Hocus Pocus Party Potion and cast a spell on everyone in Magic Kingdom.
Here’s some of our favorite moments from the show.
