They'll need a little help from their friends, who include some of Disney's most notorious Villains, like Hades, Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and The Evil Queen. Guests will assist by adding ingredients to the cauldron with lots of clapping and singing along.

As the party nears the witching hour, guests are invited to a spooky storytime with the Pumpkin King himself, Jack Skellington, who has turned Cinderella Castle into a haunted house. Watch as Zero leads Mickey and Friends inside, where spiderwebs, skeletons, and Grim Grinning Ghosts await.

Stunning projections will transform the castle into a spooky fantasy while fireworks light up the sky. Prepare for towering encounters with Ursula, The Queen of Hearts, and Oogie Boogie. Will Mickey and Friends escape Jack’s haunted house this time?
