Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

You don’t have to worry about frightening your children if you find yourself at Disney World or Disneyland this Halloween season. In lieu of haunted houses and chainsaw-wielding zombies, Disney focuses on parades, fireworks and festive shows to celebrate spooky season. In fact, Disney named it’s fall event “Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.  While it lacks in gore and fright, it amps it up with fun and festivity. Guests are encouraged to enter the parks in costume. Whether or not you decide to dress in costume, all park guests can take part in trick-or-treating through Magic Kingdom. The park even provides bags for collecting candy from cast members.

Another can’t-miss October event is Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade. Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy dress in costume and it is perfect for all ages! However, the parade does kick off with the Headless Horseman galloping down the street, so it does have a bit of a fright factor.

Pirates of the Caribbean also gets a Halloween makeover this year. A new character, Gunpowder Pete, is a live actor that pops in and out of the animatronic characters.

Finally, “Happy HalloWishes” is another Halloween event you can’t miss. The show features animated villains from Disney movies and books, and finishes with a fireworks display.

 

Disney Will Soon Have Vegan Menu Items at all Restaurants in its US Parks
