New Spooky Experiences Coming to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party



Fall is just around the corner, and this year there is another reason to join the fun during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom® Park!
Taking place select nights Aug. 17 – Oct. 31, 2018, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary will add a few new twists and treats to this year's event.
The Mad Tea Party will take your for a colorful ride as new lighting and effects give a new spin on the night. Depending on the color of your costume, you may also transform under the new dancing lights. 
On Pirates of the Caribbean, new pirates invade experience, interacting with sailing Guests who will join the search for “Gunpowder Pete.” Arrrgh!
On Space Mountain, explorers will hurtle through deep space as a new soundtrack and special effects transform the adventure. 
Also new this year, Storybook Circus welcomes the Storybook Circus Disney Junior Jam, a dance party featuring favorite Disney Junior Characters, including Doc McStuffins!
As always,  dancing ghosts, the Headless Horseman, plus Mickey, Peter Pan and many more favorite characters return in the themed parade. The skies above come alive with a magical fireworks extravaganza and a spectacle that definitely goes bump in the night. Plus, the spellbinding “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular” castle show returns, as the Sanderson Sisters take “stage fright” to another level. And, there are plenty of sweets for all trick-or-treaters, even allergy-friendly options.

4th of July at Walt Disney World Resort



Independence Day is right around the corner, and the parks at Walt Disney World® Resort will be celebrating our nation’s birthday with some star-spangled salutes to America!
If you are visiting during the 4th of July, here are some highlights of the special entertainment planned for that day:
  • Epcot® – On July 4, enjoy special evening concerts of great American songs by Voices of Liberty at 5:30 p.m., 6:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the America Gardens Theatre. During the day, they can also meet Mickey and the gang in patriotic attire outside The American Adventure, and at 9 p.m. that night “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” joins the celebration with the addition of a heart-pounding, all-American grand finale!
  • Magic Kingdom® Park – At 9:15 p.m. on both July 3 and 4, “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” rockets into the air above – and all around – the park. Since this special, fireworks spectacular will be presented two nights in a row, you can start the celebration early. Each evening will also see special DJ parties hosted in Frontierland and Tomorrowland, where Guests can get a great view of the fireworks!
  • Disney’s Hollywood Studios® – Spend the Fourth celebrating one of the greatest icons of American popular culture at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with “Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular.” This one-of-a-kind show blasts off at 10 p.m. with fireworks, lasers, projection effects and more!
