Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2023 is set to begin tomorrow, August 11, and head of the party’s debut, we spotted a photo op themed to “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” in Magic Kingdom.
‘The Legend of Sleepy Hollow’ Photo Op
Disney’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” brings Ichabod Crane to life as a lanky, comical schoolteacher. The bumbling Ichabod faces the notorious Headless Horseman in a whimsical and spooky escapade. The headless horseman famously leads Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, a staple of Halloween festivities at Magic Kingdom.
This photo op gives guests the chance to take a photo on a pathway with the Headless Horseman furiously throwing his flaming jack-o-lantern head toward them. Spooky trees as well as headstones are also part of the decor.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is an after-hours, hard-ticket event separate from daily general admission at Magic Kingdom. It will take place on the following dates:

Those tickets are beginning to sell out, though. Here is what’s already gone:
- All Auguest dates
- September 1 & 15
- October 31
Pricing ranges from $109 to $199, depending on the date. Last year, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was completely sold out by September 11.
Entertainment at the after-hours event includes Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, and Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular.
The parade is performed twice nightly, weather permitting, and is usually preceded by the Headless Horseman riding through the park. It features Disney Villains, Haunted Mansion characters, Mickey & Friends, and more.
This year, Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle will appear in the parade as the Sanderson Sisters of “Hocus Pocus.” They debuted the look at Disney California Adventure and on Disney Cruise Line last year.
Max Goof will return to host pop-up Powerline parties throughout Magic Kingdom, as well as reprise his dance show on Main Street, U.S.A. ahead of Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade.
The real Sanderson Sisters host Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular as they create a special party potion with help from “frightful friends.”
Additionally, Jack Skellington from “The Nightmare Before Christmas” hosts Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, the nighttime fireworks and projection show also featuring Mickey & Friends.
A “spirited pirate band and their crew” will perform sea shanties in Adventureland for the first time. The Dapper Dans usually become the Cadaver Dans during the festivities and perform in Frontierland. There will also be exclusive Halloween food and beverage items.
