New characters will be appearing in Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade during the 2023 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom.
Disney didn’t specify what new characters would appear, just writing on Disney Parks Blog, “You may even spot some ghoulish new faces this year.” They did confirm Disney villains, Disney heroes, Haunted Mansion graveyard diggers, and “other favorite characters” would return to the parade.
Watch our video of last year’s full Boo-To-You Halloween Parade below.
Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade is approximately 23 minutes long and is performed twice nightly, weather permitting. Performances are usually at 9:15 p.m. and 11:15 p.m., but check the guide map or the My Disney Experience App will have the most up-to-date schedule.
