Disney's Not So Spooky Spectacular show

Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party debuted its all new firework show this evening - Disney's Not So Spooky Spectacular.

Replacing Happy HalloWishes, the near 14 minute show features perimeter fireworks, castle projection mapping, an all new soundtrack, and an onstage appearance by Jack Skellington.

Check out the video below for a look at the full show from its opening night at the Magic Kingdom.

So apparently the “blue curaçao” is blue curaçao syrup, meaning no alcohol. Seems like a bait and switch to me. Might have actually made the party tolerable.
Not so sure about the soundtrack but the fireworks were amazing.
HalloWishes was more of a "fuller" presentation. This not-so-spooky spooktacular or whatever it is feels like it was a bigger and grander show that was cut down.

Not a fan, especially compared to Happily Ever After.

How could it be cut down??? It just debuted!!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! A lighter feel than Hallowishes Which is what I wanted since it's called Not So Spooky. LOVED the Main Street lighting!!! That should be in HEA tomorrow! I'm guessing no but, it's better than just a dark Main Street. I think MK's pyro team has gotten better since HEA!!!!!!

LOVED the new additions to BTY!

My first thought after the show ended was "....that was it?" It felt like a small chunk of a bigger and longer show instead of a complete piece by itself.

I guess maybe it was meant to be a 18 minute show like HEA but got cut down to 12 mins, maybe that also explains the big amount of pyro that was used.

I agree. Music was loud and busy. It seemed very rushed. It was 5 songs and done.

Hallowishes > what ever that firework show was

The only good part was the projections and Jack skellington puppet.

They weren't?

I have been corrected. I was distracted when they past. 🙄

The $7.99 price tag didn’t tip you off?
Seeing the perimeter fireworks and pyro in this just make me wish even more what HEA could've been if it went through its original ambitions/plans to have perimeter fireworks nightly.. 😭

That being said, I thought the show was pretty cool. But it felt like they placed story over pace and rhythm here. Still very much an upgrade overall imo tho..
Here is our video of the new show
To be honest, I rather have taken an upgraded Hallowishes with HEA technology than this show. The puppet and projections/lasers were great, but the rest was pretty bland, EVEN THE PERIMETER FIEWORKS!! They really missed the opportunity to have Zero fly in this show, also that ghost scene shouldn't be a thing.

Wonder how long before they budget cut some of the fireworks...
