The Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular looks to be heading back to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this fall. Disney has posted two casting notices - one for dancers and one for vocalists - pointing to a return of the Cinderella Castle stage show for the 2026 party season.

Despite being one of the most popular shows at the Halloween party, there had been chatter that the Spelltacular might be on its way out. The casting notices put that speculation to rest - at least for 2026.

The show debuted in 2015 and has built a strong following as one of the highest-rated castle stage shows at Walt Disney World. It centers on the Sanderson Sisters - Winifred, Mary, and Sarah - returning to the mortal world for one night to throw the ultimate Halloween party at Magic Kingdom.

The sisters team up with a roster of Disney villains to brew the ultimate party potion and cast a spell over the park. Joining them on stage are Dr. Facilier, Oogie Boogie, and Maleficent, backed by dancers, projection mapping, and special effects.

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party dates for 2026 have not yet been announced (they were revealed on May 21 last year). We'll have more details as Disney confirms the 2026 party season.

I have attended the Party many times over the last several years and have always brought my own large 'Trick or Treat' bag. Never had any issues and often received compliments. By the end of the evening, CMs are often literally shoveling their leftover candies into it! The Park often sells larger 'Trick or Treat' themed tote bags or novelty candy holding containers in the various shops on Main Street as well. Happy Haunting! -

The original costumes also helped pop the bunting and pumpkins especially on Main Street. They were such great compliments to each other.

They have also in the past sold larger trick or treat bags, I'm sure they still do. One year I did it, we had 9lb of candy by the end of the event.

Excellent. We’re leaving kiddos home, but they’re more likely to forgive me if I bring bags of candy.

Gringrinngghost5 days ago

In the past I've filled up the first bag and then was given a second bag easily.

Think they will let us take an extra bag for my kiddo?

Themed entertainment is a huge improvement over a dj.
