Walt Disney World has confirmed the showtimes for the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and they are exactly what regulars expected. The Sanderson Sisters take the Cinderella Castle stage at 9:05pm, 10:35pm and midnight, matching the schedule the show ran in 2025.
Three Shows, Possibly Four Later
The times went up on Disney’s official show page in late July. Three performances per night is the standard pattern, and there is a reasonable chance a fourth gets added at 7:35pm on select October dates, as has happened in previous years. That has not been confirmed.
Practically, the 9:05pm show sits in the tightest window of the night, landing between the 8:15pm Boo-To-You parade and the 10pm fireworks, which makes the castle hub extremely busy from roughly 8:15 to 10:15. The 10:35pm show pairs more comfortably with the 11:15pm parade, and the midnight performance is the one with room to breathe. Anyone trying to see all three headline offerings in a single night is effectively choosing between the second parade and the last Spelltacular.
What The Show Actually Is
Winifred, Mary and Sarah return to the mortal world for the night and decide to throw a party, enlisting Disney villains to help brew the Hocus Pocus Party Potion. Disney’s official listing names Dr. Facilier, Oogie Boogie and Maleficent among the villains who appear, alongside dancers, projections and effects across the castle facade.
It debuted in 2015 and became a fixture almost immediately, which is why the showtimes matter more than they might for a newer offering. It also exists only during the party, so there is no way to catch it on a regular park day, and separate party admission is required.
Here’s a full video of the show:
Dates Are Going Fast
The confirmation lands just ahead of opening night. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs 38 select nights from August 7 through October 31, from 7pm to midnight, with party ticket holders allowed into Magic Kingdom from 4pm and tickets running from $119 to $229 plus tax depending on the date. Two brand new offerings join the lineup this season as well, an interactive Stitch dance party on the Rockettower Plaza Stage and a Captain Jack Sparrow show outside Tortuga Tavern, both running every party night.
Seven dates have already sold out, the most recent being a third October night, following opening night selling out earlier this summer. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club members save ten dollars per ticket, though Disney limits that discount to event nights from August 7 through October 2. If you are building an evening around the Spelltacular, the schedule above is now firm enough to plan on.
