Disney: What’s new for parade on Not-So-Scary Halloween Party nights
Walt Disney World has not stirred the pot/cauldron much regarding Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the after-hours event at Magic Kingdom. And really, why mess with a proven recipe so potent that the first month’s worth of Not-So-Scary nights is sold out already?
The most obvious tweaks appear in Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, which features a slew of characters, many decked out in seasonal, semi-spooky costumes.
“Our villains unit got even bigger,” says Tara Anderson, show director.
Bringing up the rear of the parade is that “it’s good to be bad” gang, an assortment of Disney baddies, some of whom appear a bit scary.
The addition of “The Little Mermaid” nemesis Ursula, who glides and spins through the parade route, is notable, and sidekicks Flotsam and Jetsam are creatively presented by performers in shadowy black top-of-head-to-tippy-toe body stockings.
“The Queen of Hearts brought some playing cards,” Anderson says, referring to a new set of choreographed dancers from a deck. “Gaston is flirting with the Tremaine girls, and Foulfellow and Gideon are there, so there’s lots of villains.”
