The show will incorporate the Disney villains, dancers, projections, and special effects.

• Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular: Watch the skies come alive in a Halloween spectacular with lasers and fireworks! Gather ‘round as Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas delights with a not so scary-tale that proves anything can happen at Halloween! During the frightfully fun fireworks display, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy are spirited away to a mysterious haunted house where they encounter dancing skeletons, waltzing ghosts and a sinister gathering of Disney villains!

Here’s our suggestion of what your Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party plan of attack should be:
