There’s a third new show, and nobody was talking about it. The complete entertainment schedule for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 is confirmed, and it includes Max and the Powerline Party Pack — a new addition featuring Max from A Goofy Movie that wasn’t part of the earlier announcements.
The MNSSHP 2026 entertainment schedule also confirms a fourth Hocus Pocus showing from October 1, plus exact times for every performance.
The party runs 7pm to midnight, with party ticket holders able to enter Magic Kingdom from 4pm.
Quick Summary
- Max and the Powerline Party Pack is a new 2026 addition with five performances nightly
- Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular adds a 7:35pm showing from October 1
- The Cadaver Dans perform six times per party night
- Captain Jack’s, Stitch’s, and the DescenDANCE Party run continuously 7pm to midnight
- Boo-to-You runs at 8:15pm and 11:15pm
- Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks are at 10pm
Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade
8:15pm and 11:15pm
The fan-favorite parade features Disney characters in Halloween costumes, gravediggers, and a lineup of Disney Villains.
Two showings per night means flexibility to catch it early or late. The first parade is more crowded.
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
9:05pm, 10:35pm, and 12:00am
The Sanderson Sisters take over the Cinderella Castle stage for a musical production joined by Disney Villains including Hades, Cruella De Vil, Jafar, Dr. Facilier, and The Evil Queen.
From October 1, an additional 7:35pm showing is added as the park gets darker earlier in the evening — giving guests a fourth performance option on later season nights.
That October addition is genuinely useful and easy to miss. Four showings on October nights means the midnight show is no longer the only low-crowd option.
Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular
10pm
Jack Skellington narrates as Cinderella Castle transforms with projections and the sky fills with fireworks.
The Cadaver Dans Barbershop Quartet
7:00pm, 7:50pm, 8:45pm, 9:30pm, 10:50pm, and 11:45pm
The Cadaver Dans perform six times per party night in Frontierland, making them one of the most accessible entertainment offerings of the evening.
Six showings is the highest count of any scheduled performance at the party. If you’ve never caught the Cadaver Dans, there’s no excuse — they’re a barbershop quartet on a barge singing Halloween standards, and they’re a genuine highlight for people who bother to stop.
Max and the Powerline Party Pack
7:00pm, 7:55pm, 8:50pm, 10:25pm, and 11:25pm
A new addition to the 2026 lineup. Max from A Goofy Movie leads five performances per party night.
This Is a Bigger Deal Than It Sounds
A Goofy Movie has a devoted adult following that has spent thirty years asking for parks representation. Powerline — the in-universe pop star Max idolizes — is one of the most beloved deep cuts in the Disney animated catalog.
“Max and the Powerline Party Pack” running five times a night at a hard-ticket event is the most substantial A Goofy Movie presence Walt Disney World has offered.
If you’re in that audience, this is your show. Expect the crowd to skew adult and enthusiastic.
Note that earlier announcements described only two new entertainment additions for 2026 — Captain Jack’s Buccaneer Bash and Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup. Max makes three.
Continuous Entertainment
Three offerings run 7pm to midnight without set showtimes:
Captain Jack’s Buccaneer Bash — Captain Jack Sparrow leads pirate entertainment outside Tortuga Tavern in Adventureland, with a salty pirate band, jugglers, and audience participation.
Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup — Stitch, Lilo, and Angel host an interactive dance celebration at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland, featuring games, candy giveaways, music, video, and costumes.
Destination DescenDANCE Party — runs continuously alongside the other party entertainment.
Continuous offerings are the flexible part of your night. Since they have no showtimes, slot them around the scheduled performances rather than planning around them.

Building Your Night
With three scheduled performances, two parades, six Cadaver Dans sets, five Max shows, and three continuous offerings, you cannot see everything.
A workable plan:
- 4pm–7pm — Use your early entry for attractions and dinner
- 7:00pm — Cadaver Dans or Max opener while crowds are thin
- 8:15pm — Skip the first parade; run trick-or-treat and character lines instead
- 9:05pm — Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
- 10pm — Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks
- 10:25pm — Max and the Powerline Party Pack
- 11:15pm — Second Boo-to-You parade, far less crowded
- 12:00am — Final Hocus Pocus if you’re still standing
On October nights, swap the 9:05pm Spelltacular for the 7:35pm showing and free up your mid-evening entirely.
All entertainment, showtimes, and character appearances are subject to change without notice.
The Bottom Line
The MNSSHP 2026 entertainment schedule confirms Boo-to-You at 8:15pm and 11:15pm, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular at 9:05pm, 10:35pm and midnight with a 7:35pm showing added from October 1, fireworks at 10pm, six Cadaver Dans sets, and five performances of the new Max and the Powerline Party Pack.
Captain Jack’s, Stitch’s Masquerade Mashup, and the Destination DescenDANCE Party run continuously from 7pm to midnight.
Max is the addition worth planning around if A Goofy Movie means anything to you.
