Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular Showtimes Confirmed for MNSSHP 2026

Reading Time: 4 minutes

The Sanderson Sisters have their schedule. Disney confirmed the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular showtimes for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026, and they take the Cinderella Castle stage three times on the first party night.

9:05pm, 10:35pm, and midnight. The times match last year’s schedule exactly.

With this confirmation, all three major entertainment offerings now have posted times for 2026. Here’s the full schedule and how to actually plan a party night around it.

Quick Summary

• Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular runs at 9:05pm, 10:35pm, and midnight
• The times match the 2025 schedule
• Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade runs at 8:15pm for its first showing
• Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks are at 10pm
• The second parade showing is the only major showtime still unconfirmed
• In 2025 that second parade ran at 11:15pm

Full Confirmed Entertainment Schedule

All three major entertainment offerings now have confirmed times for 2026:

Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade

• 8:15pm

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular

• 9:05pm
• 10:35pm
• 12:00am

Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks

• 10pm

The second showing of Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade remains the only major showtime not yet confirmed. In 2025 it ran at 11:15pm, and that remains the most likely time for 2026 — but Disney has not yet posted it officially.

How to Plan Your Night Around These Times

Here’s the honest reality: the party runs 7pm to midnight, and the entertainment schedule stacks three major shows into a three-hour window. You cannot do everything and also ride attractions and also trick-or-treat.

You have to choose. Here are the three approaches that actually work.

Strategy 1: Second Parade, First Everything Else

The best plan for most people.

• 7pm–8:15pm — Trick-or-treat and hit headliner attractions while lines are shortest
• 9:05pm — First Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
• 10pm — Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks
• 11:15pm — Second Boo-to-You parade (pending confirmation)

Skipping the 8:15pm parade for the second showing is the single highest-value decision at this party. The first parade draws the biggest crowd. The second one has noticeably more room and better viewing spots.

Strategy 2: Ride Everything

If you’ve seen the shows before:

• 7pm–midnight — Ride attractions during the 8:15pm parade, the 9:05pm Spelltacular, the 10pm fireworks, and the 11:15pm parade

Every entertainment offering pulls thousands of guests off the attraction queues. Party nights already have low wait times. During the parade and fireworks, they collapse further.

Strategy 3: The Midnight Spelltacular

The underrated option.

The 12:00am Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular is the last showing of the night, and it consistently has the smallest crowd. Many families with young children have left by then.

If you can keep your group going, the midnight show is the one where you can actually get a good spot in the castle hub without staking it out 45 minutes early.

Viewing Tips for Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular

The show plays on the Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage, which means the castle hub is your viewing area.

• Arrive 20 to 30 minutes early for the 9:05pm show. It’s the most crowded of the three.
• The 10:35pm show is the sweet spot if midnight is too late for your group. It runs after the fireworks, when a chunk of the crowd disperses.
• Stage left and right have real sightlines. You don’t need to be dead center. The show uses the full castle facade and projection surfaces.
• Don’t stand under the Partners statue area if you want a clean view — that spot gets claimed early and blocks flow.
• Check the app the day of. Times occasionally shift, and the app reflects live schedules.

Why the Times Matching 2025 Matters

Disney holding the same 9:05pm, 10:35pm, and midnight schedule tells you the show format is unchanged, and it lets returning guests reuse a plan that worked.

It also confirms three showings rather than two, which is the more important number. Three showings across a five-hour party means you have genuine flexibility. A two-showing schedule would force much harder tradeoffs against the parade and fireworks.

The fact that the second parade time is the last holdout is a little unusual, but 11:15pm is the strong bet based on 2025.

Party Night Basics

For context around the entertainment schedule:

• Party ticket holders can enter Magic Kingdom from 4pm, three hours before the party officially starts at 7pm
• The party runs 7pm to midnight
• Trick-or-treating runs at over a dozen stops throughout the park, with complimentary treat bags provided
• New this year: Stitch hosts a dance party at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland, and Captain Jack Sparrow leads pirate entertainment in Adventureland

That 4pm entry is the most underused benefit of a party ticket. Use those three hours for attractions and dining so your 7pm to midnight window is entirely party content.

The Bottom Line

Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular showtimes for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026 are confirmed at 9:05pm, 10:35pm, and midnight, joining the 8:15pm Boo-to-You parade and the 10pm Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks.

The second parade showing is still unconfirmed, with 11:15pm the likely time based on 2025.

Skip the first parade, catch the 9:05pm Spelltacular, watch the fireworks at 10, and take the second parade. That’s the plan that gets you the most out of a party night.
