Somehow, we are one week out from Halloween at Disney.Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off next Friday, August 7, which means Magic Kingdom’s Halloween season officially begins in seven days. If that number caught you off guard, you are not alone. The party start date creeping into the first week of August still surprises people every single year, and it always arrives faster than it feels like it should.For anyone with tickets already in hand, this is the stretch where planning actually matters. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a dense event. Tickets run from $119 to $229 per person, depending on the date, and there is a genuine difference between a night you mapped out in advance and a night you improvised. Walking in without a plan means missing things that would have made the evening significantly better, and at these prices, that stings.That is why showtime announcements in the final week before opening are so useful. Every piece of confirmed scheduling gives guests something concrete to build around, especially families trying to work a parade, a fireworks show, a stage show, and trick-or-treating into one evening with kids who have a bedtime.Today brought one of the last big missing pieces. Walt Disney World has announced this year’s showtimes for the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular.Credit: DisneyHocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular 2026 ShowtimesThe Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular will perform at 9:05 p.m., 10:35 p.m., and midnight during every party.An additional 7:35 p.m. showtime will likely be added for party dates after September 27, though the Walt Disney World calendar does not yet show times past that date.If those times look familiar, that is because they are. These are the same showtimes the Spelltacular ran in 2025, which is good news for anyone who has done this party before and already has a routine that works.What the Halloween Show Actually IsFor anyone attending their first party, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular is the stage show performed in front of Cinderella Castle, and it is exclusive to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. You cannot see it on a regular Magic Kingdom day.The show stars the Sanderson Sisters creating a party potion with help from a lineup of Disney Villains, including Dr. Facilier, Oogie Boogie, and Maleficent.It is one of the most popular offerings of the entire night, and the castle forecourt fills up well before showtime. The three confirmed showings give you flexibility, and the midnight performance is generally the most manageable crowd if you are willing to stay that late.How It Fits With the Rest of the Halloween Entertainment With these times confirmed, the core entertainment schedule for the party is now largely mapped out.Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade runs twice each night. The first showing is at 8:15 p.m., and the second is at its traditional 11:15 p.m. start.That 8:15 p.m. slot matters enormously for families. Disney shifted the first parade into a sunset window back in 2024 so younger guests could see the full parade before bedtime became a real problem, and that decision carries into 2026. The tradeoff is crowds. Earlier showings pull bigger crowds because there is no late-night advantage to arriving early, so if the 8:15 p.m. parade is a priority, get to the route well ahead of time.Credit: DisneyThe parade begins in Frontierland near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and works its way down Main Street, U.S.A., toward the Fire Station. One planning note that trips people up: the pre-parade Max and the Powerline Party Pack offering only happens on Main Street, U.S.A., not along the full route. If you want to see it, position accordingly.Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks run once per night at 10 p.m. Projections cover Cinderella Castle during the show, and a large-scale Jack Skellington anchors the forecourt stage, which means the hub in front of the castle offers the best sightlines. It is also the most crowded spot in the park at that hour, so arrive early if a clear view matters to you.Building Your Halloween Party Night Around These TimesLine up the schedule, and the shape of the evening becomes clear.The 9:05 p.m. Spelltacular sits between the 8:15 p.m. parade and the 10 p.m. fireworks, which is tight but workable if you are staying in the castle area for all three. That stretch from 8:15 to 10:15 is the busiest window of the night in the hub, and it is also when trick-or-treat lines around the park tend to thin out.The 10:35 p.m. Spelltacular pairs naturally with the 11:15 p.m. parade for guests who would rather do their attraction riding earlier in the evening.The midnight show is the night owl option, and it is the one most likely to give you room to breathe.Guests with party tickets can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 p.m. on party nights, giving you up to eight hours inside the park. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members qualify for a ten-dollar discount on ticket purchases.Credit: DisneyWhat Is Still to ComeMickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs select dates from August 7 through October 31, 2026.A few offerings still do not have confirmed showtimes, including Masquerade with Stitch, the Disney Jr. Jam Dance Party, Halloween in Storybook Circus, the Cadaver Dans, and the Rusty Cutlass Pirate Band. Those are expected to be confirmed as the party start date approaches.It is also worth remembering that this event has already triggered sellouts this year. If you are still deciding whether to go, that is not a decision to sit on much longer.One Week OutSeven days from now, the Sanderson Sisters will be back on the castle stage, and Main Street, U.S.A., will be full of guests in costume.Having these showtimes a full week in advance is exactly what makes the difference between a party night that flows and one that feels like a scramble. Take twenty minutes, put the times side by side, and decide now which shows you are prioritizing.The post Disney World Confirms Final Showtimes One Week Before Halloween Party appeared first on Inside the Magic.
