In a new tweet from the official Disney Parks twitter page, it’s been revealed that Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle will appear in Mickey’s “Boo-To-You” Parade dressed as the Sanderson Sisters.
‘Hocus Pocus’ Sanderson Sisters Arrive
This will be at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party later this year in Magic Kingdom. The same trio appeared last year at Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure; we have video below.
The Sanderson Sisters are the star witch trio of the 1993 Disney film “Hocus Pocus” and its 2022 sequel “Hocus Pocus 2.” In the movies, they are portrayed by Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kathy Najimy. In the original, 300 years after the trio was last seen, they are accidentally resurrected due to a curse they left behind. Unless they can suck the life out of at least one child before Halloween ends, they will turn to dust when the sun rises.
While not initially a box office success during its original 1993 release, “Hocus Pocus” has become a staple of the Halloween season, having repeated viewings on Freeform throughout the month of October, its own stage show at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World, and plenty of themed merchandise and food offerings.
Earlier this month, a Walt Disney Studios executive confirmed “Hocus Pocus 3” would be happening.
