With spooky season just a few weeks away, new glow-in-the-dark Halloween merchandise is beginning to arrive at Walt Disney World. We found a Halloween ear headband, Loungefly mini backpack, and ball caps at Discovery Trading Co. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Instead of a bow, a pleather piece depicting Minnie Mouse dressed as a bat is in the center. The image uses dark teal and red-orange colors. This piece glows in the dark.

The Disney Parks and Loungefly plaque at the top of the bag is dark teal and it’s on a yellow piece of pleather.
The bag also glows in the dark.
The rest of the bag is dark blue — almost black — with an all-over pattern of Mickey & Friends in costume, gravestones, bats, and jack-o’-lanterns.
The side pockets have pink interiors.
The straps are dark teal and yellow.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party entertainment includes Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade. Performed twice nightly, weather permitting, the parade features Disney Villains, Haunted Mansion characters, Mickey & Friends, and more. This year, Minnie, Daisy, and Clarabelle will appear in the parade as the Sanderson Sisters of “Hocus Pocus.”
The Headless Horseman usually rides ahead of the parade. Last year, Max Goof performed as Powerline in a parade pre-show.
The actual Sanderson Sisters host the “Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular,” summoning various Disney Villains for a stage show in front of Cinderella Castle.
Jack Skellington of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” hosts Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, a nighttime spectacular including fireworks and castle projections.
The event also includes special food and beverage items.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the only times adult guests can wear costumes to the parks.
