With just a couple weeks until the start of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, Halloween scarecrows and jack-o’-lanterns have arrived in Town Square at Magic Kingdom.
Halloween Decorations
Two jack-o’-lanterns are in the planter in front of the Town Square Walt Disney World Railroad station, at the park’s entrance gates.
The scarecrows are gathered in the planters at the center of Town Square, with pumpkins on the ground around them. Each is in a unique outfit and some represent different aspects of Main Street, U.S.A. This stylish scarecrow is in a purple dress with a matching parasol.
One scarecrow is dressed as a mayor, complete with a sash and top hat.
This marching band scarecrow got a little overzealous with his drum.
This scarecrow is wearing a plaid skirt reminiscent of the Emporium Cast Member costumes and carries an Emporium shopping bag.
A baker scarecrow carries a bag of sugar — but the sugar is pouring out of a hole he hasn’t noticed.
This scarecrow is ready for work at the Main Street Confectionery in her yellow dress and apron. She carries a lollipop and candy apple.
Finally, this scarecrow represents Casey’s Corner in his baseball uniform.
Jack-o’-lanterns are stacked on crates from “Hartrich Farms.”
There’s a pair outside Town Square Theater.
Across town square, another pair of jack-o’-lanterns is outside City Hall.
And two stacks of jack-o’-lanterns from Main Street, U.S.A. from the center of Town Square.
This is a perfect photo op for fall.

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.” They debuted the looks at Disneyland Resort and on Disney Cruise Line last year.
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. The show is performed a few times each night.
Jack Skellington of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” hosts Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, a nighttime spectacular including fireworks and castle projections. “Happily Ever After” will not be performed on days when Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party takes place.
The event also includes special food and beverage items.
