Walt Disney World guests can carry all their tricks and treats in a new Minnie Mouse Halloween Loungefly mini backpack. This backpack is also available on shopDisney and at Disneyland Resort. Halloween season doesn’t officially begin until Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party starts in a couple weeks, but the first 2023 Halloween merch arrived in the form of an orange T-shirt available in late June.
The new sparkling orange Halloween Loungefly mini backpack is available at Uptown Jewelers at Magic Kingdom.
2023 Halloween Loungefly Backpack – $88
The Halloween Loungefly backpack is made of a shiny orange plastic. Black sequins cover the front pocket and the Minnie ears and bow on top.
A black Disney Parks and Loungefly plaque is on the front, above the front pocket.
The zippers are golden.
Like most Loungefly mini backpacks, it has two side pockets.
Solid orange pleather makes up the tops of the straps. The adjustable sections are made of yellow fabric.
Solid orange pleather also lines the zippers and side pockets.
The interior lining is orange with an all-over pattern of Minnie heads.
Also check out the new glow-in-the-dark Halloween items, as well as treats, a reusable bag, and a light-up necklace.

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.
