The parade is held twice a night and lasts about 20 minutes. During the parade you can expect to see:

Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular Fireworks

Disney always has a stunning fireworks display, no matter what the occasion and the Halloween fireworks show is no different featuring state-of-the-art projection effects, lasers, and lots of dazzling fireworks to go with them.

This year, Jack Skellington has a not so scary tale to tell proving that anything can happen at Halloween. During the fireworks, Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Goofy are spirited away to a mysterious haunted house where they will encounter dancing skeletons, ghosts, and a few Disney villains.

Your frightfully delicious feast in the restaurant will include savory dishes and sweet treats in a buffet style. Enjoy hors d’oeuvres like international and domestic cheeses and assorted canapes. Savory samplers with a taste from the Witches Cauldron—a kettle of gooey and creamy spinach dip with ciabatta crostini, assorted Halloween flatbreads and more!
