It’s the first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and while we’ve been looking forward to it all month long, now there’s something new that has us even MORE stoked!

You can meet popular characters like Jack Skellington and Sally at this event, as well as some of your favorite Disney Villains along trick or treat trails, but now there’s a NEW Villain at the party this year — Mother Gothel, and there’s ANOTHER surprise!
Mother Gothel is the Villain of the popular Disney film Tangled, and we love seeing any representation of her in the parks. Now, you can meet her at this year’s Halloween Party! So far, we’ve only seen her briefly on Main Street, U.S.A. as we were walking into the party, and she’s been pretty elusive since! Disney teased that she will make an appearance in the Mickey’s Boo to You Halloween Parade, so keep your eyes out.

Now, this isn’t the only Villain you can meet at the party. While Oogie Boogie Bash over at Disneyland Resort is more known for its Villains representation, Disney World has started to increase its villainous mischief as well! Walking into the party, you’ll spot Cruella de Vil welcoming you, and if you head into the trick-or-treat trail at Princess Fairytale Hall, you might be able to see Maleficent and The Evil Queen!

Head over to Storybook Circus, though, and you’ll find another new surprise waiting for you! There’s a new act called the Fearless Flyers ready to entertain you, and we promise you don’t want to miss them.

They are two acrobats doing some pretty cool tricks, so when you find yourself over in the area, don’t forget to stop for a second and cheer them on! We think kiddos will especially find this really cool, so we suggest making a stop with them for sure.
