Halloween might still be months away, but Disney is already getting spooky—and fans are loving it. In some awesome news for Magic Kingdom regulars, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular is officially returning to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2025. The hint came from a new casting call posted by Disney, which basically confirms that the Sanderson Sisters are gearing up for another round of magical chaos.
For anyone unfamiliar, the Hocus Pocus stage show is a huge part of the party’s entertainment lineup. The story follows the iconic trio—Winifred, Mary, and Sarah Sanderson—as they return from the dead to throw the ultimate Halloween bash. With the help of Disney villains like Maleficent and Oogie Boogie, they work their dark magic on Cinderella Castle’s stage while the crowd goes absolutely wild.
According to the audition post, Disney is currently casting for vocalists to play the sisters, plus dancers to join the party. It’s clear they’re looking for top-tier talent with stage presence, strong vocals, and killer dance skills. And given how theatrical this show is, that totally tracks. The choreography, music, and effects make it a standout.
If you’ve been to the Halloween party before, you know how much people love this show. It’s not unusual to see people in full costume camped out in front of the castle an hour before showtime. It’s become one of those can’t-miss experiences, especially for Hocus Pocus fans.
Rehearsals are scheduled to start in July, so you can pretty much count on the party starting sometime in August. That’s when Magic Kingdom transforms into a Halloween lover’s dream. Between trick-or-treat stations, exclusive character meets, themed snacks, and entertainment like this show, the event is one of the biggest draws of the fall season.
And now that we know Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular is back, it’s time to start planning. If this is on your must-see list, keep an eye out for ticket release dates and be ready to jump on them—especially if you want to go in October. Those dates usually sell out fast.
Whether you’re attending for the first time or making it an annual tradition, there’s something extra magical about seeing the Sanderson Sisters come to life on stage. They’re hilarious, mischievous, and just spooky enough to make the show feel like Halloween without being too scary.
