The Sanderson Sisters are heading back to Magic Kingdom, and Walt Disney World has now confirmed when you can catch them this year. Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular plays only during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, so the showtimes are worth noting as you map out your evening. Here is a look at the schedule, the story behind the show, and how it fits into the rest of the party lineup.
Confirmed Showtimes for Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular will run at 9:05 p.m., 10:35 p.m., and midnight during every party date. That gives you three chances to see it across the night, which helps if you want to build your schedule around the parade or fireworks first.
These match the showtimes from the 2025 party, so returning guests can plan much like they did last year. Having three set performances also means you can pick a slot that lines up with lighter crowds or a break between other activities.
A Likely Fourth Showtime Later in the Season
There is a good chance a fourth performance will join the lineup as the season goes on. An earlier 7:35 p.m. showtime is expected to be added for party dates after September 27.
For now, that earlier time has not been posted. The Walt Disney World entertainment calendar does not yet show times past September 27, so the 7:35 p.m. slot remains unconfirmed. If you are attending a later date, it is worth checking the calendar again closer to your visit to see whether the extra show has been added.
What the Show Is About
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular puts the Sanderson Sisters at center stage as they work to brew a party potion. Winifred, Mary, and Sarah are not alone in the effort, and that is where the show pulls in a wider cast.
Several Disney Villains join the sisters during the performance, including Dr. Facilier, Oogie Boogie, and Maleficent. The result is a stage show built around some of Disney’s more theatrical antagonists, staged near Cinderella Castle for the party crowd.
How It Fits Into the Rest of the Party
The Spelltacular is one piece of a larger entertainment slate at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. The event runs on select dates from August 7 through October 31, 2026, so there is a wide window to choose from.
Mickey’s “Boo-to-You” Halloween Parade
Alongside the stage show, the party features Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade and Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks. With three anchor offerings spread across the night, you can plan a route that lets you fit in the parade, the fireworks, and at least one performance of the Spelltacular without much overlap.
Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular
This night-time spectacular fireworks show will feature some of your favorite characters, including some from the casts of Nightmare Before Christmas, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast.
Final Thoughts
With showtimes set at 9:05 p.m., 10:35 p.m., and midnight, planning around Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular is straightforward for the 2026 party season. Keep an eye on the calendar for the possible 7:35 p.m. addition after September 27 if you are visiting later in the run.
Between the Sanderson Sisters, the Boo-to-You parade, and the Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks, the party gives you plenty to work into a single Halloween night at Magic Kingdom.
