Disney has sent a clear message to Halloween fans: the Sanderson Sisters aren’t done yet. Thanks to a newly posted audition listing, we now know that Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular is officially returning to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2025.
This news has set social media abuzz with excitement, as many fans were hoping the beloved stage show would return for another season. Now, with Disney actively casting for both singers and dancers, the show’s return is not only confirmed—it’s in motion.
The show stars Winifred, Mary, and Sarah Sanderson from the movie Hocus Pocus as they attempt to whip up a powerful spell with the help of famous Disney villains. The show features a mix of musical numbers, villain appearances, and dazzling effects. Performed on the Cinderella Castle Forecourt Stage, it’s easily one of the most talked-about elements of the Halloween party.
According to the casting breakdown, Disney is looking for vocalists with strong singing ability, the ability to harmonize, and plenty of stage presence. Each of the Sanderson Sisters has a distinct persona. Winifred is dramatic and domineering, Mary is sweet and goofy, and Sarah is playful and seductive with a voice that lures in children. All three must have great chemistry and comic timing.
The audition for dancers asks for professionals skilled in jazz and other styles like Fosse and hip hop. These performers will not only dance but also act and interact with the main characters. It’s a fast-paced, high-energy production, and Disney is clearly going all in again this year.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs from August through Halloween and includes rare character sightings, trick-or-treat trails, themed fireworks, and that unforgettable Boo-to-You Parade. But for many guests, it’s the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular that ties the whole night together.
While the full schedule for 2025 hasn’t been released yet, rehearsals are set to begin in mid-July, which lines up with the party’s typical late-summer kickoff. The show has consistently drawn huge crowds, often with guests lining up well in advance for each performance. The hype is real, and Disney knows it.
Fans of the show have been quick to express their joy online, with many calling it the best part of the Halloween party. It’s become a tradition that rivals the parade and fireworks, and it’s easy to see why. The music, visuals, and villainy all blend into a perfect storm of Halloween magic.
So if you’re planning to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in 2025, go ahead and get excited. The Sanderson Sisters will be waiting for you at the castle, ready to put on a show that’s equal parts spooky and spectacular.
