Disney Parks resumed their annual Halfway to Halloween celebration this week, kicking off on Monday and set to culminate on Thursday with lots of new reveals, surprises, and announcements.

We’ve reached the halfway point to Halloween, and this year Disney is celebrating like never before with a series of wickedly wonderful surprises leading up to a full day of #HalfwayToHalloween fun and spellbinding Disney Parks announcements this Thursday, April 28.

According to the official press release, the first of a cauldron full of #HalfwaytoHalloween surprises will materialized this morning from the kitchens of Disney Parks, unearthing some dreadfully delicious Halloween-inspired eats and treats at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort (see them below).

And then, less than 24 hours later, they’ll be digging up another early must-see treat with a hauntingly helpful Halloween-themed At-Home Planning Guide.

On Wednesday, there’s more to come during a special @DisneyParks Twitter Watch Party featuring the Halloween classic Hocus Pocus on Disney+ (fingers crossed for a first look at Hocus Pocus 2). Bring your favorite snacks and join in live on Twitter on April 27 beginning at 8:00 p.m. ET/5:00 p.m. PT. They will also be sharing new Disney Halloween-inspired digital wallpaper art earlier in the day- created especially for the occasion.

During the big, daylong #HalfwaytoHalloween celebration on Thursday, it’s nothing but treats as they share several frightfully fantastic Disney Parks Halloween and other spooky announcements that you won’t want to miss. And Disney Parks will be your ghost host for a first-of-its-kind @DisneyParks TikTok Live beginning Thursday at 10:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. PT. It’ll be the first time they’re live from multiple Disney Parks locations, including Disney Cruise Line featuring some fa-boo-lous surprises. You can also expect some mummy-approved “shriek peek” surprises, a new Hocus Pocus Sanderson Sisters-inspired look for all of our Disney Parks channels, and much more.

During the #HalfwaytoHalloween celebration on Thursday, April 28, they’re inviting guests at Disney Parks to Disney bound in outfits inspired by their favorite Disney Halloween character, film, attraction, or theme – costumes are not allowed and please follow the attire guidelines at each Disney resort location.* Disney bounding is all about creativity and can include accessories, color schemes, patterns that highlight your Disney Halloween favorites.

Keep watching Halloween Daily News throughout the week to stay updated on all of the eerily awesome Halloween-related announcements, experiences, and updates from Disney Parks. Happy #HalfwayToHalloween!
