Ghoulish Good Times​

Your nocturnal delight kicks off with an eerie greeting from your “Master of Scare-omonies” Jack Skellington and his ghostly dog Zero—spirits from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. As Jack and Zero fade into the night leaving you to enjoy what’s to come, settle in and embrace the jump-worthy collision of sights and sounds—soaring flames, projections of rising ghosts and classic Disney villains like Maleficent and Ursula the Sea Witch—all set to a medley of Halloween-inspired songs… one showstopper after another.

Finally, as you reach the grand finale, there’s no need to be shy. Feel free to sing—or scream―along! Plus, on select nights, you’ll also be able to watch sparkling fireworks possess the sky.

Question about Adults in Costume.
I am hoping to get tickets and I'd love to dress up along with my kids.
It says no dresses that reach the ground.
Would I be able to wear this?? I have no idea how to wear a dress as Drizella if it is short?? Plus I don't wear dresses so wouldn't want to wear a short one anyway.

Definitely! You would totally be able to wear this. I've worn a huge Cinderella ballgown on different OBBs/Mickey Halloween Party and had no problem at all.

phew, ok great. When it said no full length dresses I was a bit worried.
My kids have decided they both want to be the Mean Stepsisters and no one wants to be Cinderella LOL, so I'll be Lady Tremaine now.
