Laugh Floor attractions, the Disney
Junior Jam at Storybook Circus, costumed Disney characters, the headless horseman character ahead of “Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade” plus “Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular,” which includes fireworks, projections, music and special effects.
A 50th-anniversary photo op and commemorative print will be available for party guests.
