We’re about to approach April 1st — but this isn’t an April Fools’ joke. In fact, we’re celebrating Spring-o-ween! Good news, fellow spooky fans: we’re a little over four months away from the Halloween season kickoff at Magic Kingdom, AND one of our favorite elements of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) has recently been confirmed to return again this year!
The @OfficialDisneyAuditions Instagram account posted two casting notices for dancers and vocalists for the Hocus Pocus Villain Spell-tacular; the MNSSHP-exclusive castle stage show where the Sanderson Sisters attempt to concoct a potion with the help of some [notoriously] beloved Disney villains.
Hocus Pocus Casting Notice
Disney Live Entertainment is accepting online submissions from female presenting vocalists who are local to Central Florida for Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, performed at the Magic Kingdom® Park at the Walt Disney World® Resort near Orlando, FL.
The mischievous Sanderson Sisters from Disney’s “Hocus Pocus” return to the mortal world during the Halloween season. With only a few hours to run amuck, the three sisters use their magic to throw the best, most evil Halloween party this side of the graveyard!
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular will be presented exclusively during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Event held select nights at the Magic Kingdom® Park from August – October 2025. Rehearsals will begin in mid-July. Must have full availability August – October 31, 2025.
- Winifred Sanderson: Winifred Sanderson is the leader of the Sanderson sisters and the main antagonist. She is the eldest and the wickedest of the sisters, as well as the most intelligent. She is very sensitive to people calling her ugly and she is prone to being melodramatic.
- Mary Sanderson: Mary Sanderson, the middle sister, is often complimenting and comforting Winifred as she constantly seeks her approval. She has the ability to sniff out the presence of children and loves to eat. She is the most observant of the three and she sports a crooked mouth.
- Sarah Sanderson: Sarah Sanderson is the youngest and most beautiful Sanderson sister. She is not particularly intelligent and she is often prancing around and goofing off. She uses a siren-like ability to lure children through song. She loves to play with people and hates those who reject her.
Performers will bring to life the Characters from Disney’s “Hocus Pocus”. Candidates must sing well, including tight harmony, excellent comic timing, and high movement ability.
A second notice has also been posted:
ONLINE SUBMISSION: Dancers for Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular
Dancers with great jazz technique, who are proficient in multiple dance styles including commercial jazz, Fosse and hip hop. Good acting a plus; must be able to easily interact with Sanderson Sisters.
While the casting call notes the applicants must provide full availability from August through October, Disney World has yet to announce dates for 2025 Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party event nights.
