Jack Skellington to Debut New Look at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party This Year

What's This??

Those visiting Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party can meet and greet with Jack Skellington once again, but this year the favorite from The Nightmare Before Christmas is going to look a little different.

What’s Happening:

  • Walt Disney World has announced the return of the hugely popular Halloween event at Magic Kingdom, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, with the dates for this year’s event as well on sale ticket dates.
  • As of yet, Walt Disney World has not announced any new experiences for the event, just the return of favorites like the classic Mickey’s Boo-To-You Parade, and Not-So-Spooky Spectacular.
  • Another return: character greetings, including the popular meet and greet featuring Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Although this year, Jack looks decidedly different.

  • Along with the announcement earlier came this tease from above, which reveals a new look for Jack Skellington at his popular meet and greet at the Town Square Theater on Main Street USA.
  • In year’s past, Jack had a more exposed, make-up covered mouth, perfect for the interactive nature of the meet and greet so that he can talk with guests.
  • In the video above, we see mouth movement, but we are unclear at this time if the meet and greet this year will be a fully interactive one, as it has been in years past.

  • Either way, the new Jack Skellington seen above is closer to being “on-model" for the character we know and love from the classic stop-motion animated film.
