A few days ago, we covered the news that Disney was replacing the iconic Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party cast member costumes with something considerably more subdued. At that point, everything came from a costume reference sheet that had been posted to the Hub, Disney’s internal cast member site, and circulated online. We had a preview image, two labeled looks, and ...

Some Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party traditions do not announce when they change. You just show up and find out.
