The Pumpkin King Returns (With a New Look) to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Disney has given us yet another reason to stand in line for two hours to meet Jack Skellington and Sally at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party this year. (As if you needed one!) The Pumpkin King himself took to Disney’s social media today to reveal a new look, and rest assured, he looks fabulous! After catching up on our party updates for 2025, I sat down and took a good look at the change, and WOW. I couldn’t help but put together a before and after look so you could see what to expect.

Here’s the video that Disney shared on their Instagram. Can you believe the difference?
