When the summer crowds disappeared and the fall air rolled into Walt Disney World, the Magic Kingdom once faced one of its quietest seasons of the year. But that all changed when Disney decided to bring Halloween to life in its own magical way.

In this episode of Main Street Stories with Eric, we dive into how a small after-hours experiment called Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party transformed into one of the most beloved traditions in Disney history. From the birth of Boo-to-You and HalloWishes to the global influence of Disney’s Halloween celebrations, this is the story of how imagination turned fright into delight and how Halloween truly saved the kingdom.

Make your own stories and I’ll see you on Main Street.
