Overview
- Disney quietly added Captain Jack Sparrow to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party entertainment listings late last week, showing him as part of the 2026 lineup.
- The new offering is called Spirited Swashbucklers and Disney’s listing says Jack has “dropped anchor to lead a swashbuckling series of pirate antics” in Adventureland.
- Disney has not released any operational details for Spirited Swashbucklers, leaving format, showtimes, location within Adventureland, and run length unspecified.
- The Rusty Cutlass pirate band is missing from current 2026 entertainment listings and the band’s status is unclear since it is a third-party act that could be announced separately.
- Party nights run on select dates Aug. 7 through Oct. 31, 2026, tickets are on sale, and guests will be watching for further Disney announcements that could reveal whether this is a seasonal add or the start of broader Adventureland changes.
