It is not only #Movie Night Friday but also the 1st of October, which means we are kicking off the spooky season. It also happens to be Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary.
Today we are celebrating with a Hocus Pocus Movie night. We love spooky season and this is one our must watches. It is set in Salem, Massachusetts, which is one of my favorite places to visit. We are even trying to go this October if possible. It is last minute, so who knows if it will happen.
Salem is full of history, mostly dark.
I even found a video so you can get a little bit of the feel in Salem. It is honestly so much better if you go in person.
They even have a ghost tour, which was honestly so much fun to do in person. We learned so much but since we aren’t physically there, here is the ghost tour video you can watch and have fun.
