Behind the Screams at Mickey's Boo-To-You Parade

Disney

One of my favorite parts of the Boo-To-you Parade at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is the Dead Waltzers. Modeled after the ballroom dancers in the Haunted Mansion, these spooks create quite a stir as they glide past. According to Choreographer Larry Kornfehl, becoming a Dead Waltzer is a highly coveted position that requires a lot of talent and a fair amount of imagination, too. Each couple must come up with a story for their characters, including how they met their tragic end.

After months of practice, the end result is amazing. Here's a video I took of the dancers earlier this month.

The ballroom dancers and the gravediggers from the Haunted Mansion are my favorite part of the Boo to You Parade. The parade was delayed several times last Friday, so I was glad I was able to see it. #Disney #DisneyWorld #MNSSHP #MNSSHP2017 #BooToYou #BallroomDancers #HauntedMansion #MickeysNotSoScaryHalloweenParty
