If you, like me, have been patiently awaiting Halloween [1] since, oh, about the start of June, now is the time to kick the countdown up a notch with ShopDisney's spooktacular Mickey and Minnie Mouse Halloween [2] Countdown Calendar. The festive calendar sets up a spellbinding scene in which Mickey and Minnie — dressed as enchanting witches — are poised to brew up a magical potion in front of a glittering candy corn haunted house. So, yes, I will be setting this up in my living room ASAP to remind me how much time I have left to come up with a cool Halloween [3] costume.
Available on ShopDisney, the Halloween figurine comes with four shimmering numbered blocks to help you count down to the spookiest day of the year (minus Friday the 13th, of course). The longer I stare at this mystifying "Days 'Til Halloween" countdown calendar, the more charming details I catch. Did anyone else notice that the cauldron is a callback to Mickey's Steamboat Willie days? Take a peek at the haunted candy corn castle from all angles and shop the calendar for yourself here.
