Why limit Halloween to just one day when you can celebrate all month long?

Disney is pumping up the spooky festivities with a six-week celebration of Disney Hallo’Moments, including a Halloween Dance Party with prizes!

To play along, families can dress up in costume as any Disney, Pixar, Marvel, or Star Wars character and make a video (of at least 30 seconds) dancing along to the “Halloween Dance Party” song. Then, post the dance video on Instagram between Sept. 19 and Oct. 18 using the hashtag #shopDisneyContest and follow @shopdisney for a chance to win one of four $1,000 gift cards for use at a Disney store or shopdisney.com.
