Credit: Inside the MagicDisney Springs is about to look a little spookier this fall, and fans of Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar will have plenty to celebrate. Known for its adventurous Indiana Jones-inspired theme and quirky pilot backstory, this riverside bar is now preparing for its very first Halloween makeover. Disney has already teased the upcoming seasonal transformation, and from what we’ve seen so far, it’s shaping up to be a must-visit spot for spooky cocktails, fun décor, and a festive vibe that fits perfectly with the season.
A First for the Hangar Bar
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is no stranger to seasonal overlays. For years, it’s been home to the beloved “Holiday Bar” during the winter months. Fans love the way Disney leans into the holiday spirit with themed decorations, creative food, and drinks that add an extra layer of magic to the already unique atmosphere. This year, the bar is doing something it’s never done before—embracing Halloween with an overlay that’s set to debut on August 19, 2025.
Disney’s social media tease—a glimpse of carved pumpkins outside the bar—was enough to send fans into a frenzy. If the holiday version is anything to go by, the Halloween version will likely feature its own menu of limited-time treats and drinks, along with some eerie décor that brings out the playful, spooky side of the venue.
Why Disney Springs is Embracing Seasonal Fun
The Halloween overlay for Jock Lindsey’s isn’t happening in isolation. Disney Springs has been steadily adding more seasonal entertainment and décor in recent years, giving guests new reasons to visit outside the theme parks. Between live music, themed snacks, and photo-worthy decorations, Disney Springs has positioned itself as more than just a shopping and dining hub—it’s a seasonal celebration in its own right.
This move also pairs perfectly with other Halloween offerings around Walt Disney World, such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom. Guests who already have plans to attend the party can extend their spooky fun with a stop at Jock Lindsey’s before or after their park day.
What We Know So Far
While Disney hasn’t released the full lineup of Halloween food and drink offerings yet, fans are expecting plenty of creative options. The holiday version of the bar is known for its seasonal cocktails served in quirky glasses, themed bites with fun names, and over-the-top presentations. It’s safe to assume the Halloween edition will bring a similar level of creativity. Think pumpkin-flavored sips, eerie glow-in-the-dark drinks, and sharable appetizers perfect for groups.
The décor will also play a big role. Expect cobwebs, spooky lighting, and props that give the hangar a haunted adventure feel. Jock Lindsey’s adventurous backstory leaves plenty of room for creative Halloween storytelling, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see a few Easter eggs or nods to the Indiana Jones films as part of the décor.
Connecting the Experience with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Speaking of Halloween, Magic Kingdom’s iconic Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is returning for 2025 on select nights from August 15 through October 31. The event is packed with special entertainment, including the “Boo-To-You” parade, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular stage show, and Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks. Trick-or-treating stations throughout the park and character meet-and-greets with Mickey and friends in costume make it a hit for families.
With Jock Lindsey’s Halloween overlay launching just days after the first party date, visitors can make an entire evening out of the experience. Imagine starting your night at Disney Springs with a spooky cocktail, then heading to Magic Kingdom for the parade and fireworks—it’s the ultimate Halloween Disney combo.
Why Fans Are Excited
Fans have been asking for more Halloween magic at Disney Springs, and this new overlay is a step in that direction. It adds variety for guests who want Halloween fun without always paying for a separate ticketed event. Plus, it’s an easy win for locals and passholders who love checking out the seasonal updates.
Some fans on social media are already sharing their wish lists for what they hope to see at the bar this year. Ideas range from a haunted-airfield theme with glowing lanterns to a full-on “adventure gone wrong” storyline. Disney hasn’t confirmed any of these ideas, but the level of excitement is a clear sign that the overlay will be a popular addition.
Looking Ahead
As Halloween season approaches, we can expect Disney to reveal more details about the food, drinks, and entertainment planned for Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar. Historically, Disney has rolled out sneak peeks of holiday menus and décor closer to the official launch date.
The debut of the overlay on August 19 means guests visiting toward the end of summer will get an early taste of Halloween magic, which is perfect for anyone who can’t wait for pumpkin spice season.
Final Thoughts
With Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party setting the tone at Magic Kingdom and seasonal décor popping up across Disney Springs, this Halloween is shaping up to be one of the most festive yet. Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is a fan-favorite spot already, but this new overlay could elevate it to “must-do” status for the season. Whether you’re grabbing a spooky cocktail, posing for photos with the new décor, or just soaking up the Halloween vibes, this is one 2025 update that feels like a home run.
