Lore & Background
On Halloween night at the House of Mouse, Jafar plots a takeover with other villains, transforming the venue into the House of Villains. The non-villain characters are imprisoned in the kitchen, while the staff are thrown outside. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy attempt to reclaim the house but are blocked by Chernabog. Minnie tries to intervene but is captured by Captain Hook. Mickey, in his sorcerer's apprentice outfit, duels Jafar. Aladdin and the magic carpet escape the kitchen and provide Daisy with Aladdin's lamp, which is passed to Mickey. Mickey uses the lamp to suck Jafar inside, causing the other villains to flee. The House of Villains reverts to the House of Mouse, and Goofy, dressed as Jafar, wins the costume contest, frustrating Donald.
