Jock Lindsey’s Halloween Hangar Bar: A Frightful First Look

(with contributions by Ashley Lynn!)

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs just got a fun and frightful makeover with ghostly new Halloween decor plus eerie eats and sinister sips. For those of you not familiar, a rustic, industrial atmosphere awaits all those who wander into Jock Lindsey’s eatery. Jock Lindsey’s hosts a bustling ambiance unlike any other, with wood floors and a vaulted wood ceiling, paired with exposed lighting fixtures and a lively collection of cannons, vintage maps, and other action-packed artifacts. During the Christmas season, the rural lounge transforms into a dazzling celebration as Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar switches to Jock Lindsey’s Holiday Bar. Frost-covered wreaths and twinkling garland adorn the space, while oversized ornaments and cheerful red bows dot the walls and hang from the ceiling, evoking a wonderful air of magic and holiday cheer. But before we get decked out with Christmas cheer, another not-so-scary holiday season awaits. For the first time ever, now through November 4, Jock Lindsey’s is the perfect place for to gather for those spooky Halloween vibes.

Disney just shared a sneak peek at the haunted happenings and delightfully ghoulish goodies that await. Let’s see what frights await!

Not to be confused with the holly jolly Christmas festivities during Holiday Hangar Bar you will be immersed in an all-new boo-tiful transformation.

Pumpkin scarecrows meet you at the front entrance. Can you spy one in particular who flies an airplane? He’s mimicking the spirit of Jock Lindsey, but with a chilling twist.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar transforms into a warm and inviting retreat during Halloween, blending the cozy glow of vintage lanterns with playful touches that feel more charming than chilling.

The atmosphere feels like stepping into a nostalgic Halloween party from decades past, where stories are shared over themed cocktails and every corner offers a little discovery.

For those with the tricky luck of dining in the diving bell, you’ve got company. A patch of Jack-O’-lanterns has taken up residence above your head, ready to flicker through the night.

In the far corner of the bar, look for a card stock band of vintage Beistle-style black cat decorations watching over the room like little sentinels of Halloween past. Their mischievous eyes watch as you sip on your chosen concoction, seemingly plotting their next Halloween croon.

All the Halloween decor has been added to Jock’s ever-growing collection of memorabilia from his rollicking pilot adventures. Perched high above and to the right of the bar, look for the “Bigelow’s Air Circus” banner with faded lettering and weathered canvas.

Bigelow’s Air Circus is a reference to the 1991 Disney film The Rocketeer, and you may even see another reference to the film on a ‘South Seas Club’ coaster during your visit.

Jock’s pet boa constrictor must be on the move, because, once again, Reggie’s cage is empty. When he returns, he’ll need to slink past a set of retro blow molds with expressive faces dancing with light.

Festive tinsel garland, popularized in the 1940s, zigzags in front of Jock’s treasures, including a banner for his win in the National Air Races.

The kitschy 1940s Halloween décor is the backdrop for nine new and exclusive sips and nibbles on the devilishly delicious Halloween Hangar Bar menu.

Who is Jock Lindsey?

Jock is Indiana Jones’ barnstorming pilot who stumbled upon Disney Springs in 1938 while chasing down a mythology-based tip in Central Florida. His attraction to the town’s natural springs landed him here where he bought waterfront property and settled down. He then built an airplane hangar as his home base and thus Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar was born. The bar is packed with artifacts and references that tie into both Indiana Jones stories and the larger Society of Explorers and Adventurers (S.E.A.) universe, suggesting that Jock was either a member or closely connected to the society. His hangar became a meeting place for adventurers, blending the world of Indiana Jones with Disney’s rich mythology of exploration and global mystery. Keep the celebration going during Halloween at Disney Springs, whether you’re browsing shops with super hero costumes, enjoying live music with a seasonal twist, or sampling other Halloween-inspired menus. The Halloween Hangar Bar is just the beginning of a night full of tricks, treats, and unexpected surprises.
