Halloween Time Returns Sept. 17 as Mickey and Pals and Disney Villains Transform Disneyland Resort for the Season
Guests Enjoy Thrills of Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, Haunted Mansion Holiday
Mickeys Halloween Party Moves to Disneyland Park and Spectacular World of Color Show Performs Nightly at Disney California Adventure
ANAHEIM, Calif. (Aug. 19, 2010) Disney villains will invade Disneyland park along with Mickey Mouse and his friends in Halloween costumes when Halloween Time returns to Disneyland Resort Sept. 17 through Oct. 31. Highlights of the Disneyland Halloween season include the return of Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy the thrillingly haunted version of the popular Tomorrowland attraction and the longtime favorite Haunted Mansion Holiday, in which Halloween and Christmas collide for an attraction inspired by Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas. Guests also will enjoy the new, nighttime water spectacular World of Color, performing nightly at Disney California Adventure park.
Halloween Time offers families a chance to enjoy seasonal attractions and décor, as well as interact with beloved Disney characters decked out in whimsical Halloween costumes. Guests also will experience spooky fun with Disneys more sinister characters, the Disney Villains. In addition, the private-party celebration that has been so popular with guests will return for 10 special nights in October as Mickeys Halloween Party.
Moving to Disneyland this year with a new name, Mickeys Halloween Party is the separate-ticket event that invites adults and children to dress up in costume and trick-or-treat at the resort. This nighttime celebration is scheduled for Tuesdays and Fridays in October (1, 5, 8, 12, 15, 19, 22, 26 and 29) plus Halloween night itself, Sunday, Oct. 31. Highlights include:
Trick or Treating in the ultimate Disney neighborhood, with even more treats along Mickeys Hide-and-Go-Treat Trails
New dance parties at Tomorrowland Terrace and the French Market
The Halloween Screams fireworks spectacular, hosted by Master of Scare-omonies Jack Skellington (presented exclusively for guests of Mickeys Halloween Party)
New surprises in Mickeys Costume Party cavalcade, performed twice nightly
Character photo locations featuring Mickey and his pals, princesses and other favorites
The opportunity to arrive three hours before the party starts to play in Disneyland
Nearly all the favorite Disneyland rides and attractions
Tickets purchased in advance for Mickeys Halloween Party are $49 most days, while tickets purchased on the event days are $54. For Oct. 31, all tickets to Mickeys Halloween Party are $59.
Favorite Disney characters, including Mickey himself, will dress up in their favorite costumes. Its the ideal environment to have fun, eat special holiday treats, play interactive games, listen to spirited music and watch a nightly character cavalcade that celebrates the season.
For Halloween fun at Disneyland, guests will enjoy Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland. The experience begins as a typical Space Mountain adventure, but suddenly launches voyagers into a haunted section of the universe. Ghosts appear out of the starry darkness and swirling galaxies of Space Mountain, reaching out as if to grab guests as they speed through space. The exhilarating drops and curves of the journey are punctuated by piercing screams, creepy sound effects and haunting music.
Jack Skellington also returns to take over the Haunted Mansion and bring back Haunted Mansion Holiday to New Orleans Square in Disneyland. Transformed to a mix of Halloween spookiness and Christmas tradition, Haunted Mansion Holiday is inspired by the classic animated film Tim Burtons Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack and his friends provide plenty of havoc and surprises as they celebrate the holidays in their unusual style. Jacks return to the Haunted Mansion includes the traditional Halloween/Christmas gingerbread house in the Mansion Ballroom, with some special spooky surprises in this years design.
Halloween Time offers frightfully delightful fun for children and adults.
For spine-tingling fun, drop in at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney California Adventure park, where a supernatural event happened on Halloween evening, 1939, forever haunting the building.
Main Street, U.S.A. in Disneyland is transformed for the Pumpkin Festival. More than 300 pumpkins will be on display in shop windows and none of them are the same!
Visitors to Big Thunder Ranch in Frontierland will find ranch animals, pumpkin carvers, Halloween décor and activities for youngsters, all presided over by Sheriff Woody.
Meeting Disney characters will be easier than ever as Disney villains gather to plot Halloween mischief at its a small world Mall in Disneyland, while other characters in spooky attire greet guests in Town Square, Main Street, U.S.A.
Rancho del Zocalo in Frontierland will honor Dia de los Muertos/Day of the Dead with traditional skeleton figures on display Sept. 19 through Nov. 2.
Special Halloween treats will be available in Disneyland, including menu items such as Zeros Ghostly Ghoulash, served in a dog dish in honor of Zero.
Halloween Time gifts are offered in Disneyland Resort shops. Gifts include jack-o-lantern mouse ears and collectable pins depicting Mickey Mouse and his friends in Halloween costumes.
