Wanted to share some very exciting tweets from InsideDLParis about Halloween 2012:

QuoteLet's start off on Town Square, where Duffy the Disney Bear will return to his very own Boardinghouse dressed up for the occasion.
QuoteOn the other side of the street, next to Kitty Hawk Bicycle Shop, Goofy will invite guests to his new 'Candy Factory' Photolocaton.
QuoteLeaded by Maleficent, the Disney Villains: Dr. Facilier, Jafar, Captain Hook, Queen of Hearts and Cruella , will take over Castle Courtyard.
QuoteJack and Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas, return near Phantom Manor. This year you might even spot their little ghost dog, Zero!
QuoteOn the Royal Castle Stage, Mickey and his pals will be back, in his hugely popular show: 'Mickey's Halloween Treat in the Street Party'
QuoteAfter taking the risk of not decorating last year, the biggest surprise of this year is a complete new make over of Disneyland Park!
QuoteGold will go perfectly with Orange, as Main Street U.S.A. colides the 20th Anniversary overlay with all new Halloween Decorations!
QuoteDid I tell you that all decorations will be completely new!? A beautiful combination, inspired by decorations from California and Tokyo.
QuoteFor example, an idea from Tokyo: No 'Pumpkinmen', but the 'Ghosts' of former residents will be taking over Main Street incl. the Station!
QuoteWhilst huge 'Disney Character' shaped Pumkins (like the ones at the entrance of Disneyland Park in California) will take over Central Plaza!
QuoteIn Frontierland, the area around Lucky Nugget Saloon will celebrate a traditional Harvest Festival with plenty of Pumkins and Sunflowers!

Wow! That sounds great! I loved the decorations at Anaheim so much and was always thinking "Why is that not at paris". It looked so tasteful and never dull.

Also nice to see the Castle Stage again in action. The "ghosts" of former residents sounds interesting. Don´t know about that. Have someone pictures of the tokyo ghosts? Or are they like the Hong Kong ghosts?

The "Harvest Festival" sounds also very california.

I just hope that they hold more generell halloween entertainment for us then anaheim.
Wer nämlich mit "H" schreibt ist dämlich.

It sounds sooo amazing compared to last year - yes the main show in the plaza was pretty awesome, but the lack of decorations was a bummer.

I love how they are giving goofy his own meet and greet area. =D

I really hope to go back again, maybe for a day. I would love to see all the decor.
But honestly, we thought the decore for the 20th on Main-street was going to be elaborate, not just gold banners.

But heres hoping.  :thumbs:

Have booked for the Hallowe'en Festival this year but very disappointed to find that there are no Not So Scary Hallowe'en parties on any of the Friday nights in October.

When we were there in Oct 2010 the decoration of the park was fantastic but the best part was the late Friday opening .

I had never heard of Tokyo have Main Street USA ghosts either, and couldn't find any pictures of them. The photo I included on the montage is from Hong Kong's Hallowe'en, as I believe they had an event similar. Or perhaps InsideDLParis meant Hong Kong when he said Tokyo in his tweets.

I think the ghosts may be these ones from Tokyo;


Photo from Theme Park Review

I quite like them personally, they have character to them and look less "in house" than the Pumpkinmen.

I think you're right, Scissorboi, especially when it says "taking over the station."

Are they the ghosts from the Mickey Mouse cartoon "Lonesome Ghosts" ?

Although they're not identical (they're green and have bigger noses!) at the very least I think they're based on those characters! It's certainly nice to have a character who is intertwined with Mickey's past!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow,... You're always a day closer to my next Disney trip!
