Sorry if this has already been asked somewhere, but I was watching "The Phantom Wedding - Halloween Soiree 2004 from the video vault.

I found it really spectacular and very eerie, and was wondering if they are going to show it at this years Soiree or not.

Anyone  :?:

No they will not be showing it at this years soiree, that was only during 2004's soiree and will never be shown again.

It looks nice doesn't it.

No other theme parks do seasons like Disney.

Same old, same old. I really hope the next Halloween festival after the end of the 15th chucks out this circa-2003 tat and replaces it with something more like Disney's HalloweenTime at DLR.  I used to get annoyed in years gone by about everyone bashing DLRP's Halloween, it was great fun and very original when they started all this, but now, 4 years later... pfffff.

I love the Pumpkinmen and even the Pink Witches, but the complete disorder they have with the decorations is awful for a park with such high status as DLP. It's like they let a primary school class design props and then randomly dropped them off all over the park. There's no overall design or thought the way there is with Belle's Christmas Village, the Christmas decorations of Main Street, etc.

They need to take a step back and just refine the whole season, don't you think? The park has become like those awful houses you see covered in Christmas lights, the whole thing is out of control and with so little thought or love.

Hopefully the Disney Villains Halloween Showtime will be worthwhile though...

Dear god -- Is this a joke, or have they seriously put back up a sign which clearly says '2006' ??!

Have you seen the Halloween Parade in Hong Kong Disneyland? It sure looks fantastic      

//http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/

What I dont get, is how if the Hong Kong park is performing so poorly, they can afford this? They also have built a walk through haunted house. Addmittedly they dont have the haunted mansion/Phantom Mannor, but either way, being strapped for cash in Hong Kong, must be a little different to being strapped for cash in Paris! :wink:

Nice parade, thanks for the link! The chernabog float and fire dancers look eerily familiar though... :P

But yeah -- Hong Kong. I guess they don't have €2bn+ of debt to start with! I don't think HK are particularly strapped for cash though, are they? They're just not spending it on any new attractions (aside from IASW) for some reason. The parade looks amazing -- this kind of "spooky but fun" and very Disney theme is exactly what DLRP should use, not the "home-made from any old crap we found lying around" which the current decorations feel like.

Pumpkinmen and Witches... sure!! But they should always be live characters, the decorations should be... exactly that, decorations! No more horrible mannequin figures or pink witches statues stereotyping the nations of europe!! Use pumpkins, banners, cobwebs, autumn leaves, scarecrows for decorations, not plastic figures which look like they're from a cheap funfair.

I'm not annoyed DLRP has the same old decorations and style this year, I didn't expect any different, but hopefully once they lose the lifeline of the 15th they'll stand back and take a real look at what on earth they're trying to achieve with this season.

I hope that once the 15th birthday is over, they start to 'remake' their seasons! They will not build a new attraction for 4 years (right?) so they can spend some money on their halloween season and maybe the christmas season also?
