No more pink witches!?! But they were so fun last year.

I'm glad the pumpkin men are back again, they were awesome. Do you think the Disney villain's Halloween show time will be like last years show or do you think they will change it slightly? I really enjoyed that show last year and its probably one of my favorite shows that I've seen at the resort.

Well the show will slightly change as their will be no more pink witches in it.  I also heard that 2 other villains might be added.

I'm going to have a wild stab in the dark and predict Queen Narissa from Enchanted!

Or Will there be some one more Classic? As I'm trying to think of the ones already in-place and am getting nowhere very fast!

Sounds like a promising line up now that the Pink Witches have been given the boot. Halloween should always be about the Disney characters, I'm just happy to see that Management is finally starting to wake up to this fact. While the pumpkin men remain I can only hope in future years some of the decorations involving these characters gets pushed back a bit.

By the way thanks raptor1982 for confirming what I have already been hearing.

I'm now a little disappointed as my plans to go for my 21st may be put on hold as I've just been give a place on a differing university course at a University closer to home and as I'll be studing Primary Education (BA/Ed with QTS) I'm not wanting to risk missing lectures... Unless I can convince myself (and wendybird1 and her mum) its totally worth it...

I think I may start to cry... :cry: As I want to see the villains!! Seeing the Heroes is nice and traditional but villains are something extra special and for me Captain Hook doesn't cut it anymore!

Got an Idea for another Villain... Didn't think of it until now... I've suggested Queen Narrissa as Snow-White-Girl has commented on... But Maybe Considering the Toy Story Section of the Parade (Friendship) Maybe Emperor Zurg?

Well that's a kick in my fortune telling pants!

I did say it would have been someone more classic than Narrisa though!

Shan-Yu could be pretty creepy to look at... yet...Ratcliffe... I'm not to sure about!

You can see a half-complete guide to last year's festival here (//http://dlrpmagic.com/guides/seasons/halloween/2007/) with quite a few pictures of how things were in 2007.

Things are really looking up this year. Dumping the Pink Witches and making the whole thing a lot more focused on Pumpkinmen and Disney VIPs is great. Also glad to see the lack of Stitch in all these plans for the second year running.

The Character Express will also be kitted out for the season too! :mrgreen:

Yes, Jack & Sally at Boot Hill and their participation in the pre-parade are true.

Also, the Pink Witches are replaced in the Disney Villains' show by the Pumpkin Girls and Men.  You'll also notice that Stitch no longer plays host to the season like last year...  :wink:

Halloween seems to get better! Actually, I'm very glad they got rid of the Pink Witches (especially their horrible statue's in Frontierland which made the entire park to shame) and Stitch (to me he was just a way to sell the event and merchandising). With the addition of Jack Skellington and Sally, more Disney Villains and Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party things really start to look up. Hopefully EuroDisney will be able to build a true Halloween parade one day, similar to the one at Hong Kong Disneyland last year.

Are they planning to add new Halloween decorations too? I would really like to see a pumpkin Mickey like at Anaheim or Hong Kong. Or pumpkinmen statue's on Town Square dressed like habitants from Main Street like at Orlando. Even some Nightmare Before Christmas like touches at Boot Hill would be great.

Is there any news on a possible Halloween event at Walt Disney Studios? I mean, Tower of Terror just screams for its own entertainment! Its just too perfect; a Disney like Halloween event at Disneyland Park and a more adult oriented Halloween event at Walt Disney Studios.
Title: Re: Halloween Season 2008
Post by: Kristof on July 10, 2008, 11:13:57 PM
Yes there will be new decorations.  I heard they will be Disney-fied (like in Anaheim).

QuoteOr pumpkinmen statue's on Town Square dressed like habitants from Main Street like at Orlando.

The Pumpkin Citizens from the previous years will play a more prominent role this year in Main Street.

I doubt there will be a adult-oriented even at WDSP.  The only "adult" oriented event is the Halloween Soiree at DLP.  There's been rumors of adult-oriented events in both California and Florida, but nothing so far, or at least until they build "Nightmare Before Christmas" attractions at DCA and DHS...

Well, Nightmare Before Christmas isn't that adult-oriented in my books. I was actually thinking about streetmosphere around the Tower of Terror, just like in DCA. Or meeting several villains (from Darth Vader, Dracula and the White Witch to Cruella DeVil). They could even opt to introduce a similar exhibit to "Vilains: Movie Characters You Love to Hate" at the American Film Institute at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the moment.

You know, a Halloween event with just a slightly darker feel to it compared to the pumkinmen at Disneyland Park.  :)

In "Disneyspeak", the "adult" codeword from what I know is "darker".  And TNBC is considered "darker" in tone.

Quote from: "AmericanMouse"In "Disneyspeak", the "adult" codeword from what I know is "darker".  And TNBC is considered "darker" in tone.

Like I explained in my previous post there are many ways to create a more adult/darker Halloween for Walt Disney Studios without even touching the Nightmare Before Christmas properties. Besides, compared to the Halloween offerings at the former Warner Bros. Movie World Germany, Walibi World or Universal Orlando, the Nightmare Before Christmas can't be called very dark in tone, can it? Its still a Disney film after all.

Like I said, I was thinking of streetmosphere around the Tower of Terror, an exhibit about movie villains through history, and meet n' greets with characters that fit WDS better then DLP (White Witch etc.). And maybe a few decorations throughout the park. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't think Nightmare Before Christmas is required to make a darker toned Halloween at WDS work.

Hi,

I have to say i know already of you are glad to get rid of stitch for halloween but i am disappointed because I love stitch but I can understand why you are glad he's not headling this year.
Radcliffe isn't exactly a new add to the parks, he's been on the character express a few times and I met him at the start of july in cafe mickey..here's a pic..

(//http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a277/aveen4eva/mewithradclifffromPocahontas.jpg?t=1216756523)

I was hoping when you said they were new that they were completely new and not just new to the disney villians showtime.

I am sure halloween will still be fantastic though, as is everything disney!:)

But the pink witches are surely better than the pumpkin man !

Oh really. i was thinking i saw for long time a video of an halloween parade in DLR, hmm strange okay so let out DLR but the other parks have one  :P

Yeah i think this year would be the best halloween in DLRP, i never said it wouldn´t but
a special parade would make it even more better..
Don´t wanna see a new layover for the OUADP...
wen don´t need a big parade but i think they have enough old floats to change 3 or 4 of them just for a little nice halloween parade.

But after all, i can´t wait to see first photos, and videos and to read the trip reports  :)

And the scary part?  Great minds are thinking alike! Also, DLR does not have a Halloween Parade as a stand-alone event.  they have a seperate admission event called "Mickey's Trick-or-Treat Party" every October for selected dates, which has a cavalcade within.  And because of the 25th Anniversary Jubilation Parade, TDL won't have a Halloween themed event this year.

Update for the Halloween Pre Parade....

So far as we know, the pre parade will be lead by Jack Skellington and Sally in the little float used by Lilo last year. Following that are a group of 13 Pumpkin dancers. As you can see from the website, Disneyland Paris will be using the whole pumpkin 'family' for the season much like the Halloween Cavalcade 2006. So we have, Boy Pumpkin, Girl Pumpkin, Doctor Pumpkin, Suffragette Pumpkin and Mr Pumpkin. After that there will be the old Snow White float that was used last year for the pre parade this time, instead of having Daisy, Lilo and Clarice on it, it will feature Disney Villains from the show - Jafar, Cruella, Gaston, Shang Yu and Ratcliffe. No Captain Hook or Maleficent as they are both in DOUD. Finally another group of 13 Pumpkin dancers will make the tail end of the pre parade.

The music is a mix of the Halloween Cavalcade 2006, featuring just 'This Is Halloween' - from Nightmare Before Christmas and 'Grim Grinning Ghosts'.

There WILL be a show stop (yay) at Central Plaza I think. Music for that is a strange techno remix of classic Villain songs.

As for the show....hmmm, nothing new really besides Ratcliffe and Shang Yu, oh and no Stitch.

I've never been to DLRP when theres been a pre-parade of any description.
If the pre-parade is supposed to be 20 minutes before the OUAD parade, does that mean theres a break between the pre-parade and the OUAD parade?

Thanks for any advice on this,

Elaine

I'm going for Halloween this year and have booked the party in the evening. I'm so excited as it's my first time going for the Halloween season so it's all going to be new to me. I'm designing my outfit at the moment and although my partner had reservations about dressing up even he's excited now, although most of the costumes I've seen for men are way too much for Disney, don't think the kids would like Freddy Kruger, or Texas Chainsaw outfits!

Hi all

Just out of interest, if guest with tickets for the 31st party can access the park from 5.30pm but the park is open to regular park guests until 8pm what is to stop people from just staying in the park and not paying the £20 for the Party ticket.

I heard something about wrist bands for accessing ride Q's but you could still hang around the park and watch the fireworks and entertainment????

I Know in Florida the MK typically closes at 6 to park  guest and they more or less totally empty the park before the party.

Any one any ideas?

I agree  they should done that although the Pumpkin people ar cool they are a bit 5 years out of date i would like more Pink witchs and Blue Wizards and Stitch would made Halloween  suesscful in both the park and the studios , then Stitch , Gaston and Hook would be Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios park.

I was at DLRP last year the week before the Halloween season started - it really was fun walking into the park each morning and spotting what had been added overnight  :D/ . By the time we left the pumpkin men were all over Main St and Frontierland, pumpkins giant and not-so-giant abounded, and the Ghosts and Halloween banners were up on the train station.

I'm soooooooo looking forward to being there for Halloween season proper this year!

Lol, ditto! We went in September last year and they had only put a couple of things up overnight while we were there and that made us decide we were going for this Halloween. It was going to be our last trip for a few years, but then again we say that almost every time!  :wink:

Some hallow decs are up in frontierland now! Woop! More to be added...well...LOADS MORE! But its begun, muwhahaha!

Even more exciting, guests of the Disneyland Hotel could take a sneak peek through their windows last night of the new PreParade as it was rehearsed for the first time in the park with all the cast.

Jack & Sally lead the parade on a horsedrawn cart followed by,
A unit of 13 pumpkins - with the ALL NEW 'Lady Pumpkin' character included, very pretty costume!
Next is the Villians float with Cruella, Gaston, Frollo, Ratcliffe and Shang Yu.
Another unit of 13 pumpkins and finally last years Lilo float which has been slightly revamped into a charriot for the new character 'The Pumpkin Queen'.

By the way the official story behind why the Pink Witches are gone is that, the Witches thought that the Pumpkin Men were lonely, so they transformed themselves into sexy Pumpkin Ladies for the Pumpkin men to play with   :wink:

Fantastic costumes, it's really great to see them at DLRP :) Although, Jack's face isn't perfect (it's meant to be a complete circle isn't it.), its meant to be able to allow him to talk though so it isn't all that bad. :wink:

The entertainment guide for this week has been published in the DLRP website (until 10/10), they have the times of the Halloween shows and characters meet 'n' greets!

Other than the expected things (Minnie & the Batboys, Goofy & the Magic Pot, etc) they mention something called the Splatchmobile, happening in Thunder Mesa.

Does anyone know what that is?? Haven't seen it mentioned anywhere!!

From the name, I'd guess some kind of mobile Pumpkin paint machine meet 'n' greet. It rolls into Thunder Mesa and you can meet the pumpkin men... perhaps. Just guessing. :)

On DLRP Today.com (//http://www.dlrptoday.com), a partner of magicforum, we're lucky enough to be able to present exclusive English versions of Jérémie Noyer's "Media Magic" interviews with the people who make the magic happen, behind the scenes at Disneyland Resort Paris.

Well, Disney's Halloween Festival began yesterday and right on-time, Jérémie shares his fascinating interview with Emmanual Lenormand, the director of the season! Learn about how the festival is crafted months in advance - not to mention a whole load of secrets and brand new information about the Not-So-Scary and Halloween Night parties!

Here it is:

(//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/images/2008/10/col_mediamagic-14-front.jpg) (//http://www.dlrpmagic.com/today/2008/10/05/media-magic-interview-with-emmanuel-lenormand-director-of-disneys-halloween-festival-2008/)

A few highlights:

QuoteAbout the introduction of Jack & Sally] Did you think about the Haunted Mansion Holiday – which is very successful in the US- when imagining that event?

It was mentioned, but it's no priority at the moment. Our idea is first and foremost to celebrate Halloween with artists and new characters for everybody to meet, and I think there are better things we can do than locating everything around Phantom Manor
QuoteThe idea is to make a single parade out of the pre-parade and Disney's Once Upon a Dream Parade.

We noticed that, in the past, guests had to wait a certain amount of time between the pre-parade and the parade. So, we sped things up. It was a huge work to create the new music mix, just as if we added a new unit to Disney's Once Upon A Dream Parade – a pretty orange one! There will be 25+ Pumpkins: Men, Ladies, kids, policemen – the whole village! Then, we created a float that perfectly fits the concept of Jack & Sally, very rural and pulled by dark horses.
QuoteDisney Villains' Halloween Showtime comes back this year, but with new surprises, I guess...

Shan-Yu for me is such an amazing character when you see him live. He was brilliantly treated in Mulan, the animated feature, and he's physically scary for our guest! In the show, he's fighting Radcliffe on the music of Pocahontas' Savages. Just for fun, of course!
Quote...along with the Crypt Quintet, which I had created last year, that is specialized in the music of The Nightmare Before Christmas. They'll play that repertoire nearby Jack & Sally at Boot Hill, during their meet 'n' greet!
QuoteThe concept of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Parties was created in America. How did you adapt it to Europe?

I decided that, during these parties, guests meet incredible and magical characters. In that vein, I created a brand-new show, Merlin and the Witch Academy, to be played at Castle Courtyard. There will also be a magic show at Fantasy Festival Stage, during which a magician will enter the Hundred-Acre Wood to do tricks. Winnie and his friends will all be there, along with the Queen of Hearts who will be strolling around Fantasyland with an armada of incredible, red, white and black toys and other fabulous characters like fire jugglers.

...

Even Le Château de la Belle au Bois Dormant will be re-decorated, with new signs and flags. The background music will be changed also, to bring a new feeling to Fantasyland. It'll be a "Happy, happy, happy, happy Halloween", with everybody clapping their hands!
Quote[About the 31st Party fireworks] It won't be just a fireworks display this year...

Actually, I call it "my 3D show" since there will be fireworks, performances and projections. Three kinds of show at the same time, and it will be called Mickey Presents: Halloween Magic in the Sky. And I'm especially proud to have Sorcerer Apprentice Mickey as our host that night! He'll get out his magic spellbook, from which all the spirits of Halloween will be raised.

Then begins a pyrotechnic medley with ghosts dancing on stage to that rhythm. Jack & Sally will be there, too! At the moment, we're working intensely on that! It's a "one-shot", you know! We only get once chance. I think it'll be a memorable night.
There's also a lot about the 'Terrorific Night' at the Studios, which sounds pretty special, and he mentions that they want to do even more after-hours parties in future!

If you guys can get across, please do.  In many respects I think this is the best Halloween ever.  Jack and Sally were really in character, the shows were great, the music, the face painting, the merchandise, the rockers and goths - awesome!!!!!  I don't want to go to work this morning!

We were really disappointed by that because the makeup and hair used to be free.

However, over by Woody's Roundup, there are face painters who will do a small skull and cross bones or a spider and web for free (I will post photos this weekend)

Halloween looks like a spooktacular time year for Dlrp. I've missed my chance this year but with videos/pictures and puppy dog eyes maybe mother will consider it for a short break next October  [-o<

The Halloween photos look great ! It really is my favourite time to visit DLRP  :)

However I did notice that there were wasn't the Pumpkin men decorations over to the
thunder mountain island. I haven't been for a few years at this time. Did they not use that last year ? It used to look great all the way over the lake.

Daniel, the music is from the "Happy Hallowishes" show at WDW's Magic Kingdom and is available in the Magic Kingdom Party Music CD available at the park.

Do you know how many tickets were available or to put it another way how many other people are going to be crammed in the park with us!

Is this official? We were going to buy tickets when we arrived on Thursday, and I imagine a lot of people wouldn't buy in advance (well, those who've never been on Halloween before, like myself). Is there no chance of extra tickets being made available?

Yes that is official. And no, there won't be new tickets since there's a limited capacity.

If we made the Halloween Soiree any Years before (2000 I mean), we book the tickets month ago before we drive to the Resort. All 3 Evenings was sold out, no tickets available in the Resort.

I wolud say, you must ALWAYS book this tickets before you go.

If I find time I will post my pictures from our Halloween Trip from 02.-05.10.08, it was so nice  :D/
