Yup. And since I haven't visited in a while, let me give you updates for the Disney Theme Parks outside of Paris.

  • Disneyland Resort: "Mickey's Trick or Treat Party" returns September 30 and selected dates until October 31st at Disneyland proper.  This will be the second year the event will be held at the "spookiest place on earth" thanks to the near completion of the Disney California Adventure makeover.
  • Walt Disney World: Newly reminted "Mickey's Halloween Party" (no more "Not-So-Scary", folks) returned for limited dates starting September 13, and will go through November 1st.
  • Hong Kong Disneyland: Revenge of the Headless Horseman - Morbid curiosity will bring Guests to this traveling show set up in the heart of Adventureland, but one can only hope they will all make it out with their heads intact. The con artist exhibitor claims to have the head of the Headless Horseman as the main exhibit, and the Headless Horseman himself has come to seek revenge.   Even on Main Street, U.S.A. Guests may not be safe from the Headless Horseman's wrath, as he rides down the street on his imposing horse.
     
    Adventureland Cursed Jungle - Black magic and ancient incantations have released nocturnal creatures and ghoulish souls in Adventureland. Guests will inevitably come face to face with the many new jungle inhabitants as they lie in wait around every cursed corner.

    Non-stop Street Performance at Tomorrowland – The party is on for Guests of all ages over at Tomorrowland – Party Zone, with its infectious energy and wide array of activities and entertainment. There will be special appearances of celebrity DJ's from the Commercial Radio who will interact with Guests on selected evenings with an array of fun-filled activities. Celebrated Japanese performance group "KAGEMU", consisting of dance choreographer "Katsumi SAKAKURA" and CR image video artist "Nobuyuki HANABUSA", will stage their famous 4D interactive performance "Black Sun" in Hong Kong for the first time, bringing together the perfect blend of dance, martial arts, music and projected images. More jaw-dropping street performance, such as "Black Brigade" and "Tomorrowland Street Jam" as well as "Art Live", a larger than life size painting demonstration which happens right before your eyes, will all be staged for Guests during the Disney's Haunted Halloween.
     
    Main Street, U.S.A. – Ghost Town will be  more "alive" than ever as the long forgotten ghostly town folk fill the walkways of Main Street, U.S.A., reminiscent of a forgotten era. This year, even more spirits and zombies have descended upon the town, haunting Guests as they emerge from nearly every doorway during the "Ghostly Gathering".
     
    The Return of the Classic Halloween Attractions - Be careful when you enter the Main Street U.S.A. Haunted Hotel, where the soul of Victoria Maxwell continues to roam.  Halloween attractions such as the "Glow in the Park Parade" and "Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy" will also return by popular demand.
     
    Trick or Treat Spooktacular in Fantasyland - Families and children can also share in the spooky fun in Fantasyland with the Trick or Treat Spooktacular.  Mickey, Duffy and the whole gang are waiting for you in their new Halloween costumes, ready for you to come Trick-or-Treating with delicious "Dole Real Fruit Bites" and Nestle "Crunch" Chocolate!
  • Tokyo Disneyland: A new parade, "Welcome to Spookyville", the return of the friendly ghosts, and for the first time,  all guests are encouraged to wear Disney-related costumes (except for certain characters) October 25-31 in TDL Park, the first period was September 4 through 10.

Hong Kong's sounds brilliant this year. It's wonderful to see what a young Disney resort can do with much more money at their disposal. I'd love to be there for their Halloween.

BTW, if you're looking for Pumpkin Men, the Glow-In-The-Dark Parade at HKDL is where they are located, right behind Jack.

And there has been a revap of the Villains Mix and Mingle at WDW.

The changes include a shortened version of "It's Halloween-O-Ween" that has been used before, Dr. Facilier as the host singing "Friends on the Other Side", and use of the 2009 Tokyo Disneyland Halloween Parade music as well as the medley of "Off With Their Heads/Thriller" from the cast of Glee.
