Halloween Time Comes to Disneyland Paris
Photo and Video Report

Here’s our annual pictorial report on the Halloween celebration which started a few days ago at Disneyland Paris Resort with great pics and videos thanks to Max Fan, D&M contributor and DLPWelcome webmaster.
Also, I’m pleased to let you know that the special offer on the DLP book with author’s signature is extended while supplies. We still have a few copies in both English or French. Ordering information is at the end of this article.
Let’s start by the Maleficent Disney Villains Halloween Promenade with a great float and villains characters. This short street animation welcomes visitors with the Disney villains. And the best way to be greeted is by a float worthy of its name, “Dream of Power”. Ursula is moving her head and arms as well as the devil of Night on the Bald Mountain. Visitors are mesmerized by Maleficent in her new outfit! According to Max, this is a very good, short animation for DLP guests and the idea should be extended to all seasons.
Don’t miss the video of this Villains Promenade!
In Frontierland, Jack Skellington is back in a different location this year – further from Phantom Manor.
Although Jack Skellington remains in Frontierland, all the other villains can be found at the Castle courtyard, renamed “The Court of Evil” during Halloween! Evil welcomes us into its courtyard filled with brambles evoking the dangerous silhouette of a dragon in the mist.
Young guests can meet Stitch, too.
Fall is not only about Halloween villains but also about harvest time, so we have a Harvest Cavalcade. This year a new float in the same artistic vein as the previous two was created. And it fits perfectly in the parade. The choice of characters (Clarabelle, Horace, and the Three Little Pigs) works very well with the theme, i.e. farming and harvest.
The new soundtrack announcing the cavalcade before the parade music itself is superb, but Max found that the brutal transition of one passage of music to another was regretful. We have two videos of it for you, shot from two different locations!
Check back next week for part two of this special Halloween report.
