Disneyland Paris Halloween 2014 Launch: Mickey’s Halloween Celebration, Maleficent’s Court, Villain’s Promenade & More!
Yesterday saw the launch of the Halloween season in Disneyland Paris, and while the decorations and theming has already been completed, we still had three brand new elements of the harvest Halloween festival to see. Thanks to my wonderful friends over at Dlrp Express who got these videos and photos up on the same day they were taken. Mickey’s Halloween Celebration This is a return of the parade that debuted last year, but with the addition of an extra float for 2014. httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JcUdmJzdoT8 Vive La Vie has returned, a song that…

Disneyland Paris is Ready for Halloween with Maleficent, Pumpkins & Nightmare Before Christmas
Tomorrow, October 1st, sees the launch of the Halloween season in Disneyland Paris, and thanks to @InsideDLParis we can see how those final preparations look. As ever, Main Street Station looks fantastic, with a combination of pumpkins, ghosts and silhouette characters, welcoming guests to a very well themed Main Street, U.S.A. Very little has changed from last year, except the placement of some of the pumpkins on the railing at the top. Maleficent’s Court is one of the most intriguing parts of the new Halloween season, and now we see the…

Disneyland Paris – Please Keep Lightning McQueen Out As A Photo Meet
This weekend, and apparently only for this weekend (it’s the Halloween press weekend), Lightning McQueen is out for people to have their photo taken with. Now this is something I’ve wanted to see for years, and have spoken about it many times on this website and on the podcast too. It makes so much sense, for so many reasons: 1) It requires no ‘friends with’ Cast Member to play the part. In fact it could be argued that it wouldn’t need any Cast Member involvement at all, and they just let…

Disneyland Paris Pins for October 2014 – Halloween & Villains
With all the talk of Halloween in Disneyland Paris, it should come as no surprise that is the over-riding theme for October’s pin releases. Thanks to Jean-Louis for uploading the official poster. Pop Art Villain Pins This is a great looking series of 6 pins, featuring Cruella, Ursula, Dr Facilier, Maleficent, Evil Queen and Captain Hook. The pop art style is a nice change from the usual designs and it even looks like parts of the characters extend outside the normal rectangle frame of the pin. At €6,99 each that’s pretty…

Disneyland Paris News: Halloween 2014 in Disney Village
It looks like the Halloween season in Disneyland Paris is going to go further than Disneyland Park and out into Disney Village too. This video has just been released by Disneyland Paris on their official YouTube channel and gives some more details: httpvh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6Xe-Yr4ovo First thing to note is that this Disney Village Halloween entertainment runs from October 18th until November 2nd, so will not be there for the launch of the October 1st Halloween season elsewhere in Disneyland Paris. Saying that Disney village will be dressed in it’s Halloween Best would…
