Disneyland Paris Update : All About DLP Halloween Season With Pictures and Videos !

We're back today at Disneyland Paris, for the promised pictorial report on the Halloween celebration which started a few days ago, with great pics and videos thanks to Max Fan, D&M contributor and DLPWelcome webmaster. Dozens of pictures for you today as well as video thanks to which you'll see everything just like if you were there, so let's start now. But before if you were on another planet the last three days and wonder what happened this monday jump to my two previous articles HERE and HERE which will tell you everything about what's happening and the new DLP recapitalization by the WDC. 

Also, i'm please to let you know that the special offer on the DLP book with a possibility to have a signed edition is extended all October, we still have  a few copies in english or french edition, so don't miss the very end of this article to know how to order the book while we have signed copies. 

That say, let's start by the Maleficent Disney Villains Halloween Promenade with a great float and villains characters. This short street animation allows visitors to be welcomed by the Disney villains. And the best way to be greeted is by a float worthy of its name "Dream of Power". His return is very welcome as we missed it! Ursula is moving her head and arms as well as the devil of Night on the Bald Mountain. That said, the visitor's attention remains monopolized by Maleficent in her new outfit! According to Max, this is a very good and short animation for DLP guests and the principle should be extended to all seasons.

Don't miss the video of this Villains Promenade!



In Frontierland, Jack Skellington is back, though it seems to me he is at a different location than last year, less close to Phantom Manor.

This year there if Jack still is in Frontierland all the others villains caan be meet in the Castle courtyard called "The court of Evil"! And yes, Evil welcomes us into its courtyard filled with brambles evoking the dangerous silhouette of a dragon in the mist.

Not too far, young guests can meet Stitch, too.

Fall is not only about Halloween villains but also about harvest, and what better than a cavalcade? This year a new float in the same artistic vein as the previous two was created. And it's no surprise, it fits perfectly in the parade. The choice of characters although confusing at first (Clarabelle, Horace, and the three little pigs) finally works very well with the theme, farm, harvest, Vive la Vie! 

The new soundtrack announcing the cavalcade before the parade music itself is superb, but Max regrets a brutal transition to the passage of a music to another. We have two videos of it for you, shot from two different locations!

And that's it for today's DLP update! I remind you that the signed edition special offs ris extended all October and those of you who wants to order my Disneyland Paris "From Sketch to Reality" book and would like to have a signed copy dedicated specially for them - or anyone they wish - can now order one. I'll sign personally each copy that will be ordered, whether it will be a french or english edition!

And to make things even better anyone who will order the book during October will have a signed copy at the price of a non-signed copy, i.e 75€ instead of 100€ ( and additional worldwide shipping remain the same at 15€  ). Only a very few copies have been signed since this book was published 12 years ago, so for sure it'll make your copy even more "collector's".

Paypal and credit card payments are accepted, so make sure to place your order now!

Disneyland Paris Halloween 2011 Update : Disney's Maleficious Halloween Party, and more

The Halloween Season began at Disneyland Paris and until October 31st DLP guests will enjoy the Halloween decor as well as an all new show on Central Plaza called Disney's Maleficious Halloween Party, hosted by the sinister Maleficent. Here is a full update with HD pics and videos which will show you this DLP Halloween season just like if you were there!



At Disney's Maleficious Halloween Party Disney’s ‘Mistress of All Evil’ awaits you daily for a brand new show full of delightfully deadly surprises! Still seething with jealousy for not having been invited to Princess Aurora’s christening, Maleficent plans to cast a spell of terror over Sleeping Beauty Castle. This year, she has given the job to the latest arrival to the family of Disney Villains, Dr. Facilier from the Walt Disney Pictures film The Princess and the Frog. Although Facilier proclaims himself ‘World’s greatest sorcerer,’ Maleficent has plans to show him the true tricks of the trade. The height of the show - a sinfully delicious shower of treats!

Here is a Youtube video of the full show filmed by filipv who did a great job. Note that a rumor is saying that DLP might reduce in the coming months the size of the Central Plaza stage.

Also new this year" Mickey’s Halloween Treat in the Street!", an interactive show with Mickey and friends. "Mickey and his closest friends are dressed in their Halloween best and await you for some unforgettable memories. You won’t want to miss them each day on Castle Stage as Mickey invites you to his Halloween party. Come dance with Minnie, learn to Hula Hoop with Goofy and go on a bat hunt with Donald... while Mickey plays referee for his friends as they skilfully master each event. Interactive fun several times a day followed by a sweet ending – a shower of Halloween candy!". Here is the video of the show filmed by MrPlopsalandfan.





DLP has also released its own video with official footage of this 2011 Halloween season, here it is below.




The Disney’s Halloween Festival Events are also back and include in Disneyland Park the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on 7, 14, 21 and 28 October 2011 from 8 to 11 p.m, and the big Disney’s Halloween Party on 31 October 2011 from 8:30 p.m. to 1 a.m:

- Spooktacular street entertainment and stage shows throughout the evening
- The Disney’s Fantillusion Parade led by the vicious Disney Villains, where the world of darkness meets the enchanted world in a fantastic twilight spectacular.
- A special Halloween Sound and Light Show with the fantangulous backdrop of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
- And oodles of other dreadfully delectable surprises!



And at the Walt Disney Studios, "Terrorific Night" returns this year as well with its own good helping of thrills and chills on 29 and 30 October 2011 from 8:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., "for a new experience in an even more terrifying world… The most fearless guests are going to scream in terror, but receive no response… Anyone who could be of help seems to have deserted the park… Gruesome creatures, monstrous characters and other-worldly artists have decided to haunt their nights for all eternity".

Below, a DLP official video which presents these Halloween events.




Also, here is two TV ads released by the park for this 2011 Halloween season.






Finally, the park did its Halloween media event recently with VIP guests who this time went on photo call with Disney Villains. You can see some of them on the video below, but most of them if not all are french so if you don't live in France you might not know any of them; Still, my french readers will be interested by the video.
