Forget Christmas in July; It's Halloween in December! - Days in the ParkCast Banzai #2

Hangin' with the Pumpkin King

You’ve heard of Christmas in July?  Well, since it’s actually Christmas month now (December), we’re celebrating Halloween instead!  In this special Banzai episode of the ParkCast, we’re travelling back in time to October 21, 2011 to relive a special Day in the Park at Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland.  Come along with us as we take a walk down memory lane (or Main Street U.S.A. if you prefer) and talk about all of the wonderfully creepy and fantastic things this one-of-a-kind Halloween Party at the Happiest Place on Earth has to offer.

Pull up a chair, sit a spell, and listen along; we’ll be happy you did!  You can listen to our ParkCast on the Days in the ParkCast website or in iTunes!

What we’re talking about in this episode!
Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year at Disneyland, and this year we attended Mickey’s Halloween Party to get in on the fun.

Just what is this shindig all about? Gimme the deets! (Mickey’s Halloween Party)
-
Give us some dates, hours, and most importantly, the cost!
“We’re gonna need a bigger bag…” (MHP Trick or Treating)
-The bags are a tad small; if you’re candy-lovers, you may want to invest!
-Loads of both candy AND healthy treats to be had
-Awesome trick or treating locations and the lines fly (Village Haus Restaurant)
Halloween-themed attractions abound!
-Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy
-Haunted Mansion Holiday
-Give us “it’s a small haunted world”!
-Creepy atmosphere along the Rivers of America and the old Mine Ride Through Nature’s Wonderland
Sing along with us! “I… love a parade…” (Mickey’s Costume Party Cavalcade)
-
Short, but a very specific parade designed JUST for Mickey’s Halloween Party
-Cop and Robber Chip and Dale? Sold!
-Miss Piggy invades a parade! “Kissy Kissy…”
Everybody scream! Everybody scream! It’s the Pumpkin King! (Halloween Screams fireworks/pyro)
-
Special fireworks extravaganza created just for Mickey’s Halloween Party starring Jack and the gang
-Loads of Disney Villains, and the Big Bad Wolf!
-”Dark” fireworks and lighting on Sleeping Beauty Castle – definitely worth a view!
“Look Ma! It’s Maleficent!” (Character Greetings)
-
We finally get to meet Jack Skellington in person! And he sounds just like Prince Humperdink!
-Marilyn Manson in Disneyland!
-Villains Character Greetings in Fantasyland; we’d love to see more! Maybe in the Princess Fantasy Faire?
-Maybe we should dress as Eddie Valiant and Judge Doom next year; Mark’ll shave his noggin!
Last Thoughts…
-
Ultimately, with the extra cost, is it worth a look?
