October 24, 2008: Hong Kong Disneyland Does Halloween!

1. A giant Jack Skellington lays across the entrance turnstiles. It's hard to see but a giant Sally stretches across the other set of tunrstiles.

2. Main Street continues a Nightmare Before Christmas theme on the lampposts.

3. There are over 160 Jack Skellington, Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh goodies to choose from!

A few tasty Halloween-inspired treats can be found at the Resort. At the park, savor a devilish 3-course meal at Main Street Corner Cafe featuring Seafood in Red Curry. If you prefer a more lavish meal, indulge in the 6-course meal including Braised Seafood with Squid Ink Noodle at Riverview Cafe. Special spooky treats like Red Bean Pumpkin Bun and Spider Muffin can be found throughout the park.

During the reign of darkness, Hong Kong Disneyland's Hotels feature themed lunch (Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Public Hoiday) and dinner buffets. Feast on Oven Baked Pumpkin with honey, and Praline Vampire Brulee. On these select dates in October (1,5,7,12,19,26), the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel will hold a Halloween High Tea Buffet offering delightful desserts like the Evil Chocolate Lava Cake.

The Main Street Haunted Hotel returns this year to spook guests with the tale of a fateful bride who never makes it past her wedding day. I guess the notion of a dying bride is just creepy in any culture. I'm guessing a few might not be so terrorized of that maid though...

Disney describes it as follows: "The mystery surrounding the atrocities which took place in the Main Street Hotel were explained last Halloween but the hauntings continue. The dark soul of Victoria Maxwell roams the rooms, hungry for new victims. So, if you seek a spine tingling sensation, check into the Hotel and hope that your stay is not for a lifetime!"

A final look at the Haunted Hotel and then a jump over to the hub of the park where the Partners Statue seems to have made way for Jack Skellington and the iconic fountain from the film.

1. A concept image of Sleeping Beauty Castle covered with Maleficent's thorns. It does not appear that this actually happened this year in the park, I wasn't able to confirm this.

2. Once a year this sensationally spooky Glow in the Park Halloween Parade glows in the dark. Behind Jack Skellington and his creepy Pumpkin Men on parade. Scream with Disney Villains and gasp at the spine-chilling acrobatics of the Red Devils. This year a whole new Ghostly Pirate Ship will create a rousing finale. Be on the look out for pirate treasure!

Venture down the wrong path and you might end up at the Adventureland Haunted Trail. Disney describes it as follows: "At night the Adventureland river pathway becomes more treacherous as it suddently and unexplainably becomes possessed by beastly creatures! This jungle-pass is alive with demented zombies and bedeviled Pumpkin Men, so step with care if you dar. Things are not always what they seem in this dark and dangerous jungle!"

There is an attraction in Adventureland called the Demon Jungle. Disney describes it as follows: "Dare to enter the outpost uncovered in the depths of Adventureland. Fearless explorers built their outpost on a burial ground, awakening the demons who possessed everything and everyone inside. The outpost has been found and it's your chance to explore. Getting into the jungle is one thing. Getting out is another!"

1. A few last shots inside the Demon Jungle.

2. We conclude with concept art for Space Mountain - Ghostly Galaxy which Disney describes as follows: "Explore the darkness of the outer regious of an aleternate Universe... Space Mountain has been transofmred with a hauntingly eerie sound track, ghoulish monstrosities, and scary aparitions that make your heart race and your skin crawl!"


THE END!

The direction for the Halloween event that Hong Kong Disney took looks awesome.
I love the decor and change of attractions.

I would not mind seeing DCA take that direction in a couple years. Disneyland could expand its more subtle Halloween decor and take the direction that Tokyo does.

Gah, I love how they go all out NBC!

I love that hub statue, but it makes me wonder if they'll ever get a partner statue...It was quite odd not seeing one there.
