Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap

[Disney4me]

This week, we continued our celebration of the Halloween season with a special look at what’s happening at our international resorts.

We first visited Disneyland Paris where Disney Villains have taken over during an all-new parade – Mickey’s Halloween Tricycle Gang. Then, we traveled to Hong Kong Disneyland and showed you the resort’s most wicked Halloween party.

We also checked out the all-new Villains’ Cavalcade with Hades, Maleficent and Dr. Facilier and several other experiences at Shanghai Disney Resort before visiting Tokyo Disney Resort where they’re celebrating 20 years of Halloween fun.

Check our original story for complete details on all of the Halloween experiences.

Our Halloween coverage also included the latest “Inside Disney Parks” show. In this week’s episode, we shared an inside look at Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark and other new experiences at Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort as well as an update from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World Resort.
