Visit Disneyland Paris For A Halloween To Remember

Disneyland Paris
is transformed for Halloween and by visiting at this time you can experience things that are not available at any other time of year. You can also be sure of a great atmosphere that will suit all ages with some extra special surprises.

As you can imagine with Disney being American based Halloween is one of the highlights on the calendar and Eurodisney certainly tries its hardest to provide the spooky entertainment expected. Generally you can expect a whole month of excitement but there is also the added bonus that Halloween does usually coincide with half term making it easier to take the children with out missing valuable school time.

First of all there is a Halloween parade which will include pumpkin men, witches and of course all the Disney Villans who simply love Halloween!!!

‘Crazy coiffeurs- will be around the park and will provide a great FREE treat for children aged 3 – 11 in that they will create strange and freaky hairstyle with matching freaky face painting! Then you are able to join Disney characters trick or treating around the park.

Most shows are changed for Halloween a particular favourite is the Disney Villan’s Halloween Showtime, Captain Hook and Cruella de Vil give plenty of opportunity for screams and hisses!

The stage near Sleeping Beauty’s Castle has the show ‘Goofy and the magic pot’ where children can learn how to cook pumpkin soup. Minnie and her Bat Boys also come along to help.

For many though the highlight is actually on Halloween when the park opens between 8.30pm and 1.00am when you can experience all the rides in the dark with spooky characters to help you on your way. The will also be a spectacular firework display to add to the celebrations

To get all the lands themed at Disneyland Paris and to make the event as spectacular as possible a lot of time and effort is spent. The following statistics show how seriously Disney takes Halloween

• Over 25 TONS of pumpkins are used during the Halloween season at Disneyland Resort Paris
• 400 bales of straw are brought in to be used in Halloweenland, as well as 500 bales of hay.
• More than 4,500 corn on the cobs are eaten, along with 800kg of sweets per night.

So if you are thinking about a visit to Disneyland Paris and want something different for the autumn then may be a trip to Eurodisney to experience a spectacular Halloween could be the answer.
