During this year’s Festival, popular Disney villains, including Maleficent, Ursula and Captain Hook are also taking over some iconic park locations. Even villains like Jafar and Cruella de Vil are invading Studio Theatre at Walt Disney Studios Park to strike frightfully fun poses with guests.

The bravest guests can discover – or rediscover – Disneyland Paris’ spookiest attractions as well. They can shriek in The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Walt Disney Studios Park, seated in the elevator of the infamous Hollywood Tower Hotel, facing 13-story freefalls and enjoy other surprises.

At Disneyland Park, guests are invited to join spirits and ghouls who enjoy nothing more than feasting and dancing in the dining room of Phantom Manor, nestled in a dark corner of Frontierland.

For the entire season, Disneyland Park is decorated in its most spooktacular Halloween decor from Main Street, U.S.A., to Sleeping Beauty Castle and beyond. And in Frontierland, there’s a colourful Mexican-inspired festival complete with lively music and prancing skeletons.

This year’s celebration also includes enchanting sweet and savory flavors shaped like Disney villains and Halloween-themed merchandise at shops throughout the Resort.

My enthusiasm for all things Disney all started when my parents took our family to WDW for a vacation. My first trip was at age 13. Since that first time, I have made a trip to WDW almost every year from age 13. As far as I knew there was only one place to vacation! My fascination with WDW began on that first trip. I wanted to know how things at WDW operated and what made it so magical. I wanted to know details like how many people worked there and the length of the monorail track. It is that fascination that fueled my interest in WDW. Each year that my family vacationed at WDW, I learned more about WDW as they built more parks and added more attractions. I am not the average fan; I want to know all the details and I love researching the facts of WDW. I research facts through the Internet, books and DVDs. To me, the best part is to conduct research trip at WDW. After college, my father was transferred to Orlando and I moved with my parents. Seeking employment, I applied for a job at WDW. I passed the first rounds of interviews and was proud to join the Disney family as a security cast member! The job was great. It included Disney-specific training and security training before assuming four duties: driving a security vehicle, standing a post, working in a resort or walking a park or other area. Sometimes I even had special duties like working the Epcot Christmas Processional. I would escort the celebrity guests from backstage to onstage. Interestingly, every cast member is given a WDW fact book monthly to aid in answering guest questions. The pocket book contained great Disney facts that added more fuel for my thirst of Disney facts. Well, all-good things must come to end so we moved back to NJ. In the summer of 2010 I moved back to Florida I am now living in Orlando less then 15 minutes from WDW and living the dream and have fun along the way.
