Down
your spine you feel a chill…

Every Halloween, the mischievous Pumpkinmen mysteriously spawn out
of the Pumpkin plants at Cottonwood Creek Ranch and immediately set about
painting everything in sight their favourite colour – orange! 
Last year, they discovered a near-infinite supply of precious
orange paint deep below the legendary Big Thunder Mountain, which
was then mined and transported to the mainland through the use of
a perilous cableway system over the Wicked Waters of the Far West.

Eerie spirits oozing out of the Wicked Waters turn Frontierland
into HalloweenLand, with ghosts and goblins and spooks all around. 
Main Street USA is transformed into Orange County by the
unstoppable Pumpkinmen, who take over the turn-of-the-century town
and even have their own Pumpkin Postmen, Policemen and Barbershop
Quartet!  There’s no escaping the alarming Orange atmosphere
in Disneyland Park at Halloween… until now!

Halloween has been Orange for too long.  It’s time for a new
spark of spookiness, a new cackle of chaos, a new wave of
wickedness.  The witching hour is upon us!  Get ready to
welcome the fiendish Pink Witches, and the start of an epic battle
between orange and pink.

Choose your side and be prepared for things to turn gruesome!

So,
what’s new and different during Halloween in the resort?  This
is a
brief summary of all the delightful horrors and spooky surprises
which can be found throughout the resort during Disney’s Halloween
Festival.  Click on any of the special events or themed areas
to find out more…
 


The
Disney Villain Parade

 


The
Wonderful World Of Disney Parade is commandeered by the Disney
Villains and presented as a grim and ghastly tribute to the tricks,
terrors and triumphs of their dark movie history, with the Pumpkinmen
and Pink Witches lending a hand.
 

Pink
Witches vs. Pumpkinmen: The Battle



 
There’s no need to watch
paint dry in Orange County, as soon as you step onto the street the
battle begins and won’t end until the final Halloween colour is
chosen.  Pink or Orange?  You’d better choose your team and
prepare for battle!

Orange
County Redecorating



 

Fun
decorations for Halloween these most certainly are not!  The
Pumkinmen have taken over the pleasant area of Main Street with a
burst of frenzied redecoration and giant splatters of Orange paint.

Several
times daily, the best Pumpkinman artists arrive in Orange County to
show the crowds their humorous pumpkin talents… on the windows of
some of the most historic buildings in Main Street!
