Mickey Mouse and Pals All Set to Dress Their Best for
"Disney's Halloween" September 30-October 31, 2006
(HONG KONG, September 27, 2006) - Mickey Mouse and his pals dressed up in spooky style today in readiness for Hong Kong Disneyland's first-ever Disney's Halloween - a fanciful, month-long celebration, which kicks off September 30, 2006.
In the spirit of Disney's global Halloween tradition, an adorable lineup of character costumes have made their way from Hong Kong Disneyland's sister parks - Disneyland Paris, the Disneyland Resort in California, and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida - for a spectacular Hong Kong debut.
Guests are in for treats - no tricks - this Halloween as Mickey Mouse transforms into a masked swordsman, complete with a black hat and cape; Donald Duck "dons" a giant, orange pumpkin costume while his sweetheart Daisy Duck spins her web in a spider-inspired dress and hair ribbon.
The Disney dog duo of Goofy and Pluto get into the worldwide "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie craze with special, swashbuckling Halloween costumes while mischievous chipmunks Chip 'n' Dale play a game of "Cops and Robbers" in their police-and-convict costumes.
Minnie Mouse, the queen of haute fashion, will delight guests with her one-off Good Witch-inspired ensemble which is specially designed for Hong Kong Disneyland. Featuring a dramatic, high-collared black coat trimmed in red and dusted in yellow stars, Minnie completes her outfit with a pointed witch's hat and yellow-buckled shoes.
Some of the world's most famous villains from Disney's animated feature films also make their grand debut in Disney's Halloween. Guests can get up close and personal with the creatively coiffured Cruella De Vil from "101 Dalmatians"; the craggy-faced Witch from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"; Jafar, the sinister sorcerer from "Aladdin"; Captain Hook, the one-handed pirate nemesis from "Peter Pan"; Hades, the powerful underworld god from "Hercules"; Pain and Panic who both serve as Hades' bumbling minions in "Hercules"; and the mean-spirited monarch Queen of Hearts from "Alice in Wonderland".
Guests are welcome to join Mickey Mouse and the gang as well as all villains in the dress-up fun during Disney's Halloween celebration and can star in the daily "mini-parade" which will wind its way through the park, led by an all-new, "happily haunted" float.
Hot Tips for Dressing-Up Fun
In keeping with the family friendliness of Disney's Halloween, Hong Kong Disneyland will encourage all guests to come dressed in their favorite Halloween costumes, but without the "scare factor" that may frighten younger guests. Half masks, like Mickey's swordsman mask are welcome, but for the comfort and safety of all guests, full-face masks are not allowed. Guests who wear large hats, oversized or flowing costumes may be required to adjust their costuming before boarding certain attractions for safety reasons, while accessories such as pitchforks, broomsticks and wagons will not be permitted inside the park and can be stored with the Park's luggage storage service.
Guests are encouraged to refer to the Disney's Halloween Costume Tips for more information.
