Frontierland has once again been magically transformed into HalloweenLand, the ghost town where it's fun to be frightened! This land of pumpkins offers guests the chance to see a fang-tastic array of entertainment and shows, as well as a host of favourite Disney characters.

Guests will enter the transformed land from the Central Plaza through the remodelled Fort Comstock, which is covered in a giant spider web, to find themselves in a ghost town complete with tumbleweed, pumpkins and scarecrows. An information point offers guests the chance to discover the day's dastardly goings-on. Once again, the Spiderweb Stage will invite guests to have their photographs taken with ghouls and goblins with the spires of Big Thunder Mountain in the background.

However, the most eagerly anticipated addition to Halloween 2002 will undoubtedly be the mouth-watering "revamp" of Phantom Manor! For the first time, guests will notice the Manor taking on a macabre "mummified" look. When night falls, glowing eyes will stare terrifyingly out from the abandoned Manor's window. An enormous mausoleum at the foot of the hill will offer guests the chance to discover more about the origins and meaning of Hallowe'en.

Streetmosphere will continue to reinforce the greetings of the season as the Disney Villains take to the roadways bordering the Rivers of the Far West to ensure every guest is participating in the revelry of Halloween! The "Salesorcieres" witches and the "Salecitrouilles" pumpkins will offer guests numerous opportunities to get into the "spirit" of the occasion, as they prowl the streets of DLP.

Meanwhile, over at the Cowboy Cookout Barbecue, Eddy the Scarecrow will teach children of all ages the steps to his special interactive dance, "La Macabrena", while younger rascals will be invited to join in the Mexican tradition of "Piñata". Nearby, special hairstyling workshops will offer younger guests the chance to have a real 'bad hair day', while expert sculptors will carve strange shapes out of pumpkins and offer a few helpful hints tips to children wishing to make their own "Jack O'Lantern" back home.

Throughout the Festival, the restaurants in HalloweenLand (Cowboy Cookout Barbecue, Fuente del Oro and the Last Chance Cafe) will take on a Halloween theme and offer special Halloween menus, ensuring that the season even permeates mealtimes!
