Hot off the press are some cool posters for the Halloween Season at Disneyland Paris. Following on from last months press release posters, as posted on the magicforum by user Donald-Duck-Malta, this week's were posted by dlrpexpress here, and have received quite a welcome from fans. Showing for the first time a very interesting pumpkin Mike Wazowki, and some of the other Disney Villains, including Dr. Facilier, who makes his debut at Disneyland Paris this Halloween.

Over the past couple of weeks since information has been being released about the Halloween Season, there has been some concern that Maleficent has been replaced this year at DLP by Facilier. Although slightly disappointing, I think that it is a welcome change, and although Maleficent truly is the best Disney Villain, showcasing new Characters in the parks is always a good thing. Dr. Facilier also brings a cavalcade of other new things to DLP this autumn, starting with a brand new Halloween parade float. Although little details are known, it is thought to resemble a boat on the swamps of the Deep South. The float will now appear at the end of the Once Upon a Dream Parade, and not at the start as the Halloween floats normally do. It is also thought that Cruella will get her own car in the parade - maybe the one she used to use over at the Walt Disney Studios in previous years? Facilier will also feature in a brand new Halloween show on the hub, and also a meet 'n' greet character in Town Square (subject to change). With the return of some old favourites too, Halloween looks set to be awesome once again this year.

Staying with DLP, DLP.info has posted a couple more blog posts regarding Toy Story Playland. It is revealed that there will be a talking Rex scale model, much like the Buzz and Toy Soldier ones seen elsewhere in the land. As with the others he will make comments to passing guests, and will also provide some interactive commentary for the Slinky Dog Spin. In a number of the pictures it would appear a previously unmentioned retail space is also going in, albeit very small.

Toy Story Playland officially opens on the 17th August 2010 at Disneyland Paris. Be sure to check it out!

Finally, Jon and I are off from tomorrow on our grand adventures around the world, visiting both Disneyland Resort in California, and Tokyo Disney Resort! We shall try to make some blog posts while away and be rest assured there will be a lot to talk about when we return! As a reminder, as previously promised I will also be making new posts regarding meet and greet tips and info as part of my article series. So be sure to check them out too (most likely to be posted after our return).

Dan :)
