For Ghostly Holiday Fun, Disneyland Resort

Celebrates the Fall Season with Two Spirited Attractions

Every Haunted Mansion Holiday guest receives a personal welcome from Jack Skellington. 

For those in search of happy haunting grounds this autumn, the Disneyland Resort becomes a spirited realm of other-worldly adventures guaranteed to put a chill down the most courageous spine. The frightfully fun "Haunted Mansion Holiday," a popular seasonal transformation of the classic "Haunted Mansion," returns to Disneyland on October 1, while the exhilarating thrill of "The Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorŽ" at Disney's California Adventure is especially inviting during the Halloween season.

"Haunted Mansion Holiday" in New Orleans Square at Disneyland delights guests by showing what happens when the traditions of Halloween and Christmas collide, resulting in holiday mayhem. Inspired by the innovative animated film Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, "Haunted Mansion Holiday" depicts a holiday season as taken over by Jack Skellington and his friends from Halloweentown. Premiering on October 1 and extending through January 2, "Haunted Mansion Holiday" is a totally different way to experience this all-time favorite Disneyland attraction. 

The change-over from the traditional "Haunted Mansion" experience to "Haunted Mansion Holiday" is immediately evident as the Mansion's exterior is decorated with hundreds of flickering candles and grinning pumpkins, along with a coffin sleigh filled with presents. Dressed as "Sandy Claws," Jack Skellington himself beckons guests to enter. Once inside, guests discover that the corridors are strangely decorated for a "Scary Christmas." Skull and bone wreathes and puzzling holiday paintings deck the halls, reflecting Jack's skewed interpretation of Yuletide cheer.

Your ride through the Haunted Mansion will be a memorable one, thanks to the appearance of a friendly holiday ghost in your sleigh. 

 Guests also encounter a floating apparition of Zero, Jack's dearly departed dog, frolicking around his present of holiday bones, and the ballroom of dancing ghosts has been transformed into a macabre Christmas Ball decorated with a ghastly Christmas tree, strange toys and a bizarre gingerbread sculpture. In a snow-covered graveyard, jolly ghosts play and harmonizing jack-o-lanterns sing vaguely familiar Christmas "scarols." Further along, Oogie Boogie the Boogieman spins a game wheel of holiday tricks and treats to spring on guests who will see a ghostly surprise materialize in their sleigh.

Just steps away from "Haunted Mansion Holiday," Halloween fun can also be found at the French Market Restaurant, which will be cleverly decorated to reflect themes and characters from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. The restaurant and other food locations will feature an array of Nightmare-themed desserts for little boys and "ghouls" of all ages to enjoy.

At Disney's California Adventure, "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror," a thrilling new adventure based on "a lost episode" of the classic Twilight ZoneŽ television series, will mark its first Halloween since opening at the park in May 2004. Looming 183 feet (the tallest attraction at the Disneyland Resort) and tempting guests to leave reality behind is the Hollywood Tower Hotel, site of the terrifying, other-worldly experience that is "The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror." 

The crumbling yet still stately landmark exhibits an air of foreboding, especially to sharp-eyed guests who may notice that part of the building seems to have been struck by an oddly violent bolt of 
lightening, exposing the elevator shafts. Halloween plays a role in the attraction's storyline, since it was on the night of October 31, 1939, that the mysterious occurrence forever transformed the Hollywood Tower Hotel into the attraction's eerie namesake. 

Daring guests enter through the once-grand lobby of the hotel (with a mysterious past) and are then ushered into a musty library by one of the hotel's droll "bellhops." In the library guests experience a unique invitation to board one of the hotels service elevators, where they find themselves on a terrifying journey to - The Twilight Zone.

This is obviously no ordinary elevator ride as guests experience a series of frightening phenomenon before their climatic free fall into fear. Each ride offers a "faster-than-the-speed-of-gravity" drop from the 13th floor and amazing special effects that will leave guests clinging to the edge of reality and wanting to do it over and over and over, if they dare.
