This year's season sees a surprising twist to the Halloween theme. A witch, Gruzella, has crashed into the town square gazebo, mysteriously making time stand still (hence the reason why a host of dastardly Pumpkin Men have been frozen in their attempt to claim Halloween as their own, and paint Disneyland Park orange!). But Gruzella has disappeared! Her mission? To reclaim Halloween from those pesky Pumpkin Men and return it to what she believes to be its rightful owners – witches! To help her in her quest, Gruzella has rallied a host of pink witches - cauldrons at the ready - to her cause, to combat the Pumpkin Men who seem more determined than ever to paint the town orange. Throughout the Halloween season, the Pumpkin Men and Pink Witches will get up to all sorts of tricks (and treats) to take control of Halloween, and guests will need to choose sides during a fun and interactive experience that lasts throughout the day, every day, in Disneyland Park.

The Wonderful World of Disney Parade will once again become the Disney Villain Parade, the stage for yet another bickering battle between the Pumpkin Men and the Pink Witches. At the foot of Sleeping Beauty Castle, a giant pumpkin will be home to a fantastical face painting workshop free for all children under 12, while HalloweenLand will be home to the "Pink Witches Convention Academy", complete with some original and interactive cauldrons that guests can use as the backdrop for a spooky souvenir photo.

Furthermore, Disneyland Resort Paris will host two Halloween parties where creatures of the night will feel right at home! On October 30 and 31, 2005, from 8.30pm to 1am, guests will be able to experience a host of attractions and unique Halloween entertainment in Disneyland Park.
