The "source" for this LA Times article is MiceAge.

I'll be merging this thread with the already existing one in the rumor mill.

supposedly by there source (LA Times that i read as well lol) the Halloween show was announced by Disney to be called Villains Halloween pyro and remember won't be coming back in the fall like previously plan, magical will run through the fall till the new Halloween firework show debuts then into the Xmas so remember may not come back till next year, i hope jack host this firework show and they use all the villains and not just a few of em

[Sesshomaru-sama]

With all of the Remember... Dreams Come True stuff used to make this show unique and being used by the current fireworks display, I'm sure this Halloween show will be just simply breathtaking.

When Ghost Galaxies opens up, I'd be very happy if I do get to see that ghostly nebula face, from the Hong Kong Disneyland poster posted earlier, on the ride.

The reason I brought this to the rumor mill is this:

Brady MacDonald at the LA Times names Screamscape as his source... Meanwhile at Screamscape, if you read this piece carefully, they name their source as MiceAge. So I head on down to MiceAge to find that Al Lutz has one sentence about this on their front page. In the meanwhile, back over at Screamscape, they quote the LA Times article that quoted them qouting MiceAge as "confirmation".

What's missing here is who announced it? When Disney announces something it's either in a press release, a press conference, or at an event. Somebody like Jay Rasulo or Jon Lasseter or Ed Greir makes the announcement. Usually there's some detail.

I look for things like this: "Today at San Diego Comic-Con, Jon Lasseter announced..." Or "In reply to our inquiry, Disneyland PR rep John McClintock said..." or a press release quote like '"We are delighted to be bringing this spectacular new entertainment to Disneyland' said Walt Disney Imagineering show producer Kathy Rogers."

I'm not saying it's not true. It probably is. Al Lutz does have secret sources that tell him things that often turn out to be true. I expect there will be an announcement. It could be tomorrow at the ceremony for the new Window on Main Street. It could be in the press release for this year's HalloweenTime. It just hasn't happened... yet.

Oh yeah, I am hyperventalating as well. I tis cool that at disneyland you can enjoy the halloween festivities without paying extra like at WDW for Mickey's Halloween party

[Zero36]

i agree with ya Ezra 100% that's why i asked it to be moved here it hasn't been officially confirmed i had some cast member friends tell me a couple days ago then al lutz and post then the new york times but nothing officially announced yet just whispers and rumors even though this seems dead on to happening i really hope it does it sounds so interesting and should draw more crowds in that would go to universal and six flags and keep the locals around after summer nightastic end

The Aug. 4th issue of Disney Twenty-Three Magazine is about all things Halloween. There may be a tie-in there.

I'll be searching for the offical word. This all sounds wonderful, so I hope it's all true.

[MANEATINGWREATH]

Blue Sky Disney claims that it got approved.

[Zero36]

well know in a few days for sure, i think the attraction that has me the most excited is the firework show with the villains and jack hosting it

[Ezra]

I was hoping it would be today, but I guess they didn't want to steal any of Marty Sklar's thunder by making any big announcements. That's okay. He deserves the glory today.

[Zero36]

they'll probably announce it in the coming weeks closer to time maybe near the end of nightastic

[disneyguy]

Well, it's official!

Here it is from D23:
D23 | The Official Community for Disney Fans

For older kids and adults, Halloween Time offers a new attraction: Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland at Disneyland. For the first time, riders will experience not only the thrill of flying through the galaxy, but the exhilaration of ghosts and ghouls screaming through space trying to contact them. Creepy creatures lurk around every turn as the eerie attraction provides thrilling drops like never before.

New this year is a fireworks spooktacular that will haunt the nighttime sky throughout the Halloween season. Jack Skellington, the Master of Scaremonies, invites everyone to join in the celebration, including a cast of Disney villains who get into the sprit with a wicked sense of fun.

Now here's a question: what dates will the Halloween fireworks run in relation to the end of Magical and the start of Believe? Is Disney still planning on squeezing in a going-away run for RDCT?
