Halloween carnival coming to Disneyland

Orange County Register
Villains will greet visitors in Frontierland as a Halloween carnival debuts for Disneyland's spooky season. For the first time, Disneyland will transform the Festival Arena into a seasonal carnival with crafts, pumpkin carvers, music and games, including one in which guests toss rings onto witch hats. The villains will be part of the Magic Cauldron Sideshow, in which a magician will cast a spell to make the characters appear, said John McClintock, a Disneyland Resort spokesman. In past years, villains met with visitors near It's a Small World.

Halloween Carnival takes over Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree at Disneyland Park

Disney Parks Blog
The Halloween Carnival at Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree opens September 14 and continues most days through October 31. That’s where you’ll find a carnival filled with fun for the whole family, with favorite Disney characters in Halloween costumes, special Halloween entertainment, amazing pumpkin carvers, activities, holiday merchandise, yummy treats and even the Disney Villains! Try your hand at carnival games, like tossing rings on a witch’s hat or spinning the Crystal Ball Fortune Wheel to seek your own happy Halloween fortune.

Everyone’s favorite Frontierland musical group joins the fun, too, as Billy Hill and the “Haunted” Hillbillies take the stage six times a day for a round of appropriately spooky tunes, all done in their inimitable bluegrass style.

The highlight of the Halloween Carnival is sure to be the Magic Cauldron Sideshow. Dare to venture into this tented area, and you may be asked to help cast a magic spell, conjuring a Disney Villain from his or her realm to meet your group before returning to worlds beyond. Disney Villains fans will want to visit more than once, since you never know which Disney Villain might be summoned each time. Sounds like a real “scream!”
