Clad in his favorite
Jack-O-Lantern costume, Donald Duck gets into the Halloween
"spirit" in the Epcot pumpkin
patch as Walt Disney World Resort gets ready for a
trick-or-treat bagful of Halloween fun. The pumpkin patch
at
The Land pavilion at Epcot is brimming
with giant pumpkins, Mickey Mouse-shaped pumpkins and ducks --
Donald Duck,
that is -- as the Walt Disney World Resort gets ready for a
trick-or-treat bagful of Halloween fun. Donald Duck,
decked out in his best costume, takes a full-moonlight-look at
one of the creations at The Land -- pumpkins
grown in special molds to resemble Mickey's famous silhouette.
Also part of Donald's Halloween harvest: giant
pumpkins weighing in excess of 400 pounds. Grown in the
pumpkin patch behind The Land, the finished fruit
will soon become part of seasonal displays across the Vacation
Kingdom. Fun comes in all shapes and sizes
during Halloween this year at Walt Disney World Resort
-- from the Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
and the thrills and chills of the Twilight
Zone Tower of Terror to the ghostly hijinks inside The
Haunted
Mansion and a mysterious ride by the storied Headless
Horseman (see photo below).
Cruella De Vil (left) the
villain who coveted coats in Disney's "One Hundred and
One Dalmatians," and
The Wicked Queen (right) the jealous temptress from Disney's
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," conjure
some frightful fun in front of The Haunted Mansion at the
Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Some fun
facts about Cruella and The Queen: both are on the American
Film Institute's (AFI) list of "Top 100 Heroes and
Villains"
of All-Time (Cruella comes in at #39 and the Queen is ranked
#10) -- and, Cruella placed #14 on the 2005 "Forbes
Fictional 15" list -- the magazine's annual, lighthearted
rankings of fictional characters' financial net
worth -- with a "Forbes"-estimated fortune of $1
billion.
With jack-o'-lantern held
aloft, the Headless Horseman stampedes down Main Street,
U.S.A. during
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom.
Joining this ghostly rider are favorite
Disney characters dressed in Halloween costumes of their own.
