Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Bewitching Fun All Season Long as Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween
Party Reigns at Magic Kingdom
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – When the Disney characters dress up for
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this September and October, Mickey
Mouse and Minnie Mouse will be debuting a whole new look. Mickey has
traded his scarecrow costume for stunning purple and orange eveningwear
fit for a Halloween ball. Not to be outdone, Mickey’s best girl, Minnie
Mouse, exchanged her witch costume for a party dress to complement
Mickey’s attire.
For Mickey, it’s a top hat and purple tails. For Minnie, it’s a party
dress with a purple hat with an orange ribbon – bright and colorful,
befitting the fun on 26 evenings between Sept. 5 and Oct. 31 when Magic
Kingdom hosts the popular after-hours party.
Guests are invited to dress up as well for the 7 p.m.-midnight party
which features two scheduled entertainment extravaganzas guests can see
at no other time: the “Boo-to-You” Halloween parade and the bewitching
“Happy HalloWishes” fireworks spectacular. There’s trick-or-treating
galore and also a chance to experience popular attractions throughout
the evening.
2008 Parties are slated for Sept. 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26, 28, 30 and
Oct. 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 13, 16, 19, 21, 23, 24, 26, 28, 30, 31. To

Just in time for
Halloween: Face Painting Tips from a
Disney Parks Expert
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- A glitter-dusted tiara for a dainty
princess…a bandana, eye patch and a scruffy beard for a
pirate...whimsical wings for a fairy...brightly colored stripes and
wispy whiskers for a not-so-ferocious tiger.
Instead of buying additional costume accessories to create these looks,
why not try painting them on? Face painting is popular with guests of
all ages at Walt Disney World, and it’s a great – and safe – way to
enhance any costume. Not only can the looks be more customized to the
child’s personality, the child’s range of vision is not affected as it
could be in a store-bought mask.
Here are some timely tips for applying face makeup from Rebecca Downin,
one of the face painting artists in Mickey’s Toontown Fair in the Magic
Kingdom:
Always use a water-based theatrical makeup, one that is
hypo-allergenic and non-toxic.
Begin the design by using a soft, round sponge to apply the larger
areas of color on the child’s face.
Then, use thin brushes (smaller brushes from local craft stores will
do nicely) to paint on details and lines.
Once done with the design, use baby wipes and moist cotton swabs to
clean up the edges. Then, make any needed corrections.
For an extra-special, finishing touch, use the detail end of a small
brush to apply a dab or two of non-metallic, round-cut glitter.
