\n\n**More “tricks” than ever! Complete these wicked challenges from the Disney Villains** \r\n\n\r\n\n_“Trick” No 1: Be a guest at “Jack Skellington’s The Nightmare Before Dinner”_\r\n\nHaving stayed hungry for a whole year, the Pumpkin King, Jack Skellington, has reserved the entire River View Cafe to share authentic Halloween flavors with guests in the shadow of Halloween Town. It is the perfect #eatertainment option!\r\n\n\r\n\n\r\n\nImmerse yourself in this classic Halloween story while enjoying a frightfully delicious four-course dinner with exclusive special appearances from Jack, Sally, and Oogie Boogie.

\n\n_“Trick” No 2: Rock out to the “Let’s Get Wicked” show_\r\n\nThe Theater in the Wild will get even wilder this year, and the “Let’s Get Wicked” musical is getting a truly spooky twist.

Cruella will make her debut as a singer as she belts out the song “Cruella de Vil.”\r\n\nGuests can also pledge their allegiance to Maleficent or the Evil Queen from _Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs_ by venturing deep into their lair — where exclusive interactive photo locations for guests to snap memorable shots in Adventureland are available.\r\n\n

Face painting activities outside City Hall and at Professor Porter’s Trading Post from Fridays to Sundays further allow you to wear your most wicked side with pride.\r\n\nThe brand-new Munchlings, debuting globally in September, are also a great choice this Halloween. With the help of some magic, this new line of adorable Disney plushes are inspired by tasty treats and sweets from the Hong Kong Disneyland Main Street Bakery. Halloween goers should not miss the “Frozen Delights” mystery pack of small Disney Villains plushes, so grab a mystery pack to enjoy the surprise moment when unwrapping the package.
