Disney Parks Blog Weekly Recap

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is here and this week we shared a first look at a new but familiar face featured at this year's Haunted Mansion Holiday.

An all-new Sally figure has been added to the graveyard scene at Haunted Mansion Holiday and the all-new Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house is also ready to be seen.

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort runs through October 31. Visit Erin's original story for more details.

And since we're just days away from the beginning of the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival at the Walt Disney World Resort, we thought it was the perfect time to share details on our Rockin' Burger Block Party – the first party is on Sept. 30 at World ShowPlace.

We have more information on the creative burgers and celebrity chefs featured at the parties in Pam's original story. Go check it out.

Here are some of the other stories we worked on this week.
