Disney Halloween 2019 has finally begun! The Tokyo DisneySea fun is set to run until October 31 where it will provide guests with a dark and mysterious Halloween experience that will keep you on edge... like something's about to happen, but you're not sure what. Tokyo DisneySea's decor takes on a more grown-up bewitching look compared to Tokyo Disneyland's cute decorations. Hung throughout the park you will find decorative banners featuring illustrations of Disney characters dressed in their spooky garments. This year, Mickey, Minnie and the rest of the cast invite guests into a truly bewitching wonderland. If you pop over to American Waterfront you'll find some great photo opportunities, like the Minnie Mouse and Daisy Duck statues waiting to welcome you at the entrance, clad in hauntingly beautiful attire and stood next to night-black pumpkins and dried flowers. You'll find the rest of the costumed characters further in too. Be sure to get photos with everyone!

Disney Halloween 2019 has finally begun, and this year, Tokyo DisneySea is serving guests a dark and mysterious Halloween experience to keep them on edge. The festivities will run all the way up to October 31.   We visited the park to see Festival of Mystique, an all-new colourful and flamboyant show introduced this year. Here's our report. The show began with music chiming in at Porto Paradiso in Mediterranean Harbor upon which trickled out lines of costumed friends of the sea. The beautifully dressed ladies at the front then spoke of a Halloween festival that was once held at the port, and their intention to resurrect it. Out came a merrymaking Mickey mouse and Disney cast aboard a ship, clad in cute outfits the likes of which have never been seen before at the park. Donald Duck, Goofy, Chip and Dale all got off the boat and headed towards the ladies, almost as if charmed by the allure of their beautiful and bewitching singing voices. This was followed by a sudden whimper by Pluto as he looked on towards Mickey. "Pluto, you've got to be a good boy! We've put a lot of effort into this Halloween," Mickey said to him. When he said this he began to think that something strange was going on with the festival―like something was going to happen... The singing and dancing ladies went on to teach the onlooking guests a few dance moves to get involved with the show. Everybody danced together with Mickey as the leader.   It wasn't long however before the mood and tone of the music took an uncomfortable turn... Before we realised it, Mickey had been locked inside a cage! But he was dancing and having fun literally just seconds before―what happened?! Luckily, Minnie Mouse comes to the rescue to save Mickey and bring the fun Halloween festivity back. She takes the lead and dances with the guests this time.   So what happened to the Disney characters, and what was their fate? We don't want to spoil the ending, so you'll have to see it for yourself this fall!   ©️Disney
