Very, very interesting…however what is actually new this year? Well a quick read of the release seems to show that instead of having a Villains show like in 2008 the Villains will actually be invading It’s Party Time with Mickey and Friends. Minnie’s Party Train will also take on a Halloween theme again this year. There has been no news on any of the events on the temporary Trick and Treat Stage Frontierland however I don’t think that these were mentioned last year either.
