Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree will become Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, where guests will whirl around the graveyard to the tune of creepy new songs and fun haunted twists on favorites such as “Monster Truck Smash” and “Welcome to Radiator Screams.”

Halloween Horror Nights 26 Welcomes Back Michael Myers

H2-blog-1170x731

Michael Myers Returns to Halloween Horror Nights 26

The original Halloween maze that Universal Orlando Resort created for Halloween Horror Nights 24 was a massive success. For fans of the original film, it was an opportunity to walk through the scenes of a revered horror film and be pursued by horror icon Michael Myers.

Just like the movies, Universal has been inspired to continue the story. You’ll have the chance to experience the final scene of 2014’s maze at Halloween Horror Nights 26 and immediately walk in-between the homes of Haddonfield. You’ll be attacked by Myers the entire way before seeking refuge within the hospital. Universal is recreating all the iconic events from the story, including Myers’ fiery “end”.

Many fans who grew up with the original Halloween loved and appreciated that its sequel was simply titled, Halloween II. It literally picked up the events within seconds from where the previous ended. What fans thought was the end was merely the first half of a horrific story!

The sequel continued Myers’ terror on the town of Haddonfield. And instead of a sleepy neighborhood, we were placed into the confines of Haddonfield Memorial Hospital. It’s a cold, stark setting, but also—just like the original—very familiar.

And just like in 2014, Universal couldn’t be happier to be collaborating with Malek Akkad, producer of so many installments of the Halloween franchise.

Hell has indeed returned to Haddonfield. And Halloween Horror Nights.

Are you planning to go to Halloween Horror Nights 26? Vacation packages are still available! Contact us today to start planning your adventure!

Make Jack Skellington Cookies This Halloween

jack skellington cookies

Did you know that October is National Cookie Month? If you’re looking to do something special with your family this Halloween or are looking for the perfect snack for your child’s Halloween party, try making Jack Skellington cookies! This Nightmare Before Halloween inspired cookie recipe actually comes from Tony’s Town Square Restaurant inside Magic Kingdom at the Walt Disney World Resort.

Jack Skellington Sugar Cookies (Makes 18 cookies)

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Icing

  • 2 egg whites
  • 3 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • Black food coloring paste

For cookies: 

  1. Combine flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
  2. Combine butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until smooth. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Add flour mixture in three parts. Once dough comes together, cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  4. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or an overturned cup, cut dough into circles about 3 1/4 inches in diameter. Place cookies 1 inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool completely before icing.

For icing:

  1. Place egg whites in bowl of an electric mixer; whisk until frothy. Add confectioners’ sugar a little at a time, until thick but still spreadable.
  2. Place 1/3 of icing in a separate bowl. Add black food coloring paste to reserved icing and stir until color is uniform.
  3. Decorate cooled cookies by covering with white icing and letting it dry (placing cookies in the refrigerator will speed up this process).
  4. Place black icing in a pastry bag or a plastic resealable bag and cut off a tiny bit of the corner to create a very small hole. Use black icing to draw eyes, nostrils and stitched mouth on each cookie.

Will you be making Jack Skellington cookies this Halloween?

Tips for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

mnsshp pumpkin

Fall is an exciting time at the Walt Disney World Resort. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is held on select nights in September, October, and November. These special event parties at the Magic Kingdom are the perfect way to help your family get into the fall spirit.

If you’re planning to attend Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party this year, here are some tips for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party so you can make the most of your evening.

  • Purchase Your Special Event Ticket Early– Admission to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is not included with general the park admission. You must purchase a separate Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party ticket. There are two perks to buying your tickets in advance- you may receive a discount on select event nights  and some nights will sell out so you won’t have to worry about missing out!
  • Wear a costume– Kids of all ages are welcome and encouraged to wear costumes to the party. It doesn’t matter if your costume is extravagant or homemade, dressing will help to put you in the Halloween spirit and make for cute photos with Disney characters – who also will also be wearing their Halloween best!
  • Pick Up a Special Event Map– The best way to make sure that you don’t miss anything is by grabbing an event map on your way in to the party. These maps will show you where to find trick-or-treat stations and special character greetings and even list the times for must-see Halloween entertainment.
  • Try Trick-Or-Treat Stations– All guests at the party (regardless of age) are welcome to trick-or-treat throughout the park at designated treat stations and special treat trails – pathways that offer multiple candy stops along the way. Plus, you can pick up a complimentary trick-or-treat bag on your way into the park to help you carry all your treats.
  • Watch Mickey’s “Boo-to-You” Halloween Parade– Any Disney parade is amazing, but if you’d like to see some of your favorite characters in Halloween costumes, marching Haunted Mansion butlers, dancing hitchhiking ghosts, Goofy’s giant candy machine, and more, you won’t want to miss Mickey’s “Boo-To-You” Halloween Parade!
  • Don’t Miss “Happy HalloWishes” Fireworks– One of the highlights of the parties is the special Halloween-themed fireworks show that takes place every night. “Happy HalloWishes” is narrated by the Ghost Host from The Haunted Mansion and features sections inspired by Cruella de Vil, Jafar, Oogie Boogie, and other Disney villains.
