WDW Radio # 749 - History of Halloween in the Disney Parks - From the WDW Radio Archives
I ventured back into the WDW Radio Archives this week to the chills and thrills of Show 606, and a spine-chilling journey into the depths of Disney's Halloween history as continue to celebrate the “spirit” of the season as we look back at the history and evolution of Halloween in the Disney Parks, from Disneyland’s “Parade of the Pumpkins,” to the legendary Ray Bradbury's enchanting Halloween tree, to the many iterations and locations in Walt Disney World, and the vastly different celebrations in the Disney Parks worldwide. So grab some candy corn (or pumpkin spice latte), settle in, and prepare to be transported into a world where all things spooky and magical collide as we unlock the vault of Disney Halloween magic.
