Limited Time Magic:  a Ghostly Time at the Happy Haunted Horseshoe

October 28 to November 1, 2013

From 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, head to the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon—re-dressed in the guise of “The Happy Haunted Horseshoe”—and grab a snack or a Halloween-inspired goodie as an ethereal group of entertainers takes a break from pushing up daisies to delight you with their tricks and treats. This is your chance to join hostess Miss Betty Blue as she calls forth haunting harmonies from the Cadaver Dans, the piano-playing Dearly Departed Stan and everyone’s favorite morbid magician, Abner Cadaver. So be on the lookout—miss this offering from Limited Time Magic and you may never rest in peace!

Jungle Cruise to become Jingle Cruise

The beloved 10 minute cruise of slapstick comedy will take on a Holiday theme beginning Tuesday, November 12.

From the Disney Parks Blog:  “In this new seasonal storyline of the attraction, the Skippers have grown homesick for the holidays, so they’ve added holiday cheer to the Jungle Cruise queue and boathouse with decorations that have been mailed to them from home (plus a few they’ve created themselves). The Skippers have also added a slew of new jokes to their tours that are the perfect way to get guests in the holiday spirit. Additionally, Jungle Cruise boats have been renamed with the holidays in mind, and if guests listen carefully, they may hear a holiday-themed radio broadcast playing in the background.”
