Maleficent, who is often viewed as the most powerful and sinister of the Disney Villains, frequently acting as their leader in many crossovers, and her scenes in the climax of the film are among the darkest and most intense produced by Disney, has been awarded a star on the Disney's Walk of Fame during Halloween Time.

The Sunday ceremony was held on the sidewalk in Universal CityWalk in Disney Universal Studios. Maleficent is the main antagonist in Walt Disney's 1959 adaptation of Sleeping Beauty. She is the self-proclaimed "Mistress of All Evil" who, after not being invited to the baby's christening, curses the infant Princess Aurora to "prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and die" before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday.

 In Ultimate Disney's top 30 Disney Villains countdown, Maleficent ranked #1, with some of the reviewers describing her as "Disney's reigning villainess" or "a true Disney villain".

During the happy, haunting Halloween season, Disney World throws for the first time a family-friendly event called Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP). This  after-hours party, which requires a separate admission ticket, includes open attractions, a special  fireworks show, dance parties, and trick or treating.

But for many Disney guests who attend MNSSHP, one of the evening’s highlights is Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, which happens nightly on the evenings when the party is held. Boo-to-You is exclusive to MNSSHP.

Boo-to-You stars Disney characters (who appear on their Halloween costumes) – from the animated and live action films, as well as characters that are part of  Disney – and colorful floats. Street performers, who move along with the floats, and a toe-tapping theme song accompany the Halloween-themed parade.

In the video below you can see the full video from the Mickey’s Boo To You Halloween-themed parade held at the Disney Universal Studios! We love all of the characters, costumes and parade floats and we hope you all get to see this parade live!

Watch below and then let us know what YOU think! Also, be sure to share with us what you are dressing up as for Halloween this year!

Maleficent, the Mistress of All Evil, is furious that she has never been invited to  Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. She is planning to unleash her darkest power and throw the hottest and most unexpected Halloween party ever. During Halloween Time, Maleficent will enchant Guests with new frightful fun scattered across the whole park. She has even set Sleeping Beauty’s Castle aflame, where the brand new “Nightmare in the Sky” Pyrotechnics Show will be staged during Disney’s Halloween.


As Walt Disney is celebrating its 5th anniversary celebration, they will be filling a whole year with new surprises and experiences. A new and unexpected Disney's Halloween Time to guests this year. "Nightmare in the Sky" is the first time the Walt Disneyland Park has redesigned the pyrotechnics show.

The Only Halloween Themed Pyrotechnics Show in Disney World 

Maleficent curses has instigated the first ever Halloween pyrotechnics show in Walt Disneyland called "Nightmare in the Sky" - as she unleashes her spirit of Sleeping Beauty Castle . Surrounded by her sinister laugh and ghostly music, Maleficent will conjure up her wicked magic and engulf the castle in thorns and flames, while she ignites the sky with a spooky pyrotechnics spectacular.

The official website for the 2011 Halloween Time at Disney World is now open and ready to scare you silly at http://waltdisneymagic.weebly.com/halloween.html.  The new mini-site also divulges a few new details about this year’s season and the controversial Villains  invasion…

The overall presentation of the website, perhaps gives us a glimpse at what to expect from villains  involvement in the season. The website gives away much more detail on the pages describing the Halloween event, withthe new 'Not-so-Scary' theme being used as much as possible.

It’s Halloween Time, and the Disney Villains are claiming this is their time to rule the Disney World . Starting today, you can join the fun online and vote for your favorite villain on WaltDisneyMagic/Halloween.

Here are the Disney villains in the running:

Jafar – The all-powerful sorcerer from “Aladdin” is full of wicked magic tricks. His cunning plan is to betray the kindly Sultan, steal the magic lamp, wed Princess Jasmine and rule forever.

Maleficent – This self-proclaimed “Mistress of All Evil” can really hold a grudge when she’s not invited to the party. On Princess Aurora’s sixteenth birthday, she lures the innocent maiden to prick her finger on a spindle and fall into everlasting slumber. Then when Prince Phillip comes to rescue the Sleeping Beauty, she transforms into a monstrous, fire-breathing dragon! How medieval can you get?

Ursula – This dreadful sea witch will sink to any depths to carry out her evil deeds! With the help of two slithering eels, she torments undersea creatures, steals King Triton’s crown, and captures Princess Ariel’s beautiful voice. After she has the Little Mermaid clutched in her slimy tentacles, she conjures a massive sea storm and wages a vicious battle with Prince Eric. Could you “cast” your vote for someone this slippery?

Evil Queen – Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most insanely jealous of them all? This narcissistic ruler commands a huntsman to take her stepdaughter into the forest, do away with her, and bring back her heart. When the Magic Mirror reveals that Snow White is alive and still the “fairest in the land,” the Queen transforms herself into a hag and convinces the innocent princess to take a bite of a poisoned apple. We think you’ll agree this Queen is truly “heartless.”

Captain Hook – This elegant but vengeful villain anchored his ship and crew in the waters of Never Land, only to see revenge upong Peter Pan. Hook locks up Tinker Bell, sends a ticking package to Peter Pan, kidnaps the Lost Boys and forces Wendy to walk the plank. and repeatedly attacked Peter Pan and his crew with swords and schemes to exact lasting revenge.

Cruella De Vil – This devilish lady stops at nothing when it comes to satisfying her need for greed. She thinks everyone is an imbecile and anything can be bought. She’s a crazy driver who’ll run you down with her fancy car. She plots! She steals! She dognaps 101 Dalmatian puppies just to make the perfect fur coat. The only thing perfect about Cruella De Vil is her name. Like the song says, “If she doesn’t scare you, no evil thing will.”

These villains will be battling each other for the title of the baddest villain of them all, now through October 31. The voting starts today at WaltDisneyMagic/Halloween , and be sure to follow us on Twitter & Facebook for the latest updates.

Rapunzel has appeared in some Disney Princess books and doll sets, and as of now is featured in the Official Disney Princess Web Page. She was inducted into the franchise on 2 October 2011. In turn, she will be renderd in a traditional-animated style for the franchise as opposed to being CGI.

London, UK — October 2, 2011  Disney officially welcomed Rapunzel as the 10th Disney Princess character at a high profile, star-studded celebration, which took place in front of a global audience at Kensington Palace in London. Little princesses from across the globe watched Rapunzel be welcomed into the Disney Princess royal court by Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Snow White and Tiana. British teenager and rising star Shannon Saunders sang Disney Princess' new signature theme, The Glow.

The procession through Kensington Gardens was watched by an estimated over 10,000 Disney fans waving flags and lining the parade route to welcome Rapunzel and the other Disney Princess characters in their horse-drawn carriages. In a world first, Kensington Palace, was chosen by Disney as the perfect location for this magical welcoming ceremony of a Disney Princess, as it has been the home of many real life Princesses over the centuries.

"Rapunzel's royal celebration at Kensington Palace was truly a meaningful and important event in the history of Disney Princess," said Bob Iger, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Walt Disney Company. "Since the release of Tangled, Princess Rapunzel's inquisitive and energetic personality has filled the hearts and homes of little girls around the world."

Over 100 girls from over 25 countries dressed as little princesses joined the festivities and witnessed the crowning of Rapunzel by Fairy God Mother and Flynn Rider. The celebrations continued with a fun filled afternoon from lantern making to storytelling.

"Today's celebration was vibrant, energetic and fun, just like our newest addition to the Disney Princess family herself," said Anne Gates, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Disney Consumer Products. "Girls everywhere have admired Princess Rapunzel for her curiosity and imagination and now they can continue to celebrate her strengths and story with her induction into the Disney Princess royal court."

Each Disney Princess character has a unique story that empowers girls to imagine and live their very own fairy tales. Rapunzel is a modern heroine - she may have lived her entire life locked inside a hidden tower but Rapunzel is no damsel in distress. The girl with 70 feet of glowing, magical hair is an upbeat young lady who fills her days with art, books and imagination. She is full of curiosity about the outside world and can't help but feel her true destiny lies outside of the lonely tower walls.

To kick off her celebration, Rapunzel arrived in London a week early to do some sightseeing and visited a famous London landmark every day. Fans can view Rapunzel's royal journey picture gallery here and see the newest Disney Princess visiting Salt Tower at the Tower of London, Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge at Thames River and Big Ben.
