The Food
Next stop was Fantasyland which had been transformed into a Halloween celebration circa 1790 with pumpkin carvers and a couple of game booth activities. Guests were given paper face masks to wear though few actually wore them. Food and beverages, including beer and wine, were placed at tables in the area between the carrousel and the castle. Cynthia Harriss, Executive Vice President of Disneyland was onhand to greet and chat with the guests.

Next Brom Bones gathers the crowd for spooky tale but Icabod doesn't want to hear such things. Braum begins to tell the tale of young Wendy, Michael and John who fly off to Neverland. Peter Pan appears and escorts the crowd to Peter Pan's Flight. Icabod warns us of the pirates and crocodiles. After exiting the attraction Brom regrets not asking us to pass his greetings along to the mermaids whom as he put it are good friends of his.
Brom begins another tale. Once again Brom wants to tell a
creepy tale. He talks of a young princess whose heart is cut out by a woodman. Icabod
interrupts explaining that the woodsman could not do that horrible act and instead Snow
White escaped into the forest. They continue with the tale, Brom highlighting the
scary moments and Icabod interjecting their happy conclusions. While they are trying to
recall the dwarves names Snow White appears and finishes the happy tale. She then
invites us to ride Snow White's Scary Adventure.
In the cue apple slices and cheese cubes await us. What a thrill! When the witch offers her juicy apples, "Want some tasty apples?" I reply "don't mind if I do" and take a bite of a juicy apple slice.
Pinocchio joins the storytellers as they recount his tale from little wooden boy to real boy. Afterwards we are escorted to Pinocchio's Daring Journey. At the exit of the queue Pinocchio is available for pictures. Each guest is given a Polaroid snapshot as a souvenir. Also available at this stop is a cart of caramel corn and candied apples.
