Ke noʻonoʻo ʻoe i nā mea e hele i ka pō e noʻonoʻo ʻoe i nā ʻuhane, goblins, a… Disney World? ʻOi no Petey Mongelli ʻo ia nō ka mea āna e noʻonoʻo ai i ke kau pū ʻana i kāna hanana hou loa no nā mea aloha weliweli. ʻO ka makuakāne o Spooky Empire, ka ʻaha kūkā weliweli nui loa a maikaʻi loa o Florida, i lawe mai iā mākou i nā lā Spooky i ka Pāka; he hopena pule o ka weliweli ma loko o nā puka o Walt Disney World.

Inā ʻoe i hele i kahi ʻaha kūkā ʻo Spooky Empire ʻaʻole paʻakikī e ʻike i ka pūʻali koa o nā kolohe ʻo Disney e hele wāwae ana i nā hale o zombies, vampires, a me nā cosplayers ʻeleʻele ʻeleʻele ʻē aʻe. Ma muli paha o kā mākou wahi he mau mile ka mamao mai ka "wahi hauʻoli loa ma ka honua" akā ʻo kēia ʻaha kūkā weliweli e hoʻopuka i ka ʻaoʻao villainous o nā mea pā Disney he nui.

Me he mea lā ua nānā aku ʻo Petey, i kāna hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hanana mua o kēia makahiki ma Walt Disney World ma Florida; Nā lā Spooky i ka Pāka. Ua hui pū ka mea hoʻoweliweli weliweli i kēia hanana me kāna koʻokoʻo kupaianaha ʻo ia kekahi o ka hopena pule maikaʻi, a hiki iā mākou ke manaʻolana e hoʻi mai ana i ke kau kilokilo e hiki mai ana.

ʻO ka hanana ʻekolu mau lā, ʻoiai ka liʻiliʻi o ka pālākiō i kāna ʻelua mau makahiki o ka Spooky Convention, ua ʻūlū mau i kahi kī Hoʻomaka ka poʻe kūʻai Pōʻalima i kā lākou mau papa o nā mea maʻamau, ʻano ʻē, a me nā mea hoʻoweliweli e kūʻai ʻia aku ana ma ke kikowaena o ka hālāwai i mālama ʻia ma loko o ka Coronado Springs resort. Ma kahi kokoke he kanakolu mau mea kūʻai aku i hele aku, a ʻo ka hapa nui o lākou i hoʻopili i kā lākou mau hana hoʻoweliweli kumu e hoʻohanohano a me ka hoʻokupu i ka hopena pule kūikawā i mālama ʻia ma ka home o Cinderella's Castle.

Ua ʻike nā mea kūʻai aku ʻē aʻe i kēia he manawa kūpono e hōʻikeʻike i kā lākou hana noʻeau i hui mua ʻia ma Disney a me ka pouli e waiho ana ma waho o nā puka pā o ka pā. He wahi pouli mau ko Disney; ʻO wau e hele mai, ua hele mua ʻoe ma He Ao Liʻiliʻi kēia? Weliweli ia!

I nā koʻikoʻi āpau, nā mea hoihoi e like me ka Kūleʻa hale a ʻO ka Hale kiaʻi o ka weliweli ma ka Wā o Twilight e haʻalele maoli i nā mea leʻaleʻa hauʻoli e hele ana i loko o ka Magic Kingdom, a me nā mea nani a me nā mea hoihoi ʻole e hoʻopiʻi i nā poʻe ʻōpio.

Lawe kēia iā mākou i ka hanana o ka Pōʻalima; ʻO ka Gala. ʻOiai ʻo mākou nā lā Spooky mua loa i ka Pāka ua loaʻa iā mākou ka wehewehe ʻana o ka pūnaewele no kēia hanana e hoʻomākaukau iā mākou no ke ahiahi; ʻaukā wehe, nā mea ʻai me nā kolohe hewahewa, pilikino a me ke komo palena ʻole i ka ʻO ka hale kiaʻi weliweli, Disney Villain kiʻi ops kiʻi, a me kahi DJ ola. ʻAʻole pōʻino, ʻoiai ke pali ke kumukūʻai o ke komo ʻana ... a ʻaʻole, ʻaʻole au e manaʻo i kou ʻuhane.

Ka mālama ʻana i ka pā ma waho pono o ka ʻO ka hale kiaʻi weliweli ua hoʻololi nā mea hoʻonohonoho hanana i ka wahi i kahi ʻike spooktacular me kā lākou mau koho kukui, nā mīkini noe, a me nā mele eerie. He ʻaoʻao ʻeleʻele loa ia o Disney World, kahi mea aʻu i ʻike ʻole ai ma mua e hoʻopili ana i koʻu ʻike ma Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.  Me kahi pālule lole ʻaʻano i manaʻo nui ʻia a me ke kaulike o ka nani a me ka spooky, he ʻahaʻaina maoli ia no nā maka.

ʻOiai ʻaʻole i kuhi ʻia kēia hanana i kēlā me kēia peahi Spooky Empire i hele paha i nā ʻaha kūkā o Petey i hala, he waiwai waiwai ia no ka poʻe e ʻimi nei i nā mea ʻeleʻele i ka Magic Kingdom. He mea liʻiliʻi loa ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manawa helehelena me kekahi o nā kolohe i hele i ka Gala, a me ka lehulehu o kahi o 60 mau kānaka i loaʻa he manawa no ka ʻoi aku ma mua o kāu awelika paʻi kiʻi a hele.

ʻO nā huapalapala i ʻoluʻolu e lokomaikaʻi iā mākou me ko lākou alo ʻino i loko; ʻO Maleficent, ka Mōʻī Wahine ʻino, Mōʻīwahine o nā Puʻuwai, a kahi helehelena nui loa ʻole a Mr. Oogie Boogie ponoʻī. Ua lawa ia e ʻōlelo, ua loaʻa iaʻu kahi geek ponoʻī i waho i ka manawa i puka aku ai kēlā me kēia ʻano, a like like ka hauʻoli o ka poʻe me aʻu.

Inā koho ʻoe ʻaʻole e komo i ka Gala aia kekahi mau panela ʻē aʻe i hiki iā ʻoe ke komo me ka uku komo komo i komo pū me ka lumi o ka mea kūʻai aku. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe poʻe malihini weliweli a nā mea helehelena, ua hui hou nā panela me ke kumuhana o Spooky Days i ka Pāka i hoʻopiha i ka papa kuhikuhi; ʻo ka mea ʻoi loa ka nānā ʻia ʻana o He lapuwale Mortals: He Haumana Haumana Documentary.

Ua alakaʻi ʻia kēia pepa moʻolelo e James H. Carter II a me ka mea hoʻopuka ʻo Ryan Grulich i ka premiere Orlando ma Spooky Days i ka Pāka i ka pō Pōʻalima a hōʻike hou i ke awakea Pōʻaono. Hōʻike ka ʻāpana i ka hana ʻana o ka Haunted Mansion ʻumeʻume a me ka moʻomeheu fan e pili ana i ka holo. He mea hoʻopā ke ʻike i ka manaʻo nui o kēia holo i kekahi poʻe, inā paha ua hāʻawi iā lākou i ka manawa hou e ʻike ai i ka wā kamaliʻi a lākou i haʻalele ai, a hoʻohuli i kā lākou ʻoihana kiʻi, a i ʻole hāʻawi wale iā lākou i kahi makemake hou e pīhoihoi.

ʻO nā hanana ʻē aʻe i loko o ka hopena pule i hoʻopili ʻia; kahi hōʻike hoʻonaninani Disney Bounding, ka "Grim Twist" ma nā Kamāliʻiwahine Disney (ʻaʻole ia no ka puʻuwai,) a me kahi podcast ola e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka ʻaoʻao creepier o Disney.

ʻO nā lā Spooky i ka Pāka kahi hanana weliweli loa ia na ke keiki i loko o mākou āpau i pau i ke ala ʻeleʻele o nā mea hoihoi iā mākou, ʻo ia hoʻi nā lawehala Disney. ʻOiai ka helu haʻahaʻa o ka hele ʻana, keu hoʻi i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana iā Spooky Empire o nā ʻaha i hala, e keakea ana i kona hoʻi ʻana i ka makahiki aʻe e hoʻomanaʻo mau mākou i nā hanana o kēia makahiki.
