Those who will manage to exit the infamous estate will then be invited to hop over to Walt Disney Studios Park, where they will get to explore another mysterious place – The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. However, they should be warned that they may get transported into another dimension! Halloween festivities will also take over the Park’s restaurants and shops, where devilishly delicious food & beverage offerings and a range of fang-tastic souvenirs inspired by the different teams will be made available for the greatest pleasure of food and shopping enthusiasts.
