The video opens with the voice (and text) of the Ghost Host:

The video also introduced the Madame Leota and Disney Pirate voice, inviting viewers to “send [them] messages from somewhere beyond.”
Many creators on the platform have already risen to the challenge. Here are some of Disney’s featured videos:

4 Steps to Use Disney’s New TikTok Text-to-Speech Voices
- Create a new post using the + button
- Edit the video/image and hit “Next”
- Tap “Text” and add your caption and then tap “Text-to-speech” button
- Select the Disney voice you’d like to add
These voices are only available for a short time and in select countries. Find these text-to-speech voices for three months on TikTok in the U.S., Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia, and Singapore.
The Disney Parks Halloween is an experience unto itself. With this new collaboration, Disney is also allowing fans who may not be able to visit the Parks to still have a piece of the Disney magic. It also might be a good way to help TikTokers channel their creativity into a more acceptable form of Disney fun rather than climbing attractions or trespassing into restricted areas like they are often wont to do.
We at Disney Fanatic will continue to keep you updated on all Disney Parks news as it comes to light.
