Disney’s HalloweenTime, that is! The resort-wide celebration returns for its third year. I was there for the official first day on Friday.
It’s one of my favorite times of year – I love all of the decorations all over both of the parks, with all of the pumpkins and colorful autumn flowers and foliage. And they also have lots of special holiday food treats, like pumpkin muffins, white-chocolate covered ghost marshmallows on a stick, and caramel apples decorated like jack-o-lanterns.
The huge character pumpkin heads are back over the park entrance, as are the candy corn “A’s” in DCA’s “CALIFORNIA”.
Main Street is decorated with garlands in fall colors, and jack-o-lanterns peer from rooftops and windows.
It wouldn’t be Halloween at Disneyland without Haunted Mansion Holiday!. Jack Skellington and the Halloweentown gang have again decorated the Haunted Mansion with their own “nightmarish” version of Christmas. I didn’t like the movie but I really love what they do with the Nightmare Before Christmas overlay on the Haunted Mansion.
Sometimes there are a few changes in the decorations, but I didn’t notice anything new this year.
Zocalo Plaza in Frontierland once again has the colorful Dia de los Muertos decorations.
And Woody, Jessie and Bullseye have returned to Woody’s Halloween Roundup in the Big Thunder Ranch area. And even the goats in the petting corral have gotten into the Halloween “spirit”, and were all wearing Halloween-themed bandanas.
Over at Disney’s California Adventure the Candy Corn theme is back, with large kernels hanging from the bridge at the park entrance.
And Goofy’s Candy Corn Acres returns to Sunshine Plaza, with all of the various candy corn varieties, like candy corn tomatoes, candy corn grapes, and even candy corn cactus.
Heimlich pops up from time to time, as he apparently attempts to eat his way through the blue ribbon winning candy corn kernel.
Disney’s HalloweenTime runs through November 2. Haunted Mansion Holiday will remain in place until sometime in January.
