Halloween at Disneyland!
It’s my favorite time of year, Halloween! Ghosts, witches, skeletons and best of all candy. What better place for the child in you than to spend it at Disneyland?
On Friday, September 26th, the happiest place on earth kicked off the holiday season with their tribute to Halloween. The focal point of the day was at the Haunted Mansion which has gone through a transformation in honor of Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas. Every aspect of the mansion, from the exterior to the ride itself, glorifies the eccentric but lovable film.
For those of you that love Jack Skellington and are a fan of Tim Burton’s animated movie honoring Halloween and Christmas, you’ll find Disneyland did a fantastic job in its dedication. This annual metamorphosis of the mansion was well attended not only by the public but a conglomerate of radio stations broadcasting live from just outside the mansion. These broadcasters came from all over the state, from Sacramento and Fresno in the north to San Diego in the south.
Not only is the mansion decked out for Halloween but the entire park as well, from the parking structure to the popcorn vendors, there are Halloween decorations galore. The letters “A” in the California Adventure sign have been turned into giant candy corn in the signature triangular yellow and pale orange stripes plus everywhere you look there are pumpkins. Even the popcorn machines have a little goblin inside them turning and churning the mixture. You can also indulge in decorated treats as the candy shop has plenty, including candy apples, festooned in edible Halloween decor.
In October, the park is also offering a special event called Mickey’s Trick-or-Treat Party. This is ideal for parents with children, especially young ones. It’s held at California Adventure and costs $29 dollars per ticket, if purchased in advance. There will be trick-or-treating, crafts and special activities, along with your favorite characters dressed for the occasion. Attendance is limited and some of the dates have already sold out. The price is perfect and affordable for families and includes free parking for one vehicle.
If you’re a Halloween fanatic like myself or you just love Disneyland, take a trip on down to the Magic Kingdom this holiday season!

My SO and I are shooting for next weekend to head down to “the happiest place on earth” to start off October right. I’ve been on the Mansion renovation since its start in 2001 (I believe), and it’s come a long way. Perhaps there was an issue with music rights during the first year, but they’ve since then remedied it and it now reflects the film well. We’re going for that as much as the amazing decor on Main Street.
Thanks for the mention!
