For today's Disney Flashback we decided to highlight something that is constantly "flashing back" to us, since it appears each and every year around this time! Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is quite possibly our favorite time of the year. There's a new feeling in the air, a new atmosphere if you will; the villains are front and center, there are new attractions and shows to see that really put you in a festive, albeit naughty mood, and it's just plain fun to be around Disneyland when all of this is going on.
Hands down, though, one of our favorite attractions this time of year is when The Haunted Mansion is all transformed and "Tim Burton-ed" into the Haunted Mansion Holiday, featuring Jack Skellington and all of our friends from the Disney classic, "The Nightmare Before Christmas".
We know that a lot of people feel very strongly about this attraction one way or the other, and that the feelings on it run from "We hate it, bring back the classic!" to "We love it, never bring back the classic!", and we're definitely somewhere in the middle. We would fight tooth and nail to see the classic return to us every winter, but we're also not too ashamed to say that we look forward to Jack roaming the halls again each and every Halloween.
And it's almost that time again! Halloween has snuck up on us really quickly this year, and it's almost time for the transformation to be complete. We didn't even realize it until we were at Disneyland earlier this week and noticed that The Haunted Mansion was down for refurbishments. As soon as saw it, though, we could feel the excitement coursing through our veins! When this article publishes on our blog, it will be 7 days (September 16) and counting until Halloween at Disneyland! We can't wait to get out there and enjoy all that this time of year has to offer and share it with everyone on the blog.
We know this is last year's picture, but it is a Flashback after all
So, are you as excited for Halloween at Disneyland as we are? We'll be writing about everything going on at Disneyland all month long and hope everyone will be along for the ride, because it's going to be a great one! For more information on Halloween Time at Disneyland, be sure and check out the official site at http://www.disneyland.com/halloween.
And look for more information, pictures and thoughts on Haunted Mansion Holiday throughout the season. We can't wait!

Love, love, love, LOVE Halloween Time at Disneyland. I'll be there Sept 17 and can't wait to ride Haunted Mansion with Jack and friends. Thanks for posting!
Very cool flashback. Halloween is our 2nd favorite holiday.And we love Jack, it would be great to see the Haunted Mansion transformed out at DL. We will get there someday.
PS. I love the picture from last year that's my birthday Sept 17. too funny!
Halloween at Disneyland has been on my family's wish list for a LONG time- my 2 DSs are Nightmare Before Christmas nuts. (It's tough to swing because of the school schedule.) Your upcoming photos will be the next best thing! Hope all is well- DM
Awesome! Know that you'll love it P.T. :) You're quite welcome! :)
Thanks Diane :)
It's truly something to experience - we know that a lot of people don't like it, but don't count ourselves among them.
And that is AWESOME! Happy early birthday! :)
Thanks DM :)
We'll be sure to post up lots of photos for you to enjoy and feel like you're there right alongside us :)
Yay I love Halloween-time at DL! For some reason, I've been able to experience the season multiple times even though I'm only there once or twice a year. I do like the classic ride, but I have to admit that as long as I can only make it out annually, it wouldn't break my heart if I got to see Jack every time. :)
I'll be watching your blog for more on Halloween at Disneyland...I've never been during that time of year!
Halloween time at Disneyland is the best of all the seasons! All I can say is Yeah Buddy! Great post :-)
Totally excited. I can't wait. Also M isn't afraid of the Mansion when Jack takes over! :)
Sounds like you've gotten lucky, Alyssa! That's so awesome!
I think that's a great attitude you have there - I think we can definitely get behind that. We love the original, but if we had to pick... well, it'd be pretty close! ;)
We'll have lots of pictures, posts and all we can think of Monica - count on it! Hope you'll keep coming back :)
Sure is, Eric! :)
Thanks a whole lot! ;)
Neither can we, Sarah! We'll have to try and ride it together at some point this year :)
Awesomesauce that M can ride it too! :)
