Disneyland Gets All Decked Out For Halloween Time!

As our series of Halloween Time posts winds down for this year, we're heading back into Disneyland Park one final time for some pictures.  Truth be told, we could fill our blog up with literally thousands of pictures every Halloween season, but we've tried this year to highlight some of our very favorites.  The ones we've decided to include in today's post are probably the spots that we love the most during Halloween Time at The Resort.  They're here every year, and are the spots we most find ourselves saying "I can't wait to see that!" in the in-between months when we're waiting for Halloween Time to roll around again.


It just doesn't get any cooler than a giant Mickey pumpkin on Main Street





These decorative pumpkins are possibly our favorite things to picture every year. They're set around the Partners Statue on Main Street USA and for what are probably obvious reasons, are just some of the coolest things that Halloween Time has to offer. We waffle, however, on whether Jack Skellington or Roger Rabbit is our favorite.













We also love Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) decor and celebration at Zocalo Park in Frontierland.  It's something we look forward to seeing every year, and even though we have dozens of pictures of it already, we just can't help ourselves year after year.  Definitely worth seeing if you're ever at Disneyland during Halloween Time, and they typically have face-painting for the kiddies to boot!



We hope that you've today's pictures.  Mark will be here tomorrow with a very special Nerd "D" post created especially for Halloween, so you'll definitely want to check that out!  We hope that everyone has a very Happy Halloween, and that you get all the goodies and treats you can handle.

Thanks for wandering with us this week, and it should go without saying at this point, if you ever get the chance to visit Disneyland during Halloween Time, do it!  You won't be sorry.

Back Into Big Thunder Ranch at Disneyland's Halloween Time - Almost Wordless Wednesday



Last week we took you into one of our favorite areas to visit in Disneyland Park during our annual Halloween Time celebration, to show you some of our favorite pumpkin carvings from this year's batch.  Today, we're going to take a very short detour from our Mickey's Halloween Party series, and take you back into Big Thunder Ranch for some more of the sights from a recent trip inside.  One of our favorite places to hang out during normal times is Miss Chris' Cabin, which is transformed during Halloween into what we call "The Scare-Dy-Crow Shack" with all kinds of seasonal goodness going on inside.  Come along with us as we show you some of our favorites this year from "The Shack".  Enjoy!

No longer Miss Chris' Cabin; welcome to "The Shack"!

ANY sign of Jack is cool with us, but a hand-carved original? Too cool!

This may in fact be Miss Chris. We're just not sure...

The two "Jacks" always have SOMETHING up their sleeves...

The Cowboy "Jacks" which fill the cabin really bring a lot to the celebration

The inside decor is just awesomely perfect!

The mantle itself is totally decked out for the occasion...

...while the fireplace itself takes on a new and rather creepy glow

Cowboy "Jack" outside The Scare-Dy-Crow

Random pumpkin carvings little the entire area. Awesome!

Big Thunder Ranch at Disneyland's Halloween Time - Almost Wordless Wednesday


We've never even tried to pretend that the Holiday celebrations at the Disneyland Resort aren't some of our favorite times to be inside The Parks. There's just something a little extra magical and special about these times of the year, and Halloween might just be our favorite.  One of our favorite places to hang during the Halloween season is the Big Thunder Ranch "Halloween Roundup" in Frontierland, and over the next couple of weeks in our "Wordless" articles, we're going to show you why.  We hope you enjoy seeing the magic just as much as we do.  Have fun!

The Scary and the Tasty - Almost Wordless Wednesday

We've spent the last couple of weekends roaming Disneyland Park enjoying all of the new sights and sounds that go along with the Halloween Time season at The Resort.  With our trusty pocket cameras in tow (also known as cell phones) we've been snapping off random shots of just about everything that struck our fancy; so, of course, they're now making their way here!

You'll find some pictures here from the newly installed, "one of our favorites" Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, and we spent some time this past weekend hanging out in the Village Haus restaurant and you'll find some of that here as well.

One of the things we most enjoy doing on other blogs is simply taking in all of the pictures and random shots people nab from all over the Disney Parks, and that's exactly what we try to recreate here: the random wonder of a day in The Park.  We hope we're successful and that you enjoy!
