Disneyland Halloween PicSpam!

[dwgm]

Went to Disneyland today with gingersnapps and admired the Halloween decorations. Here's a holiday picspam from the Magic Kingdom.



California Adventure! Note the candy corn A's. :D








Bat Arch




Lamp Posts by the Tower of Terror




Fall Decorations




Grizzly Mountain




Banner for the Golden Screams Awards Show -- very cute, and worth seeing






From Cars...






Then on to the Magic Kingdom...

These were over the entrance.











The Mickey in flowers in front of the train station is now made of lots of orange and white mini-pumpkins.





Peripheral decorations -- they'll be prettier when the mums bloom fully as the pumpkin design will then be orange.





Main Street Lamp Posts now look like this...






Candy corn colored bunting, fall flowers and foliage, and carved pumpkins are everywhere...












There's a big Mickey pumpkin in town square...





Castmembers only through this door...








In the central plaza there are still more carved pumpkins, one for each land...


















Frontierland and "Woody's Halloween Roundup"






Don't know what kind of plant this is, but we thought it interesting...























Great Pumpkin Carver!










Another interesting plant...




We went on the Columbia and were entertained by this pirate...






He wore an unusual timepiece...




The Haunted Mansion is dressed up for Nightmare Before Halloween. Such fun!




















It's too bad one can't take pix inside the ride -- it's so well done, really transforms the original ride quite completely.

Went over to the new Port Royal pirate store -- pirate swag in abundance there and at Pieces of Eight, which is the next store over.




These bottles were hanging from the ceiling inside the store -- pretty!



gingersnapps ran out of room on her camera after that, so no more pix. We went and had lunch at the Blue Bayou (the Trio of Creme Brulee is great!), then went on the Pirates ride, admired the Jack Sparrow walk-around (as did a long line of females waiting to have their picture taken with him), then bought coconut cashew brittle and made our departure. A lovely fall day!

I want more! I just saw these. I'm going to WDW for Halloween and am SO excited.

What is the Golden Screams show?

[geekmama.livejournal.com]

Maybe they have it at MGM at WDW. It's a little show in which the audience is supposed to pick the cartoon villain that has the best scream. It's very cute. See it, if you get a chance.

I do envy you going to WDW for Halloween. I'd like to go back there, one of these days. It's been ten years since I was there.

I've never been to WDW for Halloween so I'm stoked.

However, I'm envious of you for the NBC Haunted Holiday overlay. I've been dying to see that for YEARS. And the only time I've been to California, I didn't go to Disneyland. *big fat frown*

The NBC overlay is so well done -- I'm always impressed with how thoroughly the Mansion is transformed. There was some question about whether they'd do it this year -- something about the contract having run out -- but I'm very happy they worked it out and brought it back.

They don't do it at WDW though? Makes it even more special for us, but it's a long commute for you. But I'm sure they have lots to make up for it back there.
