'Twas a long time ago,
Even longer now than it seems,
In a place that perhaps
You've seen in your dreams
For the story that you are about to be told
Began with the holiday worlds of old
I know you're curious to see what's inside
It's what happens when two holidays collide
As you arrive at Disneyland Park, you’ll be greeted with by the famous ‘Mickey Planter’ as it’s transformed into a canvas of pumpkins and even Mickey is wearing a mask for the celebration. You'll see oversized pumpkin versions of Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Pluto and Goofy on display.
Main Street will be the site of the "Pumpkin Festival." Here you'll be greeted by the Queen of the Pumpkin Festival, Miss Cobbler as well as Constable Jackie O'Leary.
In Town Square there's the 12 foot high Mickey ‘jack-o-lantern’ complete with pumpkin ears. Main Street USA will feature over 300 carved pumpkins on display in the shop windows. Colorful orange and yellow bunting will adorn the Victorian architecture. Surrounding the ‘Partners’ statue of Walt and Mickey will be pumpkins inspired by Disney characters.
 The Haunted Mansion has been transformed into a Tim Burton ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ theme. If you’ve never seen the Haunted Mansion Holiday make sure to include it in your plans this holiday season, you won’t be sorry!
 Haunted Mansion Holiday Pictures
For the first time, Disneyland offers a Halloween fireworks show! "Halloween Screams - A Villainous Surprise in the Skies" features Jack Skellington as the show's host. Flames, fireworks and music all come together to make this a don't-miss show.
The character will have a different look when they join in the spirit of the season and appear in their Halloween costumes. Of course, the Disney Villains will be out in full force at both parks to celebrate their favorite time of year.
 Disney’s California Adventure is also getting into the Halloween ‘spirit’ as the 11 foot tall ‘CALIFORNIA’ entrance is transformed into giant pieces of candy corn.
‘Disney’s Halloween Treat’, begins on October 3rd at the California Adventure theme park. This year again promises to be full of ‘ghoulish’ delights for everyone.
Goofy's 'Candy Corn Acres.' On display will be Goofy's Halloween Horticulture. You'll see candy corn carrots, candy corn pumpkins and candy corn coconuts in his garden grove.
You'll want to watch for the Disney Villains as this is their time of year and they WILL be out in full force. And as if it’s even possible, ‘The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror’ will also take on an even more frightening presence with new Halloween décor. But, watch out for the new hotel staff members, who will be visiting for the holiday. Pictures
