It is no secret that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I think because October is my birthday month and because I had Halloween themed birthday parties when I was a kid. My parents always made Halloween extra special by making ghosts to put in the trees in our front yard and by making sure I had the cutest Halloween costume around. Now that I have kids of my own I want Halloween to be extra special for them as well. A special Halloween tradition that I would love to start with them is a yearly trip to Halloween Time at Disneyland. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my favorite time of year than taking them to my favorite place, Disneyland.

During Halloween Time, Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Parks transforms into a cheerfully spooky, family-friendly Halloween environment starting Friday, September 12 thru October, 31. Main Street, U.S.A., in Disneyland is transformed for the Pumpkin Festival, with hundreds of pumpkins on display, no two of them the same. Jack Skellington takes over the Haunted Mansion making it the Haunted Mansion Holiday by mixing Halloween with Christmas, inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas. Space Mountain turn into Space Mountain Galaxy, and so much more! Plus Mickey Mouse and his friends dress up in adorable Halloween costumes and Disney Villains will also be making special appearances. Talk about fun photography opportunities!
