It's a little tougher to plan around something that is up for 15 months than Halloween decorations. That argument would be valid for seasonal things but not for things like the Castle cake.

Where's the love for Jack Skellington at the Haunted Mansion in WDW?

I wasn't referring to the Castle cake. I should have been more clear, sorry about that.

This wouldn't happen for me personally, because I would research when these kinds of things would go up and not plan to go during that time.
I'm not getting anywhere here. To the OP, I'm sorry WDW doesn't offer HMH for Nightmare fans like you and I hope you have the chance to make it to DL or TDL to experience it! Halloween at Disneyland seems perfect for you. Jack Skellington sort of becomes the mascot for the resort during the season, and even makes an appearance in the firework show, including Zero.

Oh wow that's awesome! Thanks for that!

See, now that is fantastic! The conversation got sidetracked about the cake, but that's what I meant in an earlier post about not overstepping the charm of the original. The cake was gaudy, and while it was cute and fun, I can completely understand why it turned people off.
For halloween, I think this would work better at Hollywood studios then magic kingdom, but I've never been to a MNNSHP either...so, it may be perfect!
Loved the pictures!

I definitely suggest you visit either MK or DL for Halloween! It's a lot of fun, unless you don't really like Halloween LOL. Glad you like the photos!
PS- The cake caste was horrible, IMO.

I think since MK doesn't do HMH, the least they could do is get Jack and Sally in the park. I heard they're not in the park, is this true?

Merchandise is available, but that's about it. However, I go in August, so someone who does Oct regularly would have a better idea.
I'm a fan of the characters and wouldn't mind seeing them included...the reason I brought up HS is that park is extremely droll. It's changed missions so often that now its a hodge pudge of attractions with little unifying theme. It's still better then Animal Kingdom in my book...but outside of the Osborne Lights, is nothing special.
People rave about Fantasmic here, but I found it underwhelming. Nothing like the amazing Celebration V Star Wars Last Tour to Endor fireworks in 2010.
It does have the Osborne Lights, so including something like this pre-Christmas would be loads of fun I think.

How is the merchandise? Do they go all out with the Nightmare theme? I bet I can already answer that question.
I think it was last week, I had asked about DHS's theme. I was so confused. I think you should sit down one day and YouTube Disneyland's Fantasmic! and notice the differences.

It's shoved into corners of various shops...as you would suspect.
I have compared the two Fantasmics, and I agree, the DLC version is superior.

Yes, I figured that. I knew I didn't have to ask. Thanks for replying.

That's great that it wouldn't happen to you, but for many people it would. Often times the ONLY time people can take a destination/once-in-a-lifetime trip is during the holidays. For instance, my fiancé (now wife) was working in Japan for a year, and the only time I was able to visit her was Christmas. This meant that I saw the Haunted Mansion Nightmare Before Christmas overlay during what was likely my only trip to Japan. From my understanding Tokyo Disney is primarily repeat visitors like DL, so even though I would have like to see their normal HM, it makes sense for them to do the overlay. I still think that the number of one-time visitors to WDW plays a large part in there being no holiday overlay.

Agreed. Even on my first trip in 2009 (which I thought was going to be my only trip), I went to MK to see the castle, not HM. Don't get me wrong, HM is one of my favorite rides! But I wouldn't be upset if they made it over for halloween.

I actually enjoy that the parks have differences. It makes a trip to go see the other parks even more enticing. I do WDW often because it is geographically convenient to me...but a trip out to DLC, not to mention the other DLs is on my bucket list. I'd hate to go out there and get the same experience for much more cost.
