[nemofinder22]

As it seems a tradition around here to have a yearly thread dedicated to all things Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort.

The official Halloween Time site is now live,
http://disneyland.disney.go.com/events/halloween-time/#/home

Dates
Halloween Time spans- Sept 16-Oct 31

Mickey's Halloween Party, takes place on-
Sept 30
Oct. 3, 7,11, 14, 18, 21, 25, 28, 31

It doesn't appear to be anything new this year, which is kinda sad, we were on a kinda steady roll since it first made its debut in 2006.

From Disney Insider and Disney Parks Youtube Channel heres a small behind the scenes look at the Main Street decorations. Mainly the pumpkins.

Keep an eye out for more updates to this thread, from the Pumpkins on the turnstiles, window displays, Halloween Round Up, the Halloween tree in Frontierland and all the way to the beautiful Mums planted all over Main Street.

Even Maleficent entering the mansion is new I wish they added Dr.Facilier and a 2d traditional art Mother Gothel in the commercial.

Great pictures! ^^^

I haven't had a chance to ride Ghost Galaxy yet this year, but I did get a ride in on Haunted Mansion Holiday. It looks and feels as fabulous as ever. The gingerbread house this year is actually a model of the actual Haunted Mansion! It's a neat effect when the mansion bursts open and shows its haunted heart, and the smell is divine.

I found this fairly good YouTube ride-through video of the overall frivolity and excitement that is Disneyland's Haunted Mansion 2011, including a great shot of the new gingerbread house in the Ballroom Scene. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDBGWsoD3jQ

The fun guys over at Westcoaster.net have a HalloweenTime update going now too. The park looks great, and I've always thought this growing embrace of Halloween is a nice way to bring summer to an end and introduce something new and fun.

http://www.westcoaster.net/updates.php?updateCD=091911&page=1

For the first time in about nine months, the Haunted Mansion actually has a long line to get in and big crowds around it! Welcome to the eleventh year of Haunted Mansion Holiday, a Disneyland classic since 2001.

I hope the small world rumors are true.

Sorry for a lack of Halloween Time updates, but really quick Dr. Facilier was out at the Villains meet and greet. during the day too.
