“To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.” - Walt Disney

not so Frightening Fridays 2

not so Frightening Fridays
 
 
 Let's continue looking at Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort.
Review part one here.
 
As we enter under the Railroad Station it is apparent that Halloween has invaded Main Street USA.
 
Lampposts all have banners and pumpkin Mickeys
 
The Opera House sports candy corn colored banners
 

Carved pumpkins adorn either side of the entrance
 
Even the Mad Hatter shop gets into the Halloween act.
 
Pumpkin wear hats? I love the Davey Crokett hat on the right. 

 
The Mickey photo spot near the parade gate is
all decorated up for the Fall holiday.
 
 
Giant Pumpkin Mickey sits squarely front and center
in Town Square. PhotoPass photographers
are staged to take memorable photos.
 
Front of pumpkin - facing train station
 
Back of pumpkin - facing castle
 
The Emporium has banners and pumpkins
 


Disney Showcase
 
Windows contain more pumpkins ...
 
...and kids costumes are featured.
 
T-shirts highlight Perry and hidden Mickey
 
Even more kids outfits and accessories
 
As we continue down Main Street almost all of the
buildings have banners and pumpkins adorning them.
 
 
 
And finally, we reach the hub. Each year at the base of the iconic Partners statue we get a series of carved pumpkins that celebrate each of the different lands of Disneyland. Each of the light-up pumpkins feature a character we might find in that land. Coincidentally, the placement of each pumpkin is important, as each faces the land that it represents.
 
 
Tomorrowland - Buzz Lightyear
 
Toontown - Roger Rabit
 
Fantasyland - Tinkerbell
 
Critter Country - Winnie the Pooh
 
Frontierland - Woody
 
New Orleans Square - Jack Skellington
 
Adventureland - Tarzan
 
 
Join us again next Friday for part three. We will stroll into Frontierland.
