Grim grinning ghosts are out to socialize in the Disney Parks, and they are looking to celebrate the spooky season with you! If there’s one thing the Disney Parks take seriously, it’s the holidays. From decorations to special events to seasonal menu items, tons of new things have hit the Parks as we head towards Halloween.
The Disneyland Resort in California is home to grand celebrations, including Oogie Boogie Bash and the ornately decorated Haunted Mansion Holiday. Beginning September 1 each year, the Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction is decorated top to bottom by Jack Skellington, with inspiration from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
