Before the Trick or Treaters are at your doorstep, here are a few fun tips for bringing the Magic of a Disneyland Halloween home […]

Lest any rogue spirits come creeping in the night, The Pumpkin King stands guard, each year, over the festivities at Haunted Mansion Holiday…

Sometimes you just have to bring the Magic home… like when you’re 1,000 miles from the closest Magic!  There’s a wonderful Christmas shop right by my house that has a whole room of villages displayed.  There is, of course, a Mickey Christmas village, but this year there was a little Halloween treat added as well.

Thanks again to Deb at Focused on the Magic for hosting this week’s Disney Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop!  In the spirit of the season, here’s a pic from one of my favorite shops in Disneyland.  The Disneyland Showcase is always decked out for the current celebration, be it Halloween or a new merchandise promotion.

From Top Left to Bottom Right: Looking through the Hub to Tomorrowland… Jack Skellington front and center. The Haunted Dapper Dans. Mickey above the turn-styles. Ray Bradbury’s Halloween Tree in Frontierland. A familiar figure in […]
