The Disney Frontier Blog

Now, we knew that October is generally a great month to visit Disneyland. Great weather, lower volume crowds. But as we booked our recent trip at sort-of-the-last-minute, and Oct. 28th through Oct. 31st was the only Saturday through Tuesday we could get at the hotel, we had some doubts. Would it be too crowded there? Would we miss Halloween at home, trick-or-treating in our neighborhood and answering the door? Would a holiday weekend in Disneyland be WAY too much stimulation for our three-year-old and ten-month-old daughters?

It turned out there was no basis for any of our worries. We had a glorious time. We didn’t miss Halloween at home because we were experiencing something really unique and special in Disneyland. And, since we roomed on the property, our little ones even got a decent nap every day and were in bed only a bit later than their normal bedtimes. I’d return to Disneyland on Halloween weekend in a heartbeat!

Here’s photographic evidence of some of the decorations that Disneyland festoons Main Street with. They call it “HalloweenTime” and it set the stage for some super-fun holiday frivolity. Josh and the family should be getting excited, because if Christmas is celebrated with as much gusto, they’ll have a real blast!
