HalloweenTime at Disneyland

From mid-September through the end of October, it's HalloweenTime at Disneyland, and Main Street is all decked out for the occasion. Similar in some ways to the Fall Festival in the Magic Kingdom (which I previously covered in this article), Main Street at Disneyland celebrates the season with lots of bright orange and yellow bunting and jack-o-lanterns in the shop windows.

There are also plenty of unique touches, like this enormous Mickey-inspired pumpkin sculpture at the north corner of Town Square. Look closely, you'll notice the fact that Mickey is winking at us, and there's a healthy dose of Pixie Dust carved into the pumpkins at the base.

At the other end of Main Street in the Central Plaza, the familiar "Partners" statue is accompanied by a selection of pumpkins on pedestals. It's as if the residents of Disneyland's seven realms have come together in a pumpkin carving contest. There's a Tarzan pumpkin for Adventureland and Jack Skellington for New Orleans Square, while Woody and Winnie the Pooh represent Frontierland and Critter Country.

Tinker Bell adorns the pumpkin from Fantasyland. Roger Rabbit represents Mickey's Toontown, and Buzz Lightyear's mug can be found on the Tomorrowland entry. What's more, if you peek around to the back side of the pumpkins, you'll discover other small details that enhance each one. The Jack Skellington pumpkin has a flurry of bats carved into the back, and there are little bumblebees on the Critter Country one.

Best of all, these masterpieces of pumpkin art all light up at night, creating a fun and fanciful environment in the Hub for the park's Halloween festivities.
