Halloween Time at Disneyland: A Festive Fall Event!

One of my favorite childhood memories was of one Sunday morning years ago when I was probably 10 or 11. With no warning, my parents surprised us and told us we were going to Disneyland that day.  It was one of the best days ever.

So when my family was invited to experience Halloween Time at Disneyland for a special family media day last weekend, because of this fond memory, we thought it would be fun to surprise our girls.

I love fall in Orange County. I love fall period.

My birthday is in the fall, my anniversary is in the fall, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I just love everything about this season.

When we walked into Main Street U.S.A last Saturday, with the slightly cooler temperatures and fall decor, I was transported to my happy place.

Thousands of pumpkins and beautiful fall decor everywhere – fall had arrived and this festive fall event is one not to be missed!
