in Disneyland Resort, The Walt Disney Company, Theme Parks

The Headless Horseman statue, clutching a glowing pumpkin head and astride a dramatic rearing horse, dominates the plaza at Disney California Adventure during Halloween Time, immersing guests in the park’s spooky seasonal transformation.

Prior to this year at Disneyland Resort, the Halloween Time offerings at Disney California Adventure have been close to nonexistent. Usually the bulk of the fall decorations, unique character costumes, and spooky-themed treats have been confined to the original Disneyland theme park across the esplanade, with California Adventure waiting until Christmastime to go all-out for a specific holiday season.

Now, in addition to the amazing Cars Land Haul-O-Ween and Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark attractions, DCA has been decked out for the scariest time of year up and down Buena Vista Street and out to the park’s main entrance, where the menacing Oogie Boogie from “The Nightmare Before Christmas” greets guests with a creepy smile.
