My Favorite Time of the Year
My favorite time
of year is coming!! The holiday season at Disney Parks is especially magical!
The lights, decorations, foods and entertainment is just amazing!
Starting in mid to
late September things start to change around the parks. At all Disney Parks
pumpkins start showing up and characters change into their Halloween costumes.
Entertainment takes on a kookier and spookier feel. The parks are decked in
black, brown and orange.
Things are even a
little more interesting at Disneyland where Space Mountain is taken over by a
Ghostly Monster and becomes Ghost Galaxy and Jack Skellington sends the 999
grim and grinning ghosts on a holiday and takes over the Haunted Mansion. Jack
decorates the Haunted Mansion inside and out and sets it up for a holiday bash,
both Halloween and Christmas crash!!!
The Ghost Galaxy
monster will be evicted after Halloween and the ride will be returned to its normal
Space Mountain. Jack Skellington and the crew from Halloween Town will vacate
the Haunted Mansion the first weekend in January and the Grim and Grinning Ghosts
will return the end of January early February.
Other amusement
parks (that shall remain nameless) have frightful Halloween events with
monsters and ghouls running amuck. Disney parks have a Not So Spooky feel with
classic Disney characters dressed in Halloween outfits. This is a great
alternative for the little kids or the bigger ones (including me) that go for
the kooky not the spooky.
Even now the parks
are getting ready for the Christmas! Snow will soon start showing on the
Castles turret roofs. Lights will begin to be added to the snow effect to make
it glow during the Christmas Season. WDW is stringing the Osborn Family
Christmas Lights and getting ready for Mickey’s Christmas Party. At Disneyland
It’s a Small World will become It’s a Small World Holiday with a fantastic
Holiday Overlay.
As soon as
Halloween is over Christmas decorations will start to go up throughout the
parks. Trees will be placed and made to sparkle. Music will be changed to enhance
the season. Just a walk down Main Street, Buena Vista Street or any area of any
Disney Park is magical during the Holiday Season.
This is my
FAVORITE time of year to be at the parks. I enjoy the sights, smells, sounds
and ride enhancements. I will go as many times as possible during the holidays.
My
Christmas book, “An Angel Remembers 25 Voices of Christmas” is available!!
This is a collection of 26 short Christmas stories that
together bring the amazing events of Christ’s birth alive. It is my hope that
this will help encourage families to spend 10-15 minutes a day together during
the busy holiday season remembering the true reason for the season.
