Today at Disney California Adventure: Halloween Time

This year Disney California Adventure is decorated for Halloween Time, for the first time since the days of Candy Corn Acres a decade ago, before the park's big remodel.

Although I enjoy the "cute" Halloween Time decor at Disneyland, I'm more ambivalent about the slightly spookier seasonal overlay at California Adventure...although the new Headless Horseman statue on Buena Vista Street is fantastic. The crowds were such tonight I couldn't get any closer for a better photo of it...hopefully next month!

Here are some photos of the new decorations, starting with the park entrance. I'm not a fan of THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS...but the moon showing up in the photo is a nice "extra"!

The bats at the Carthay Circle look somewhat...messy...

...although the effect is better by dark:

The wires in the photos, for anyone wondering, are for the Red Car Trolley. A nice touch of authenticity, although they tend to get in the way of some Buena Vista Street photos!

Rock Candy Mountain in the window at Trolley Treats had seasonal candy added, a nice touch:

Cars Land is a major focal point for the new decorations, as Radiator Springs celebrates "Haul-O-Ween":

Back on Buena Vista Street, the lights at the fountain were my favorite thing, other than the Headless Horseman:

It's hard to believe it will be October this Sunday. Have a great weekend!
