On a recent trip to Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park, we discovered that Halloween decor and theming have been added in various locations.
Halloween Decor at Disneyland Resort
In our last update, we reported that Oogie Boogie had taken his place above the Disney California Adventure Park entrance. More festive decorations have now been added around him.
The bats near his arms now shoot out beyond the spires he sits between. Black hills have been installed beneath him. Jack-o’-lanterns with orange spooky faces have been added to the hills. Their stems are long and curling.
On the other side of the moon, Oogie Boogie still smiles down at guests. However, a black feature has been added beneath him. In our last update, there was a metal frame below him.
Purple banners and bats have been added all around Buena Vista Street. The banners are present on multiple walls of the Information Station on Buena Vista Street. More flags have been hung from the balcony above the building’s first-floor roof.
Black bats have been added to the wall above the women’s restroom.
We found the same purple flags at the entrances of many buildings in Disney California Adventure. Here they are above the entrance of Los Feliz Five & Dime.
They’ve also been added beneath the Oswald’s Tires marquee. These flags are in the same locations as they were last year.
At Elias & Co., banners hang beneath the “Elias & Company” marquee. There are also thin purple flags around the top of the circular building.
Flags have been added beneath the marquee at the other entrance of Elias & Co. Long banners hang on either side of the gold entryway. Bats sit atop each banner.
Long purple banners have been hung along the lampposts on Buena Vista Street. Bats have been inserted beneath the lights on both sides of the structure.
A large bat has been installed on the side of the bridge near Big Top Toys. Bats atop purple banners sit on either side of the larger bat. These banners are the same as those found at Elias & Co., which helps to illustrate the size of the central bat.
Two more storefronts have been decorated with bats and flags. At Mortimer’s Market, flags have been installed beneath both of the store’s awnings. Bats have been placed on the tower next to the building.
A small purple banner stretches along the top of the Julius Katz & Sons marquee. A bat is stationed between windows above the entryway.
Flags and bats also decorate the balconies up and down Buena Vista Street.
Bats fly out of the windows at the top of Carthay Circle Restaurant. The giant hanging banners that are normally found here have not yet been implemented.
As we strolled down Hollywood Boulevard, we noticed purple flags and bats hanging off the sides of tall lampposts.
Cars Land is decorated for the festivities as well. The “Happy Haul-O-Ween from Cars Land” sign has been installed at the entrance of the land. Garland hangs from the top of the structure.
The letters in “Cars Land” show off festive imagery. A car wearing a hat rides a broomstick in front of a full moon.
The witch scarecrow car is back in front of the sign for another year. The car has been created from stitched-together burlap. The witch’s smile is made from a strand of old license plates, while the eyes are old hubcaps.
The witch’s hair is made from shredded tires. A black and orange cone sits atop the “hair” serving as the witch’s hat.
Thematic movie posters have been added once again. One shows a group of cars fleeing monstrous contraptions in fear. The film is called “Attack of the Space Zombies From Planet B.” In “Hokus Spokus”, three cars ride broomsticks through the air in front of a full moon. Three cars in ghostly coloring sit in front of a large mansion in the “Haulin’ Mansion” poster. The final poster depicts three cars attempting to escape a UFO. The film is called “Escape to Hitch Mountain.”
Chains crisscross each other to form a spiderweb in front of Flo’s V8 Cafe.
Chains have started to grow unruly dust on the neon Flo’s V8 Cafe sign.
The car in front of the cafe has received a spidery update. Eight long legs shoot out from various places on the black vehicle. The car has received an extra set of eyes as well.
There is one red spot on the back of the car. It sits between two rows of gears.
The motor oil cans near the entrance of the cafe have been painted orange and black to look like jack-o’-lanterns.
A wooden billboard now reads “Trunk or Treat.” Mater forms a sharp-toothed smile next to the orange words.
Each of the cones at the Cozy Cone Motel has received spooky faces. All have black eyes and mouths.
A particularly dismantled car has crashed into a tree. The grill has been damaged to make it look as though the car is screaming. Both headlights are shattered.
The car in front of Ramone’s House of Body Art has been decorated for Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). The car has a white toothy smile and blue, green, yellow, purple, and pink designs. Two yellow and blue flowers sit above the car’s mouth. Its black eyes have blue and pink flowers inside of them.
The Stanley statue in front of Radiator Springs Town Hall is now wearing a bent cone in the shape of a witch’s hat.
Behind him, the entrances in front of the three garage doors have also received some festive decor. Traffic cones line the ground and the top of each entryway to look like pointed teeth.
Over at the entrance of Disneyland Park, the Mickey floral has received its seasonal update. Mickey now wears an orange mask.
As guests walk down Main Street U.S.A., they should look up at the windows on the second floor of the buildings. Jack-o’-lanterns are now smiling down.
This pumpkin smiles out of a window on the second floor of Emporium.
In a large window above a green “Fresh Baked Goods” marquee, three jack-o’-lanterns peer down at the patrons below them.
A rather long pumpkin is stretched along most of the length of the “Farmers Land Co. Real Estate and Ins.” window.
Some decorations have been added in front of Westward Ho Trading Company in Frontierland. A cart is overflowing with gourds, apples, and festive foliage. A cat pops out of the top of one of three jack-o’-lanterns.
In another display, a scarecrow with a jack-o’-lantern head stands with its arms extended to its side. A child holds a jack-o’-lantern up to their face and looks at the scarecrow.
More Halloween decor should arrive at both Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park in the coming days. Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort officially begins on August 23. The date also marks the first night of the sold-out Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure.
