One of the special times to visit Disneyland is at Halloween…
As usual, we went with friends. Since Haunted Mansion Holiday is only for a limited time, we started off on it. The ride takes place under the hill behind the outside of the mansion. Disney decorated the passages with busts that can look at you.

There are singing flowers that we paused by after Haunted Mansion stopped. They do get annoying after a few minutes.

One of the main characters in the Haunted Mansion movie is Madame Leota. This is her head in the crystal ball.

When we finally got off Haunted Mansion, some of our friends were waiting at It’s a Small World. There was someone they met there so we went to go get ice cream at Clarabelle’s Ice Cream Parlor in California Adventure. We had a two scoop cone that we could barely finish eating!

We met up with our friends at Boudin Sourdough and ate some free sourdough bread . Then we went on California Screamin’ twice. To read about a fun experience on Screamin’, click here. I did not vomit even though I had a giant ice cream.

Next, we went on Toy Story Mania.
The line is normally about forty-five minutes to an hour. We got on it in just thirty minutes. The results of one of the carts in our group was:

After that, we went on Golden Zephyr which swings you around in a circular motion. And then- oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, we got Fastpasses for Ghost Galaxy. They were valid between 7:30 and 8:30. By the time we arrived at Ghost Galaxy, it was about 8:15. We were able to get on our space tour in time.

The problem: there was a space skeleton waiting to attack us. We did make it safely back into the space station and to our house. Overall, it was another fun day at Disneyland.
Great blog post! It sounds like you had a great time. I love the photos! It is great to see all the cool Halloween details.

I hope they will still have them for Kate’s birthday. She is celebrating it at Disneyland on Nov. 3 which is when Space Mountain returns.
