Back when I was able to see Haunted Mansion Holiday its first few years, it was an early Christmas overlay that they had up in October and took down in January, with the rest of the park’s Christmas decor and nightly snowfall already going by mid-November, which is when we usually had time to do a quick weekend trip. I guess Haunted Mansion Holiday was popular enough for Disneyland to expand into special Halloween events in more recent years. My dear friend Tash of Annual Halloween Shopping Weekend fame has been able to go several years now with her kids to the Mickey’s Halloween Party nights, so I have heard a lot about how fun it is, and it is the ONLY time at Disneyland when adults are allowed to be in costume. Since my Halloween parties are always the Saturday before Halloween, sometimes Halloween night is immediately after my party, and as the calendar cycles through the years, sometimes I have a whole week until Halloween night. Since this year I finally had the perfect Halloween costumes to wear at Disneyland, I asked if my Scream Team would take a quick mid-week trip with me to see Haunted Mansion Holiday together and I could wear both my Elsa costumes. Sadly Scary Jerry couldn’t join us but Ghoulish Glen and I had a great time!
The full trip is in the Travels section of BrittaDotCom, so you can read about the whole trip and see more photos of the special Halloween fireworks show with Zero the Ghost Dog flying around, decorations, and Haunted Mansion Holiday by taking these links, but I’ve included the best Elsa photos in the gallery here below, including loving being mobbed for photos, and some fun ones of Elsa riding in a Doombuggy adoring the ice angels and the snowy graveyard inside Haunted Mansion Holiday…two favorite worlds colliding!
