Disneyland Is Already Thinking About Pumpkins And Candy

With Independence Day barely in the rear view mirror, another theme park is already prepping their offerings for Halloween. Hoping to build the excitement for the autumn amusement season, Disneyland in California has announced its plans for the spookiest of all holidays. Halloween Time will run from September 25 through November 1, just in time to take down all the pumpkins and put up all the Christmas trees.

Space Mountain will be getting a special holiday-themed overlay to spice things up for those looking to celebrate all things black and orange. The Ghost Galaxy idea premiered at Hong Kong Disneyland, but the folks in Anaheim will borrow this concept to add some new music and ghostly images to the walls of the roller coaster—sounds spooky awesome.

There will also be a revamped fireworks show to entertain guests during the season. The fireworks don�t have a clever name yet, but we do know the show will star villains from some of the company�s most famous animated films. The bad guys will also be meandering around the park trying to be mean in the nicest way possible—this is Disney after all—while passing out candy.

All the Halloween offerings are included in your daily ticket to the park, which right now starts at $69. However, prices have gone up the first weekend in August the last couple of years, so just be aware. For those in SoCal, local grocery stores and even Costco sometimes have multi-day deals on tickets, so scope out that route before you hit the turnstiles.
