Hidden Mickey Monday!

This Hidden Mickey can be found in Duffy's Halloween themed meet-and-greet area on Paradise Pier in DCA.

Always be sure to look for special Holiday Hidden Mickeys that can only be seen during special times at the park!

Disney on Ice

I just saw Disney on Ice! This is opening weekend in Northern California. My mom took me for a late birthday present! I was really impressed with some of the costumes and variety of characters in the show.
It was fantastic! Just wanted to share some pictures, enjoy.

Hidden Mickey Monday!

This Hidden Mickey can be found in the Stretch Room of the Haunted Mansion Holiday. During the Halloween and Christmas season, the ride gets a makeover by Jack Skellington himself. The portraits that usually hang in this room are replaced by Christmas scenes that have gone wrong. One pictures a Christmas tree, and as you can see, one of the red ornaments seems to have sprouted some extra ears!

Big Thunder Ranch Pumpkin Patch

Each year there is pumpkin patch behind Thundermountain in Frontierland. All the pumpkins feature Disney characters. Some artists are quite clever and really use the 3d elements of the pumpkin, paints, and props.

This year the patch has been incorporated into the Halloween Carnival at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree area. I usually swing by twice during the day, as cast members are always out carving new pumpkins to see.

Here are some of my favorite pumpkins throughout the years, enjoy.

Tim Burton's Frankenweenie Art Exhibit

For a limited time (until November 5th) park guests can see an exclusive 4D sneak peek of the film, Frankenweenie! Even if you have seen the movie already I recommend seeing the 4D clip. During Sparky's resurrection scene there is wind, rain, and even lightning! It was a really unique experience and was a lot of fun.

The art exhibit is located in the Animation Building in Hollywoodland, DCA. There are multiple full sets from the film including all the mini props and puppets in appropriate poses. There is also a section of Tim Burton's desk which has concept art and drawings, character puppets, as well as a variety of character models for Sparky.

Next door in the Off the Page shop, there is exclusive merchandise including t-shirts, mugs, and of course a plush Sparky and Persephone.

Across the street at Award Weiners Hot Dogs, they have a limited time Frankenweenie themed menu option, the Frank and Weiner.
