Halloween Time at Disneyland: A Festive Fall Event!

One of my favorite childhood memories was of one Sunday morning years ago when I was probably 10 or 11. With no warning, my parents surprised us and told us we were going to Disneyland that day.  It was one of the best days ever.

I love fall in Orange County. I love fall period.

My birthday is in the fall, my anniversary is in the fall, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I just love everything about this season.

When we walked into Main Street U.S.A last Saturday, with the slightly cooler temperatures and fall decor, I was transported to my happy place.

Thousands of pumpkins and beautiful fall decor everywhere – fall had arrived and this festive fall event is one not to be missed!
