Disneyland‘s popular Halloween Time is back for its annual run. The offerings are a bit scaled back this year but marquee offerings such as Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy are ready to scare up some fun. In Disney California Adventure, Disney has gotten an ice-cold response to news that a “Frozen” musical would replace the fan-favorite “Aladdin — A Musical Spectacular” early next year. Has Disney finally burned people out on all things Frozen?

We’re back after a week off for a full recap of this year’s Halloween Time offerings. Let’s get started!

Welcome to Halloween Time!

Halloween Time is now in full swing at Disneyland, with Main Street decked out for the season.

After a summer season with none of the traditional patriotic bunting in favor of keeping the 60th Anniversary decorations up, we didn’t expect to see the orange Halloween Time bunting and lamppost decorations to go up. Luckily, they have, and it’s a nice change from the blue-and-white Diamond Celebration decorations.

The Halloween Time lamppost decorations are up at the main entrance but are modified for the 60th on Main Street.

Instead of the Mickey pumpkins and the “Disney’s Halloween Time” logo, the Diamond Celebration D plaques are up along with the fall leaves and orange banners. It’s a nice compromise – a bit of fall color with the 60th decorations still in place.

With the Big Thunder Ranch Halloween Carnival not being offered this year, Mickey and friends are meeting in Town Square in their Halloween costumes.

The Candy Palace (as well as Trolley Treats in California Adventure) has a selection of special Halloween cake pops, rice crispy treats and apples. New this year, Dia de los Muertos-decorated treats. Nice!

Looking down Main Street, the Castle is still dressed up for the 60th.

In the hub, the Partners statue is once again surrounded by jack-o-lanterns representing each land of the park.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

With Halloween Time being an annual event for nearly a decade, when will Disneyland’s offerings get a proper refresh? Next year marks a decade of Halloween Time and most of the annual decorations, such as these jack-o-lanterns, have remained the same for the entire decade. Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris routinely get new Halloween decorations — isn’t it time to give Disneyland’s Halloween Time some love?

Below, a few recent Halloween Time headlines from the Disney Parks Blog worth mentioning:



Halloween Tree

In Frontierland, Ray Bradbury’s Halloween Tree is back.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

The Halloween Tree is a great idea and a fitting tribute to Bradbury and his love of Disneyland. It’s too bad Disney’s only willing to spend enough to cover some lights and plastic pumpkins with faces drawn on with Sharpies. This little tribute could be so much better.

Dia de Los Muertos

Zocalo Park’s great little Dia de los Muertos display is back.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

It would be great to see this expanded into an entire festival in Frontierland, similar to the ¡Viva Navidad! offerings at Disney California Adventure during the holidays.

Big Thunder Ranch

In the back of Frontierland, Big Thunder Ranch is decorated for what will likely be its final Halloween Time before Star Wars Land takes shape where the Ranch currently sits.

Unfortunately, Disney decided to axe the Halloween Carnival in the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree area this year. With Star Wars Land not starting construction (or demolition) anytime soon, this seems like a penny-pinching move rather than a necessary construction-related omission. The Jamboree area is just sitting unused (just as it did throughout the summer) instead of hosting guests. The absence of the Halloween Carnival means no villains meet-and-greet tent and no live pumpkin carving this year, features which had become a fan-favorite staples of Disneyland’s Halloween Time festivities.

Haunted Mansion Holiday

In New Orleans Square, Haunted Mansion Holiday is back for its annual run, which lasts for a good third of the year.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

The popularity of this overlay should be grounds for Disney to just build Nightmare Before Christmas its own full-fledged attraction, but since that has yet to happen, the Haunted Mansion celebrates Christmas with the help of Jack Skellington for four solid months every year.

The jack-o-lanterns on the hillside behind the Mansion didn’t return this year. Instead, new landscaping and two new portions of faux brick walls are up. These look like permanent additions, perhaps related to Disneyland’s ongoing fall safety additions?

A Whole New Show

Around 8 p.m. last Wednesday, Disney officially announced that Califonria Adventure’s popular Aladdin musical show would close in January to make way for a new musical production based on Frozen.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

The announcement on the Disney Parks Blog was met with overwhelming negativity by readers, and currently features over 100 comments, many of which are opposed to “Frozen” replacing the fan-favorite Aladdin show.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

While a great theme park show, Aladdin will be 13 years old by the time the curtain closes one last time. It has certainly run its course, but after a Frozen Summer Fun promotion and two Frozen-based shows currently running at the Resort, it seems like audiences could use a break from Olaf.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

Aladdin has been saved once before, when Disney announced a version of the Disney Cruise Line’s “Toy Story” musical would replace the “Aladdin” show in early 2011. Those plans were eventually scrapped and Aladdin has continued to play until now.
Halloween Time, Disneyland scales back Halloween Time as Disney California Adventure prepares for more ‘Frozen’

Could fans save Aladdin again? With the overwhelmingly negative feedback Disney has received everywhere they promoted the “Frozen” news, it’s certainly a possibility. Below, you can click on the official @Disneyland Tweet of the news to see a strong majority of fans responding negatively to the news.

If Frozen does move into the Hyperion, hopefully the nearby Frozen Sing-Along will close and the Muppets can return to their theatre.
