HalloweenTime 2023 at the Disneyland Resort - September 13, 2023

Last weekend we headed out to the Disneyland Resort for half day of fun and checking out some of HalloweenTime including Haunted Mansion Holiday (still too soon) and Monsters After Dark (the best Tower). 

I will say, it seemed to us that the Halloween offerings at Disneyland have been greatly reduced, and even as the sun set, it didn't seem very "Halloweeny' at the park. While at California Adventure, it seemed like a very lively time with Halloween music, incredible lighting and more. 

I have no problem with them making DCA the "Halloween" park, and wish that would only expand. 

​Let's head in for some Halloween fun! 
Picture
Even though we went into Disney California Adventure first, let's check out the Disneyland portion of our day!
Picture
Haunted Mansion Holiday is now open, and it's Christmas Time in September.
Picture
While I absolutely love this layover, I do feel it's around too long.
Picture
We got stuck in the stretching room so was able to get a few pics.
Picture
Picture
I really do love that this is back.
Picture
Picture
Hera and Chopper are now out in Galaxy's Edge. Love seeing more Rebels out and about. It's way past time to ditch the set timeline in the land and get all of the characters out here.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Somebody did something on the Mark Twain, and now the bow is closed off, a CM is stationed there, and the chairs that are normally in that spot are now in the middle of the bottom deck. Anybody know what happened?
Picture
A quick look at Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
Picture

Picture
Over at California Adventure, the park is fully decked out for Halloween.
Picture
Not a new treat for this year, but one of our favorites!
Picture
Hairy Baby!!
Picture
We love Monster's After Dark SO much.
Picture
Picture
I just wish it was all day during Halloween, it's a shame to miss an hour of the attraction every day.
Picture
Picture
Picture
As night falls on DCA, the amazing lighting is all around.
Picture
No Oogie Boogie Bash for us this year, but we're always happy to get a little taste of it.
Picture
Picture
Cars Land is, IMO, the best interpretation of the source IP of any land at any park. It's just perfect.
Picture
Picture
Happy Haul-O-Ween!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Just perfection!
Picture
Picture
Best land entrance is best!
Picture
Caramel Banana Shake!
Picture
Ocean Beach Sundae!
Picture
We always used to measure our kids height at the White Rabbit Door near the Tea Cups, now there's a new spot for parents to measure their kids! Very cool!

We'll be back at Disneyland in a couple of weekends for more Halloween Fun!

Preview: Journey of Water - Inspired by Moana at Epcot

Picture
The other day we got to preview Epcot’s new walk through attraction, Journey of Water, inspired by Moana.
Picture
It’s very photogenic and will definitely be a hit among those trying to get that perfect Instagram-able shot.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Some “hidden” Moana characters are featured among the rocks.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Journey of Water is divided up into several sections.
Picture
Picture
Picture

Another cool interactive water effect. All of these were honestly great, but I just wonder how it will be once it’s open, as far as crowding and capacity. pic.twitter.com/1KB5UcBmrP

Picture
Within each section is something to interact with.
Picture
Nothing got us soaked, but there’s a dry path in some places just in case.
Picture
Not sure what we were missing in this section but thought the sign was funny.
Picture
Journey of Water is lovely to look at and fun to interact with, but my fear is that it will be treated as a headliner attraction, with crowds taking over.
Picture
It’s more of a place to walk through and take a break, especially with splash pad loving kids.
