Disneyland Update: HalloweenTime, Jungle Cruise and Spooky Food

Last week while down in OC for Scary Farm, we spent the morning/early afternoon at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. Our goal was to of course see this years version of Haunted Mansion Holiday, but also finally experience the updated Jungle Cruise (somehow we missed it on our last trip) and see about getting our first ride on Monsters after Dark! 

​Happy to say we were successful on all 3!

Welcome back to Disneyland!
Picture
We're ready for some fun!
Picture
Picture
Love the Halloween decorations!
Picture
We finally got to see the Jungle Cruise udpates! And we loved them! Also had an amazing skipper!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Time for Haunted Mansion Holiday!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Can't believe it's already been 20 years! I still have my 2001 shirt, which I wear only once a year.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Always one of the favorite things to check out!
Picture
We got stopped in the graveyard so got a few good pics!
Picture
Picture
Time to join the resistance!
Picture
A wow moment each and every time
Picture
Backside of Walt and Mickey
Picture
Pulled Pork Fries: The Pork and Cole slaw were great. The fries could have been a bit warmer.
Picture
The blood orange slushie was fantastic! Could have used a bit o' Rum though. =)
Picture
It's 1:00pm, time to head over to DCA! The 1:00 thing is so arbitrary, hope they change that soon.
Picture
PBJ & W: PB & J Raspberry Jam Hard Cider with Peanut Butter Whiskey. It didn't need the Whiskey but it was still tasty.
Picture
Single Rider FTW! Love when you can do single rider and still ride in the same vehicle!
Picture
Cars Land decorations! Click the pictures below for a larger version of each.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pepper-Jack Cheese Stick. It looked REALLY spicey.
Picture
But it could have been a bit spicier for me.
Picture
After our snack we wanted to see what time Monsters After Dark started and if we had time to ride before heading to Scary Farm!
Picture
Picture
Picture
We happened to catch it just as they started letting the line in and waited about 10 minutes! And it was AWESOME! This may be our favorite version of this attraction.
Picture
It also happened to be Gay Days, moved from it's traditional first weekend in October.
Picture
We had a great few hours at Disneyland, it's so great to be able to drop in again!

Thanks for reading! We'll be back at Disneyland in a few weeks for a multi-day visit (a make up from our cancelled Florida trip) and will be checking out all of the nighttime Halloween magic at both parks!

Disneyland Resort Update: HalloweenTime and ToonTown Construction - September 5, 2021

​Welcome to our first Disneyland Update since Magic Key! We're excited to start having regular Disneyland updates as a part of our coverage! 
Written by Gregg Condon
Picture
Picture
Picture
We'll get back to you a bit later DCA!
Picture
It's time to unlock our Magic Key!
Picture
Crowds to get in about 10am
Picture
The Gourd's are back!
Picture
Picture
Who else missed HalloweenTime at Disneyland?
Picture
Picture
The park was "sold out" for both daily ticket holders and Magic Key, so it was a bit busy.
Picture
Picture
I really wanted to ride Indy, but no single-rider line during my visit
Picture
Some kind of work going on with Tarzan's Treehouse
Picture
Picture
I did not ride Haunted Mansion Holiday, I'll wait and ride with my wife when we go back on the 17th.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Pooh Corner was back open, so took a look at the treats. Including a $13 cookie.
Picture
Work going on to expand the seating around Fowler's Harbor. Maybe the first step in expanding the New Orleans theme to Splash Mountain?
Picture
Picture
Did Single Rider on Matterhorn, and actually had an enjoyable ride!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Work going on in front of Toontown. Very small walkway right now.
Picture
Somebody misspelled "Soon". =)
Picture
According to the artwork, this looks like it's going to be the rides entrance
Picture
Hopefully these buildings will get refreshed as well
Picture
Love this sign!
Picture
Honestly, not very excited for this to come back. Not because I don't like the attraction, but sitting in a tube with a bunch of people doesn't sound fun to me right now.
Picture
Yes please!
Picture
The Magic Key Lounge was the longest wait in the park. Not even kidding. A virtual wait (when I tried to check in there were about 200 people in front of me) and then once you're called back, there's another wait. For a photo op and phone chargers. Don't ever estimate the power of "passholders" again.
Picture
Let's check out some Halloween merch!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Coco! Lots more Halloween merchandise is in our update video.
Picture
Picture
Over at DCA, really love that they've done something different with the Halloween decorations over here.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Cars Land definitely has the best decorations
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Did Single Rider on Radiator Springs Racers which probably saved me an hour
Picture
Did Single Rider on Incredicoaster which was longer than the stand-by wait. Pick and choose your single rider lines!
Picture
Had to stop by to see the boss!
Picture
Had a fun few hours at the park! Can't wait to go back and see more of HalloweenTime!

Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party 2019

Picture
Boo to you and a Happy Halloween Season!!

It's time for the first of many Halloween updates over the next two months. This year we're starting off with the always fun Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at the Magic Kingdom. 

​Enjoy, and Boo to you and you and you and you ... Happy Halloween!

Written by Renée Girard
We’re still not cool enough to Universal Orlando’s HHN media night (don’t worry, we still love them and will visit this month!). But tonight we’ll continue the early Halloween celebration at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!
Picture
Good news everyone, Starbucks is open!
Picture
Space Mountain in complete darkness is so fun!!
Picture
I enjoy Monsters Inc Laugh Floor, and it’s pretty cool that they made it a treat trail where you can also sit and watch their comedy acts.
Picture
Picture
Picture
I can’t believe it, you guys - Joffrey’s coffee is open too!! I gotta admit, their cold brew is delicious.
Picture
Elvis Stitch is meeting guests in the former Stitch’s Great Escape queue.
Picture
I’m still a huge fan of HalloWishes, but the Not So Spooky Spectacular fireworks are quite enjoyable too.
Picture
I don’t know if I’ll get to try all of the specialty treats, but as of right now, I definitely recommend the pumpkin cheesecake.
Picture
Picture
The Haunted Mansion is extra spooky on MNSSHP nights.
Picture
The Boo to You parade is still my favorite thing about the event. Love the addition of the bride, but I’m not so sure about the new Incredibles and Toy Story floats. But it’s all good, and that song will be stuck in your head all night!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Another successful evening of Not So Scary fun! Goodnight!
