Each year, the spirit of Halloween Time invades Disneyland with more pumpkins and festive autumn décor than you can shake a candy corn at. Main Street and Big Thunder Ranch are transformed into virtual pumpkin festivals, and the Haunted Mansion is transformed in the Haunted Mansion Holiday—with whimsical and colorful recreations of the scenes and images popular from Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas.
Dave Caranci is the decorating guru behind many of the decorations found at the Disneyland Resort. Year round, he works with his creative team to create fun and festive décor that leaves us wondering, “How did they do that?!” In fact, while all of us are currently enjoying his Halloween creations throughout Disneyland, he and his team are currently working on special all-new winter holiday decorations for Buena Vista Street and Cars Land in Disney California Adventure Park. He told me that he absolutely can’t wait to show them off and that they are unlike anything they’ve had in the parks before.
Each year, Dave comes up with décor ideas Disneyland fans can do at home to mimic the fun and festive decorations he dreams up for the “Happiest Place on Earth.” I’m thrilled to be able to share those ideas with all of you!
Which of these decorations are you dying to try this Halloween season? If you make any of them with your family, please share your photos on the Babes In Disneyland Facebook page! We will feature some of our readers’ creations in a future blog post!
