\"Halloween<\/p>\n

Have you heard? Disneyland has scared up some fun for those of you who are spending time at the Disneyland Resort between September 9 and October 31, and there is definitely something haunting coming this Halloween Time.<\/p>\n

I suppose that I should disclose that I love Halloween Time. September and October are wonderful months to spend at the Disneyland Resort.\u00a0 Generally at this time, the weather is quite pleasant. The crowds of the summer have diminished and there is an amazing assortment of entertainment and color to help get you in the autumn spirit. There are so many opportunities for the average guest at this time, that I thought that I would take you through some of my favorite happenings of the season.<\/p>\n

I want to start by looking at a few happenings in the rest of the resort before we head to the \u2018main attraction\u2019 of Disneyland’s Halloween Time. As noted above, the Halloween season began at the resort on September 9+. Most of the activities end on October 31 and it is wise to get in quick for those special activities which have limited ticketing.<\/p>\n

Beginning at the Disneyland Hotel, guests who book in for \u2018Afternoon Tea\u2019 at Steakhouse 55 can expect their fare to be a bit more frightful. During Halloween Time, several of the high tea selections will transform into tea\u2019s suggestive of our favorites of Halloween, Jack Skellington and his crew.\u00a0 You can make reservations for Afternoon Tea via the website or on 714-781-DINE. Costs vary dependent on the package that you pick. The classic package is $50 per person. If you would like to experience an attractive edible extravaganza but do not want to devote the time (or price) to the Afternoon Tea, then head to Marceline\u2019s Confectionery at Downtown Disney. They are sure to have the perfect sweet treat for you.<\/p>\n

My next suggestion is to shamble on over to Disney California Adventure. You are sure to scare up a spook or two at the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. And just for those heading to Disney California Adventure Park, Disneyland Resort has put together a real treat. Who does not just love late check-out when they are staying at a hotel? That is right! Disneyland is offering \u2018Late Check-Out\u2019 to everyone visiting the Tower of Terror Hotel after twilight during Halloween Time.<\/p>\n

Visiting the hotel after twilight will boost your fright factor. The Silver Lake Sisters will treat guests to a special show during this event. Dolly, Dottie and Ethel have been performing for years in the rooftop lounge of this, now haunted, hotel. If you are not current on just how interesting their careers have been, check out the walls of the Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Caf\u00e9 on Buena Vista Street.<\/p>\n

You will be able to participate in your own photo shoot with vintage props in a special marquee. Are you ready for your close up? Once on the attraction, guests will experience the Tower of Terror in a whole new way; but do not expect to see anything. It seems that the lights have failed and you will plunge down the elevator shaft in complete darkness. That is sure to get your blood pumping. \u2018Late Check-Out\u2019 will also offer exclusive merchandise at the end of the attraction. Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is closing on January 2, 2017; this is a great time to visit the old hotel before she closes forever.<\/p>\n

Once you have experienced the thrilling drop at \u2018Late Check-Out\u2019, it is finally time to drag your body over to the frightful fun of the Happiest Haunting on Earth. That is right, it is time to head to Disneyland.<\/p>\n

Disneyland is known for having a spectacularly fun, family friendly Halloween Time. This year will be no different. Several of the Halloween Time favorites will reappear this year.\u00a0 You can expect:<\/p>\n
