It&#8217;s the original park that Walt dreamed up on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2015\/07\/griffith-park-merry-go-round\/\">bench by a carousel<\/a>. Whenever you can get there, get there! But Disneyland in the fall is exceptionally great! Here are some reason&#8217;s why.<\/p>\n<h2>The Weather<\/h2>\n<p>Southern California is known for their great weather. Unlike Florida, it doesn&#8217;t get surface of the sun hot with jungle like humidity. But, it can still can get hot. Near the end of summer there tends to be a heat wave that has everyone sweating. Sometimes the <a href=\"https:\/\/weather.com\/travel\/news\/disney-marine-layer-20120615\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">marine layer<\/a> makes it all the way into Orange County, covering the park in a haze during the end of spring and early summer. But September hits and things seem to start evening out. Most nights you need a light jacket and it&#8217;s much easier to celebrate all things pumpkin spice when you aren&#8217;t sweating profusely.<\/p>\n<h2>The Decorations<\/h2>\n<p>From the moment you walk up to the front gate you are greeted by fall decorations! There are the cutest pumpkins over the turnstiles made to look like the Fab Five.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-74089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Disneyland-main-gate-in-the-fall-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Fall decorations at the tapstiles of Disneyland\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Disneyland-main-gate-in-the-fall-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Disneyland-main-gate-in-the-fall-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Disneyland-main-gate-in-the-fall.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Main Street has a huge Mickey Pumpkin and fall flags are on every light pole.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-74095\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mickey-pumpkin-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"huge Halloween pumpkin\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mickey-pumpkin-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Mickey-pumpkin.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is a celebration of Dia de los Muertos (day of the dead) in Fronterland<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-74090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Frontierland-for-dia-de-los-muertos-400x400.jpg\" alt=\"Celebration of the dead in Frontierland\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Frontierland-for-dia-de-los-muertos-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Frontierland-for-dia-de-los-muertos-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Frontierland-for-dia-de-los-muertos.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But the creme de la creme of the park is <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyland.disney.go.com\/attractions\/disneyland\/haunted-mansion-holiday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Haunted Mansion<\/a>. Every inch of this attraction is themed to The Nightmare Before Christmas! I am going to be honest&#8230;I don&#8217;t really get this movie. To me it is a very odd movie (and I am of the generation that should love it), but this overlay is SPECTACULAR. Disney does such a great job of transforming this attraction. From the outside, to the preshow to the ghost that follow you home&#8230;everything is re themed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-74093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Haunted-Mansion-Holiday-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"Nightmare Before Christmas overlay of Haunted Mansion\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Haunted-Mansion-Holiday-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Haunted-Mansion-Holiday.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-74094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Inside-Haunted-Mansion-Holiday-1-300x400.jpg\" alt=\"Nightmare Before Christmas inside Haunted Mansion\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Inside-Haunted-Mansion-Holiday-1-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Inside-Haunted-Mansion-Holiday-1.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The absolute best part is the AMAZING <a href=\"https:\/\/disneyparks.disney.go.com\/blog\/2019\/09\/first-look-2019-haunted-mansion-holiday-50th-anniversary-gingerbread-house-at-disneyland-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gingerbread house<\/a> in the ballroom!
