Mickey’s Halloween Party: SoCal’s Best Halloween Bash

Wheatley Disneyland Halloween Mickey’s Halloween Party: SoCal’s Best Halloween Bash travel top articles play los angeles

Culture Vixen editors Gayle Wheatley and Tyson Wintibaugh dressed to impress as Scooby Doo characters Daphne and Fred.

Looking for ideas to celebrate Halloween? New this year to Disneyland park’s Halloween Time celebration in Southern California is Mickey’s Halloween Party, a special event going on every Tuesday and Friday evening in October leading up to Halloween. Here are the highlights:

Costumed Fun
This is your chance to break out the halloween costumes! You’re sure to see plenty of amazing Halloween outfits as you wander between rides. There’s even a costume parade at the end of the night filled with innovative ensembles, favorite characters, and a sampling of hand-picked costumed partygoers. (Your very own Culture Vixen editors were randomly selected!)

Trick-or-Treating for All Ages
Best yet, each guest receives a trick-or-treat bag upon entry to fill up at various trick-or-treat stations spread out around the park throughout the night. Guests are treated to unlimited candy, and the normal rules don’t apply here—there are no age restrictions and everyone is perfectly welcome to trick or treat, no matter your age! Where else but Disneyland would this be possible?

Spooky Fireworks
Disneyland’s fireworks extravaganzas are known for their sophisticated pyrotechnics, and Mickey’s Halloween Party is no exception. The special Halloween Screams fireworks spectacular features Disney villains with flashy individually spinning pinwheel fireworks and sky crawling blasts of sparkles.

Extra Breathing Room
Perhaps the best part of this event is the crowds—or lack of them. There’s nothing like the exhilarating experience of hopping on and off rides with little or no wait time! (Dependent of course on the night you attend.)

Halloween Party Lanterns
By October 14, 2009
beacreature pumpkinsMS Halloween Party Lanterns style
I can imagine these fancy pumpkins lighting the way to a swanky Halloween party, can’t you? The simple DIY instructions for making these come from Martha Stewart and can be found here.

The greatest thing about these designer pumpkins is that they are actually a bit easier to make  than carving out a fancy design….as long as you have a drill handy. And they are so cute!
