Editor's Note: We are thrilled to welcome Daisy Sparks, our new contributing writer for the second edition of Disney Avenue's A Walk in the Park segments. Last week we ventured to Walt Disney World and today we'll take a walk in Disneyland to enjoy some of the Halloween décor. I'd like to give a big THANK YOU to Daisy and I'm certain all of you will enjoy these new weekly segments here on Disney Avenue. Enjoy your Walk in the Park!

The Disney Resort Enhancement Team really goes all out during the Halloween season. From the large Disney Character pumpkin heads that greet you at the entrance to the seasonal bunting that adorn Main Street, U.S.A., the decorations let you know that Halloween has arrived at the Disneyland Resort.
Several
years ago, The Disney Parks Blog featured the Disney Resort
Enhancement team hard at work carving pumpkins in this video:
The
Main Street jack-o-lanterns demonstrate the typical Disney flair for
detail. The jack-o-lanterns that are placed inside the window
displays coordinate with the theme of the location. For example, at
The China Closet, there is a pumpkin carved in the shape of Mrs.
Potts (from Beauty & the Beast) that smiles through the window.
Over by the Main Street Opera House, you will find a jack-o-lantern
complete with a top hot next to the Abe Lincoln bust. My favorite are
the pumpkins that are decorated as a tribute to the Dapper Dans.
The
Main Street jack-o-lanterns typically go away right after Halloween
to make room for Christmas decorations. So there is a limited time if
you want to see them in person. If you can’t get to Disneyland, I’ve
created a gallery of some of the best jack-o-lanterns in their night
time setting right here at Disney Avenue for you...

I was just there and focused on my little grandchildren, totally missed the jack-o-lanterns! Thanks for giving me a chance to enjoy them.
