Only one holiday makes me giddy like a little kid – and that's Halloween. More than a few places on this planet cause that same child-like feeling in me – Disneyland is one of them. Combine the two and I'm done for – in a good way. ;)The best thing about Disneyland is the tiny details that sadly, most people miss because they are too busy running from one ride to the next. Here are a few shots I took when we visited the Dis on Friday, October 30th, '09: Let's begin with a shop that I could spend a large fortune in, "Disneyana." Here are a couple of close- ups of goodies in the window and in the store:

And speaking of windows, here is my favorite - I always have to take a peek at this one no matter what time of year it is. Look closely - so many amazing goodies in here!:
The detail of Fantasyland's architecture always thrills me:

Have you ever watched the window above Snow White's Scary Adventrue? Just about every twenty seconds, the Evil Queen peeks out of the window:

It is said that the clock above (and below) is set to the exact time Walter Elias Disney died.
Most of the time you can find me in in New Orleans Square. As I am quite fond of the Victorian era, and simply MAD about "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas," you can imagine how I drool over the Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction every year:
I get a kick out of Main Street, too. You can only see the pumpkins if you look closely:

(Just FYI - In his younger days, Steve Martin worked in the Main Street Magic Shop. :) )
Thank you so much for letting me share my love for the Dis with you. If I make it back before Christmas, I'll take more pix and post them here. May your holidays be filled with warmth and loved ones. XO G.
