Step into the pumpkin-lit streets of Disneyland as we uncover The Magical History of Halloween at Disney Parks! 🎃
In this episode of the Where In The Park Podcast, Amanda takes you on a spellbinding journey through the history of Halloween at Disney Parks around the world — from the humble Parade of the Pumpkins in 1959 to today’s spectacular Halloween Time celebrations.
We’ll explore how Disney turned a one-day pumpkin parade into a multi-month global tradition, the origins of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, the story behind the Halloween Tree in Frontierland, and why the Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay became a fan-favorite blend of fright and delight.
✨ Highlights:
- Disneyland’s first Halloween in Holidayland (1959)
- The birth of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
- Haunted Mansion Holiday & the art of seasonal overlays
- Ray Bradbury’s Halloween Tree and the storytelling roots of the season
- How Disney’s “Not-So-Scary” approach redefined Halloween fun
So grab your candy bag and join us for a not-so-scary stroll through decades of Disney magic, mystery, and memories.
