Goodbye Halloween….Hello Christmas
Did you know that Disney cast members work hard overnight on October 31 to switch Magic Kingdom from Halloween to Christmas? It is incredible.

Did you know there is a special event at Radiator Springs in Disney California Adventure at dusk everyday?
During non holiday times, they play Sh-Boom from the movie while all of the lights come on. During Halloween time, they have a spooky tune instead.
Watch towards the end of the video and you will see a group of people cruising the streets, just like the movie.
Make sure to get here before dusk if you want to see it. It was worth seeing at least once, especially for Cars fans.

Oogie Boogie Bash 2024
I got to attend my first Oogie Boogie Bash this year at Disneyland and loved it. I will work on a comparison to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in Disney World, but wanted to note some of the highlights.
🍫 Treat Trails
This was by far my favorite part of the party. Most treat trails are centered around different villains. The villains did a great job interacting with guests as they passed by while collecting candy. You do not get a normal meet and greet with them, but I actually preferred this. Plus I brought home way too much candy.
🧙♀️ Unique Characters
Most of the villains in the treat trails are not normally out, but there are also character meet and greets throughout the parks with not often seen characters. These include the “Sanderson Sisters”, Prince Hans, Pain and Panic, Wade, and more.
🎃 Frightfully Fun Parade
You can catch this “spooky” parade twice a night. It focuses heavily on villains and Haunted Mansion characters. It starts with the Headless Horseman, which is a crowd favorite. This is the big entertainment of the night so make sure you get a good spot to watch.
🦹♂️ Villains Grove
The villains have taken over Redwood Creek Challenge Trail and have left their marks. You get to explore the enchanted grove and guess which villain has taken over each area. This is cute and fun to do once it is nighttime.

Reliving Disneyland Halloween race weekend through some of my favorite race photos.
We had fun with a mix of outfits but The Incredibles was my favorite. We got so many callouts and it was a simple costume.
I cannot wait to return next year!

It is officially halfway to the holidays! The holidays are magical at Disney World. All 4 parks come to life with festive entertainment, food, characters, fireworks, and more.

Which park is your favorite during the holidays?...#halfwaytotheholidays #disneyworld #disneyholiday #disneychristmas #magickingdom #epcot #hollywoodstudios #animalkingdom #mvmcp #dreamdisneywithsam #dreamtravelwithsam #travelgrown
Ever wondered what it is like to start toward the back of a @rundisney Disney World race?
Tons of fireworks! Each wave has its own fireworks and we estimated seeing 30 waves start while waiting to start the ten miler at Springtime Surprise. My wave started about 65 minutes after the official race start.
@carissa_gway and @pelkman19 do a great job of keeping you entertained while waiting, which is greatly appreciated.
Don’t want to wait this long to start? Make sure to submit your proof of time to get placed towards the front.
Are you like me and usually not fast enough for a proof of time? Then enjoy the show and know that you will have a great race once you get started.
