    When does Disneyland decorate for Halloween?

    You are likely to see signs of changing from Summer at Disneyland to Halloween at Disneyland the week prior to the official start of Halloween at the parks.

    The same is true of the Christmas season setup, where you'll typically see some overlap from Halloween to Christmas decorations at Disneyland.

    One day I was driving around the park and saw the pumpkin sculptures of Mickey and Goofy being driven away by trucks on the highway.

    Although usually you don't see these type of transformations between the seasons happen in broad daylight!

    I guess I was technically not at the park...

    And the sculptures needed to get stored offsite somewhere.

    You'll also notice some displays for Oogie Boogie Bash around the parks...
