OC looks at OC life
Spook and Awe

Spook and Awe

September 30, 2009

Disney got their spook on Halloween style.

Disney got their spook on. And I got the sights and frights firsthand thanks to a VIP tour this past weekend. See my live photo look at the ghoulish attractions when a few of us OC’ers were invited to tour the parks.

The Halloween haunt marks only the third year Disney has done up the place to creep and please. Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy was a serious scream. The Haunted Mansion is charmingly spooky. And there’s an amazing Halloween fireworks show through the end of the month (sit by the castle to see the moving projections as Suz did).

It’s no doubt that the Disney Imagineers know their stuff, know kids and know to scare the you-know-what out of ‘em—and then charm them into wanting more, more!

And you’ll enjoy feeling like a kid again and getting lost in memories of haunted good times. We all need a little unstoppable cackling fear paired with laid-back pumpkin patch relaxation.

Happy Halloween, Orange County Moms. And don’t worry if you scare the kids for life on Space Mountain. I took my 5-year old, and I’m confident it builds character.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. Are you taking your kids?
