On a recent trip to Disney California Adventure Park and Disneyland Park, we discovered that Halloween decor and theming have been added in various locations.

Halloween Decor at Disneyland Resort

Entrance to Disney California Adventure at Disneyland Resort is elaborately decorated with Halloween decor, featuring the character Oogie Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" amidst bat and pumpkin decorations. The festive decorations perfectly capture the spooky holiday spirit.

In our last update, we reported that Oogie Boogie had taken his place above the Disney California Adventure Park entrance. More festive decorations have now been added around him.

The bats near his arms now shoot out beyond the spires he sits between. Black hills have been installed beneath him. Jack-o’-lanterns with orange spooky faces have been added to the hills. Their stems are long and curling.

On the other side of the moon, Oogie Boogie still smiles down at guests. However, a black feature has been added beneath him. In our last update, there was a metal frame below him.
