The giant Mickey jack-o’-lantern has been installed on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Park just in time for Halloween celebrations.
Giant Mickey Jack-o’-Lantern
The enormous carved pumpkin that has been a staple during Halloween at Disneyland for more than 15 years has been installed in its usual place where Town Square and Main Street, U.S.A. meet.
Mickey’s face is carved into both sides of the pumpkin, and two smaller, yet still very large pumpkins, have been installed as his ears. One side of the pumpkin shows Mickey smiling and winking.
The other side of the pumpkin depicts Mickey smiling with both of his eyes open.
The gigantic pumpkin sits on a pile of smaller pumpkins. Each pumpkin has a design carved into it, and they all feature stars of various shapes and sizes. The pumpkin stems grow long and tangled.
At the hub in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle, jack-o’-lanterns featuring fan-favorite characters representing the various lands at Disneyland Park have been installed near the Partners statue.
Roger Rabbit smiles as he represents Mickey’s Toontown. The plaque beneath his face simply refers to the land as “Toontown.”
Buzz Lightyear stares seriously at guests above a “Tomorrowland” plaque. Guests can help Buzz defeat Zurg aboard Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters.
Tinker Bell represents Fantasyland. Her wings are carved behind her.
The Critter Country plaque makes one final appearance beneath the Winnie the Pooh jack-o’-lantern. The land will be renamed Bayou Country when Tiana’s Bayou Adventure reopens later this year.
While the name change isn’t supposed to take effect until November, the audio on Mark Twain Riverboat already refers to the land by its upcoming name.
Woody represents Frontierland, his hat carved atop his head.
The Adventureland jack-o’-lantern features Tarzan. Tarzan’s Treehouse was replaced by Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson in November 2023.
Last but not least, Jack Skellington has been carved into a pumpkin to represent New Orleans Square. Guests can see Jack at Haunted Mansion Holiday, throughout Halloween and Christmas season.
Plenty of Halloween decor has been added to Disneyland Resort, as preparations are well underway for seasonal festivities. Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort officially begins on Friday, August 23. Sunday, August 25 will serve as the first night of the now sold-out Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure.
