Halloween

I've been to the parks a few times when there is no holiday overlay.  It's just plain old Disneyland. I've also been to the parks one time during the Christmas overlay. I have been to Disneyland many times during Halloween. Plain Disneyland is fantastic-in May they offer Hyperspace Mountain, my all-time favorite ride. 

At Christmas there are a lot of peppermint treats, which are not my favorite, but the Christmas tree is cool.  But Halloween?  Oh yeah. It's not scary, just cool. Pumpkins and bats and stuff everywhere.  And the treats, oh man, the treats!

One thing about Halloween is the villains come out a bit more.

Mickey is no villain, but this is his Halloween costume:

This churro is a Halloween time churro that I've only had one time and never seen again. Truth be told, it was just okay, but it was novel. It's the Red Hots churro.  They ground up the Red Hots candy and rolled the churro in it.  Then they gave me a little cup of cream cheese icing for dipping. 

This caramel popcorn churro was also a Halloween seasonal treat.  Mandy said the popcorn was stale and she wasn't wrong!

You know what is really cool during Halloween?  The Mansion! The Nightmare Before Christmas overlay is really neat! That's right, I said neat.

And, even though I have talked about the Grey Stuff before, I want to talk about it again.  It's so dang good!

Okay, the long story.  Don't worry, this is getting close to the end.

Back to the Toy Story Parking Lot

After breakfast, they piled into the cars once again, heading to the Toy Story parking area. But the strange feeling lingered in the air, like a cloud following them all the way to the lot. As they parked, they looked at each other, still unsure what felt so off.

"You think the shuttle's gonna break down again?" Roman asked, half-serious.

"Don't jinx it," Mandy warned, with a nervous chuckle.

As they boarded the shuttle, there was a sense of déjà vu. Everyone glanced around, as if expecting the shuttle to suddenly stop or for something weird to happen. But this time, the shuttle ran smoothly. No breakdowns, no sudden stops. Still, the unease remained.

“I swear,” Jeff said, looking around the group. “This morning feels like three mornings ago.”

“Again,” Mandy agreed. “But hey, it’s Disneyland, right? How bad can it be?”

With that, they set off for day two, still feeling strange, but hopeful that the magic of Disneyland would make everything right. After all, who could stay worried with churros and roller coasters waiting? Surely, another day at the park would be a great time... right?
