In a few days, my daughter and I are headed back to California. We’ll be sharing our D23 Expo experiences with you, and we’ll also spend a few days at Disneyland. We’ll be attending Oogie Boogie Bash for the first time! I’ve never been to Disneyland during the Halloween season. I’ll add a lot of pictures to the Disney Over 50 Facebook and Instagram pages, so please, follow along.
I don’t need any help to get excited about this trip. Even so, Disney Parks Blog has released a guide to Halloween goodies at Disneyland. I can’t wait!

Ghosts, ghouls, and foodie lovers alike – the time has come for ghoulish sweets and treats to invade Disneyland Resort. This Halloween season, which runs from September 2 through October 31, all across this magical place you’ll find goodies that have been masterfully concocted by our Disney chefs and mixologists. And let me tell you, these goodies are not to be missed!
Your tastebuds will be transported to the Halloween celebrations happening throughout the resort. At Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor, the mouthwatering Rocky Road Halloween Sundae will put a spell on you. Over at the Pacific Wharf Café, the Chocolate-Espresso Bread Pudding is sure to catch your eye. And what better way to commemorate your Halloween adventure than with the Zero Light-Up Premium Bucket?
