Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is here! Pumpkins line Main Street, U.S.A., ghosts have taken over Space Mountain, and Jack Skellington is back to host happy haunts in Haunted Mansion Holiday.
As you know, Haunted Mansion Holiday marries the classic Disneyland attraction with fan-favorite characters from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas—and this year, the film’s mean green villain, Oogie Boogie, is taking center stage in a super-special Gingerbread House for the attraction’s ballroom scene…
For the last 17 years, a themed Gingerbread House has thrilled and chilled park guests, and 2017’s is no exception: It’s a whopping six feet tall to the roof point, but the animated Oogie Boogie himself is seven feet tall! And there are more than 70 bugs “scurrying” across the ballroom table and the ballroom itself, so keep your eyes peeled. More than 200 pounds of gingerbread, four gallons of egg whites, and 30 pounds of white chocolate went into making this year’s house, created and built by the team at Disneyland Resort’s Central Bakery—led by Executive Pastry Chef Jean-Marc Viallet and Lead Pastry Chef Edgar Urtola.
See it in person, now through early January 2018, at Disneyland Park!
