The focal point of Main Street, U.S.A. is this 16-foot-tall Mickey Mouse jack-o’-lantern. It stands in the center of Main Street across from the flag pole.  On one side of the pumpkin, Mickey is smiling, while the other side features Mickey winking.

Disney is also celebrating the traditional Mexican holiday, Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. Located across from the Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante in Disneyland’s Frontierland, this festive exhibit honors those who have passed away and celebrates the continuation of life.

Heading down to New Orleans Square, The Haunted Mansion has been given its annual Haunted Mansion Holiday makeover, based on Tim Burton’s “Nightmare Before Christmas.”  The ride combines Halloween and Christmas and features the movie’s major characters, including Jack, Sally, Zero and the Oogie Boogie Man.
