The Halloween Carnival takes place behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. The Halloween Carnival is Disney’s take on a Halloween country themed carnival. Here, you will find the Disney characters dressed up in their Halloween themed costumes. But beware, some of the Disney Villains have taken up residence in their sideshow tent. Be advised that the lines for the Villains tent can be quite long. And once inside, you only conjure up one of the Disney Villains. Pumpkin carvers will awe Guests with their Disney themed pumpkin carvings. Arts, crafts, and games(that are free) will delight young and old. And for area music, Billy Hill and the Hillbillies will take stage and play some songs. The Pirates League, which was in New Orleans Square last year, has moved to the Halloween Carnival for those who want to dress like a pirate. A nominal fee is required for this activity. Hungry? no need to fear as there is a cart with delicious treats such as hot dogs, corn on the cob, fried apple burrito, spiced apple cider, soda, and water. Because this is all the way in the back of Disneyland, it is a nice get away from the noise and crowds. One can sit and relax a bit and just enjoy the scenery.
