It was so cool just seeing all the costumes and how creative everyone can be! But there's nothing like the Christmas holidays in the park. All the decorations and snow after the fireworks. Tough choice. I say go both times!

I agree that Christmas is a really special time at the resort but Halloween can be pretty neat. Especially when you can find all kinds of other Christmas things to do all around during that time of year. Halloween events can be a little scary for a 7 and 5 year old but Disneyland's is great.

The new Halloween decor is a great addition tho, so it would be fun to see, since you haven't yet. You're almost guaranteed sunny weather (tho December is nice too, there's a better chance of rain in Dec.). Sometimes we get quite a heat wave in October - that can be a bummer to folks coming from AZ who are trying to escape heat :)

18	SleepingBeauty82 Tue 6/30/2009 9:31p	They decorate more at Christmas for sure. The castle, Storybookland, Critter Country, New Orleans Square...all of those are done up at Christmas but not at Halloween. Of course Small World will have a holiday overlay at Christmas that it won't have at Halloween as well.
