Halloween merchandise

SeaWorld Spooktacular Offers Family Fun For All – Included In Regular Ticket!

SeaWorld SpooktacularSeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular has become one of my family’s favorite events each year. Included in the regular ticket price, the Spooktacular takes place each weekend in October from noon until park close. Adults and children alike each get a trick-or-treat bag to collect candy and treats along the way. There are countless photo opportunities and characters roaming around, each with some fun interaction to offer. Sesame Street’s The Count also has a fun show called Countdown to Halloween.

In addition, Penelope’s Party Zone over at Bayside Stadium offers a chance for kids to listen to stories, dance, make crafts, all for free. Kids can also partake in optional activities for a fee, including decorating apples and rice crispie treats, face painting and sand sculptures. Before and after the Party Zone are midway-type games similar to those in Shamu’s Happy Harbor, only with Halloween-themed prizes. For $3, each person is a winner of a small prize, and could win a larger prize too. Snacks, drinks and Halloween merchandise are also available along the Spooktacular Underwater FantaSea Path.

These interactive displays on the walkway to Bayside Stadium were genius. My son would’ve stayed there ALL day and been happy. This one made different noises with each button, others controlled the fountains on the lake. So cool!

We had such a wonderful time, there’s simply no reason not to head to SeaWorld during the Spooktacular weekends. More than Spooktacular, my family just loves spending time at SeaWorld. There is so much to do and it’s such a relaxing, laid-back way to enjoy the day, see amazing sea creatures at every turn, and take in some awe-inspiring shows. While we were there, my youngest son asked why we weren’t “eating with Orcas” (aka Dine With Shamu) so clearly he knows how to get the most out of SeaWorld! I can’t wait for our next visit.

Disney Parks Halloween Merchandise for 2012 VIDEO

Halloween is right around the corner, so I decided to head over to Downtown Disney Marketplace and check out the new 2012 Halloween merchandise at World of Disney. The Halloween merchandise should be in all the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Parks now, so check it out! Be sure to see the new Haunted Mansion tombstone collectible pieces as well as the new “Goth Goodies” line of candy, including a chocolate rose.

Here’s a video of the merchandise highlights with a little song to get you in the Halloween spirit:

 

 

 

On the way out, I also snagged some photos of the Halloween/Autumn soaps at Basin. I’m pretty sure those are there year round, but they are pretty!

Harvey’s Handbags in Disney Halloween Prints at Disneyland

I caught this little bit of news from the Orange County Register’s site and thought some of my readers might be interested. I know the Harvey’s seatbelt bags we’ve seen around the parks (see below for past designs) are a big hit with some guests and definitely give the Disney Dooney & Bourke designs a run for their money. Now Disneyland is set to receive an all-new set of Harvey’s bags with Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas prints for Halloween as well as two other collections with a Halloween theme. The collections will debut this Saturday, September 10, 2011. I may have to bribe some of my California friends to pick me up all of them one!

Here’s the story from the OC Register (emphasis mine):

Disney Vault 28, a women’s clothing and accessory store for women in Downtown Disney, is debuting a new line of specially-designed handbags inspired by “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” on Saturday.

Disney spokeswoman Michelle Harker said the latest offering of Harveys Seatbeltbags will feature scenes from the Tim Burton movie. Additionally, two other collections  featuring Halloween-themes of skulls and bats will be available.

Harveys are made from seat belt material, woven together to create bags, wallets and other accessories.

The popular handbag company, based in Santa Ana, debuted a Disney-inspired line of bags and wallets in 2008. Harveys spokeswoman Ashley Cope said the “Nightmare Before Christmas” line is the fifth Disney-inspired collection.

The bags will range in  price from $128 to $238 and carry a lifetime guarantee.

Cope said Dana and Melanie Harvey, who started the handbag company, will attend the launch at Disney Vault 28 from 5 to 8 p.m. on Saturday.

Here are some photos from Harvey’s of the prints used in the Nightmare Before Christmas designs —

EDIT: Here are photos from the bags, now available at Harvey’s site:

No word right now as to whether these new designs will reach Walt Disney World stores any time soon, but I’ll keep you posted. Currently, most stores carrying the Disney Dooney & Bourke bags also carry these Harvey’s designs (which I’ve been meaning to post about since April – my photo files are a scary place!) —

As much as I love Jack Skellington, there IS something about Minnie’s bow design that really appeals to me. I think it’s the polka dots, they always get me!

Jack Skellington Antenna Toppers and Other Halloween Fun

Sunday night the family and I popped over for a quick visit to the Magic Kingdom, my first since returning from Disneyland. We didn’t stay long, but I snagged a few photos of some fun merchandise while there –

I really like the different style of these vs. the usual Mickey heads.

I don’t recall seeing this much of the “Runaway Brain”-style Mickey in past Halloween merchandise but I could be mistaken. It could also just be a monster/Frankenstein-type Mickey too (or frazzled/stressed-out Mickey??)…but I like to think it’s from Runaway Brain. 😉 I’ll be visiting the parks this weekend and should get more photos of fun Halloween merchandise to share, so stay tuned!
