By 1 Comment

So you know how the holiday season is one of the most busiest seasons for Disney World? Well, in Disneyland, one of the busiest seasons is Halloween Time, which happens this year from August 22nd through October 31st.

Storybook Land Canal Boats

That’s because Disneyland goes ALL out for Halloween. Both parks get decorations and Oogie Boogie Bash has become something of a legend, which is why tickets generally sell out fast for it. Then there are the TONS of Halloween snacks that arrive throughout the resort, so yes, people flock to Disneyland for Halloween. If you’re one of those people, though, you’re going to need to know about some ride closures that are also happening during that time.

Why Fans Are Still OBSESSED with This Universal Orlando Ride 18 Years After It Closed

By 3 Comments

Universal’s Back to the Future: The Ride closed nearly two decades ago, yet the once-revolutionary ride is arguably more popular now than it was during its 15 years of operation.

Based on the mega-successful film trilogy from cowriters Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis, the ride was a mainstay at Universal parks through the 1990s and early 2000s.
