Photos: Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel Celebrates Halloween Time with a Decadent "Nightmare Before Christmas" Display

"Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems... In a place that perhaps you've seen in your dreams."

While the lobby of Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa quite often gets decked out for the holidays, this year, it's received a sprinkle of the holidays and Halloween – with a new display inspired by The Nightmare Before Christmas.

What's Happening:

  • Guests visiting the Grand Californian during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort will surely delight in a special new treat-filled display.
  • The Nightmare Before Christmas-themed display recreates the iconic moment between Jack Skellington and Sally from the film atop the twirled mountain – but here, it's all made out of fondant.

  • Specifically, the display is created from sweet treats like fondant, marshmallows, chocolate and more – an effort that took Disneyland Resort teams over 800 hours to create.
  • Sally dons her iconic dress, while Jack takes on his Sandy Claws persona.
  • Elsewhere in the display, you'll find other iconic characters from the film, like Oogie Boogie and the Mayor.

  • Zero and his dog house are also included.

  • If this festive display makes you hungry or activates your sweet tooth, there are also some treats available nearby

  • This is just a part of the Halloween Time fun at the Disneyland Resort – which also includes Haunted Mansion themed decor at the Disneyland Hotel and Monsters, Inc. themed decor at the Pixar Place Hotel.
  • Halloween Time continues daily through Halloween itself, October 31, throughout the Disneyland Resort.
