1. You Suffer From Cucerbitophobia: Cucerbitophobia is the fear of squash, melons and gourds, including pumpkins. If this is your phobia, you'll want to stay far away from Disneyland during the Fall season. Mickey and Minnie shaped pumpkins loom over the gateway as you enter the park and more than 300 unique, hand-carved, pumpkins decorate Main Street.
2. Space Mountain Terrifies You Enough Already: The "Imagineers" at Disney kick the spooky factor of Space Mountain up a notch for Halloween by turning it into Ghost Galaxy. Now instead of flying through the pitch-black darkness of space, you speed though the pitch-black darkness of haunted space. Ghosts and freaky red-eyed things flit about and pop out when you least expect them. A fiery-faced spectacle ends the ride with a haunting laugh that will linger in your dreams nightmares forever.
3. The Smell of Gingerbread Nauseates You: The Haunted Mansion gets an elaborate re-make for the Halloween season as Jack Skellington takes over this classic Disney ride. You're transported into the realm of Halloween Town as the story of the Pumpkin King unfolds throughout the mansion, ending in a poof of scented gingerbread in the dance hall. If you're lucky, you might even run into Jack and Sally.
4. You're Going To Be Heart-Broken If You Don't Get A Picture With Classically Dressed Disney Characters: Halloween is a time for costumes and dress-up fun and the classic Disney characters are no exception. Mickey and Minnie are resplendent in purple and orange formal attire (including a purple top hat for Mickey) and Pluto can be seen walking around like a skeleton. Even Donald Duck gets in on the fun, spending his days masquerading as a jack-o-lantern.
5. Disney Villains Make Your Skin Crawl: Disney villains reign supreme during the Fall season at Disneyland. Find the seldom seen Cruella DeVille, Maleficent, Big Bad Wolf and Hades along with classic villains, Captain Hook, Storm Troopers and the Evil Queen. Don't be surprised that when you interact with these characters, they keep their villainous demeanor. Cruella might even offer you candy in exchange for a puppy.
6. You Abhor Unique, Once-A-Year Disney Treats: Even the treats at Disneyland get dressed up for the Fall season. You'll find a varied assortment of Halloween themed caramel apples including Minnie Mouse, Jack Skellington and the Space Mountain Ghoul. Stroll through downtown Disney while you munch on Mickey-shaped pumpkin beignets, pumpkin pie and of course, pumpkin fudge.
This is me dreaming of going to Disneyland in the Fall.
In case you couldn't guess, none of these reasons are enough to make me not want to go to Disneyland in the Fall.
Personally, I think Disneyland in the Fall is one of the best times of the year to visit the magical kingdom. Temperatures are typically cooler, lines are a little shorter and there are pumpkins, candy corn and special treats everywhere!
