Disney Dooney & Bourke Haunted Mansion Handbag

This spine-tingling Haunted Mansion-Inspired Dooney & Bourke Bag will be coming to Disney Parks on September 13! If you didn't realize it, that lands on a Friday and what could be a more appropriate day for such a spooky extravagance to be released to the public? As I have mentioned previously, I am a huge fan of Disneyland and the Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride of all, so this handbag is certainly making me drool. Unfortunately though, with a price tag of $330.00 (plus tax), I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon, but please don't let me stop you from lavishing such a gift on a starving blogger. (ha!)

• Tren-D and the World of Disney Store in the Downtown Disney Marketplace

Disney's Haunted Mansion Collection

I am simply mad when it comes to all things Disney...especially their world class amusement parks! Living in Southern California, I do my best to take a trip out to Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure as often as possible. It just never gets old! Like most visitors, I have my favorite attractions and the very top of the list for me is The Haunted Mansion. As a child, the realism of its ghostly effects terrified me. As an adult I could fully appreciate the creative work that went behind it and am amazed by how well the technology has held up over time (with a few upgrades of course).

So, you can imagine my joy in sharing this new Haunted Mansion Collection available from the Disney Store. There are some excellent pieces here, many of which will make for spooky decor pieces for Halloween, but I think the one I love most of all if the Holiday ornament. Also, for one week only you can score a limited edition, glow-in-the-dark tee, featuring the mysterious fan-favorite 'Hatbox Ghost' that legendarily vanished from Disneyland's original Haunted Mansion attic scene.













Limited availability from 8/8/13 to 8/15/13!

Visit A Haunted Theme Park

You may have noticed that most, if not all, theme parks throughout the country are gearing up for the fast approaching Halloween season. Most do so by adding Halloween themed attractions, lining their pathways with eerie displays and have frightful characters lurking about the park. Each tries to bring their own unique flair to draw crowds, and it's certainly good for business. Even the zoo's are getting in on the action, offering activities for young kids and exhibits of creepy crawlies and real life animal skulls. With the passing of the busy Summer season, they are still able to lure people of all ages who are looking for some spooky fun! Want to know where you can get in on the action? Follow the link to find a Scaredy Park near you!

For the most part, the amusement parks keep the scares to a minimum, offering family friendly fun. Still, it's a good idea to check with the park you plan to attend ahead of time to make sure it is age appropriate for your little ghoul. Nevertheless, there are plenty of options for adults as well. Halloween is no longer just a holiday for children! More and more local haunted attractions are popping up around the country that are geared toward adults. Most will be advertised around town, but a good website to find local attractions is the Haunted House Directory. These are the kind of high intensity thrills that require parental consent for people under 18. In fact, there are many adults who may not be able to handle these extreme terrors. Proceed with caution, for you may not make it back alive! Muhahahaha...
