HalloweenTiming...

A lot of people have been writing in complaining about the lack of detail in DCA's "HalloweenTime" decorations. While Disneyland Park is getting some additions to the successful displays they had last year, many are noticing that DCA doesn't seem to be getting an equal share of the theming... even more so, some areas seem to be getting less theming than last year.

There's a simple answer to this...

The main reason that it's not getting more "HalloweenTime" decorations is purely a financial decision. Does this mean, Iger and his Suits have morphed into Einser? No, not really. It simply makes economic sense really... I happen to agree with the reasoning as well.

You see, DCA is about to undergo a dramatic transformation. One that will last at least five to six years and if that part proves successful then we can count on another four or five years more of even more dramatic changes. Now in the middle of all this, would you create a bunch of expensive decorations only to have them be obsolete and useless in a couple years? It wouldn't be smart to do this. If you're looking for an elaborate expansion of the "HalloweenTime" theming it won't be coming to DCA before the 2010/11 timeframe. By then, enough of the changes will be established so that the can use some truly creative designs that won't fit into the current layout of the Park.

Until then, you'll just have to watch DCA's older sister get all the attention as the details get lavished on it over the next couple years and the new Halloween fireworks show gets underway next year. But enough about that... if I keep talking and my next Anaheim Blue Sky Alert won't be more than a sentence long! Let's just suffice to say that DCA isn't trying to "Trick" anyone...

They're just going to be giving out those "Treats" over the next few years.
