This is Halloween! Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas fills our hearts with horror from Halloween to Christmas. We as a family look forward to the return of the Pumpkin King each year, especially at Disneyland.

If you haven’t seen the film, Jack Skellington rules over Halloween Town, but is curious about the merriment of Christmas Town. The 1993 Tim Burton film follows him as he attempts to spread yuletide cheer to his Halloween town.

To celebrate the return of Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, the iconic Haunted Mansion ride gets a seasonal overlay with Jack and his friends. Mickey Mouse and Jack Skellington are a perfect pair for celebrating this time of year!

These Mickey Mouse shaped Rice Krispies treats are decorated with Jack Skellington’s face. They’re perfect for any Disney fan who wants something a tad bit spooky!

Making these Mickey Mouse-shaped Jack Skellington Rice Krispies Treats is as easy as 1-2-3!

You’ll start by making Rice Krispies Treats using the simple recipe. Next, you’ll make royal icing. Finally, you’ll decorate your treats!

Time Hack: use store bought royal icing to save on time.

Step 1: Make Rice Krispies Treats

Rice Krispies Treats Ingredients

• 3 TBSP unsalted butter
• 1 package marshmallows or 4 cups miniature marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

You will also need:

• Large saucepan
• Wax paper
• 13 x 9 in pan
• Baking spray
• Mickey Mouse Head cookie cutter

Instructions:

• Prep pan with cooking spray.
• Melt butter in a large saucepan on low heat. Slowly add the marshmallows. Stir the marshmallows until completely melted. Set aside.
• Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until all of the cereal is coated.
• Using wax paper, press the mixture into the pan. Cool.
• Carefully remove the Rice Krispies treats sheet from the pan.
• Use the cookie cutter to cut out Mickey’s head. Set aside.

Step 2: Make Royal Icing

Royal Icing Ingredients

• 3 large egg whites
• 1 tsp cream of tarter
• 3 C powder sugar
• 1 tsp pure almond extract
• black gel food coloring
• Black edible spray paint

You will also need:

• 2 disposable piping bags with number 2 tip
• 1 squeeze bottle

Instructions:

• Using a standing mixer, beat the egg whites, cream of tarter, powder sugar, and almond extract until combined, smooth and stiff with peaks (about 7 minutes)
• Scoop 1/2 C of the icing into a bowl and mix in a few drops of the black gel food coloring
• Scoop the black icing into 1 piping bag
• Scoop some white icing into the second piping bag
• Mix in 2 tbsp of water into the remaining white icing and pour into the squeeze bottle

Step 3: Decorate Your Treats

In between each step, you’ll want to let the icing set and dry.

• Line up the Rice Krispies Mickey heads on a waxed paper lined counter.
• Outline the Mickey head with the white icing. Let dry.
• Squeeze icing onto the center of the Mickey head. Use a butter knife to spread the icing on the Mickey head. Let dry.
• Using the black icing, pipe out Jack’s face. Let dry
• Use the black spray paint, spray the edges of the Rice Krispies treats for effect.

They’re perfect for a Nightmare Before Christmas movie night or any Halloween celebration. My kids love something special to celebrate each season, and these scream Halloween!

Each season is filled with magic at the Disneyland Resort. There’s nowhere merrier at Christmastime than at Disneyland, and it’s one of our favorite celebrations. But HalloweenTime at Disneyland is something you truly can’t miss.

We’ve been marking the girls’ growth against the giant pumpkin on Main Street their whole lives. In addition to the charming orange pumpkins that line the storefronts on Main Street, seeing the characters in Halloween costumes of their own always brings smiles to our faces.

An extra special way we like to celebrate was to attend Mickey’s Halloween Party. When Disneyland expanded the fun to Disney California Adventure Park, it was truly something worth squealing about.

The Tim Burton film The Nightmare Before Christmas filled the park with just the right amount of spooky. Whether you’re a fan of film, of Halloween, or just all around Disney, you’re not going to want to miss this!

Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party

In place of Mickey’s Halloween Party, the Disneyland Resort is hosting Oogie Boogie’s Bash – A Disney Halloween Party. The unforgettable night of fun will be hosted at Disney California Adventure park on 20 nights.

Here’s What You Need to Know about the Oogie Boogie Bash

Separate-Ticket Event

Just like Mickey’s Halloween Party, this is an after-hours, separate-ticket event. The park closes to the general public, allowing Bash guests access to the celebration with reduced crowds and extra-special fun.

The celebration is conjured starting at 6 PM. Guests to Oogie Boogie Bash can enjoy the park for three hours before the party on Tuesday and Thursday nights (excluding October 29 and October 31), or four hours on Sunday nights (plus October 29 and 31). .

Tickets for the celebration go on sale for Disneyland Resort Annual Passholders, Disney Vacation Club members and Disney Visa card holders on Tuesday, April 23. General public ticket sales begin Tuesday, April 30th.

You can purchase your tickets at http://Disneyland.com/HalloweenParty.

TIP: Tickets do sell out!

Treat Trails featuring Disney Villains

What’s Halloween without trick-or-treating? The Treat Trails are well stocked with the yummiest Halloween candy and healthier snack options. The Oogie Boogie Bash candy stations will feature your favorite Disney villains. Don’t forget to thank the Queen of Hearts for the treats or she may commend “Off with your head!”

Villainous! Nighttime Spectacular

Oogie has cast his spell over the park and has brought his villainous pals into the park. The World of Color will be bewitched in a new nighttime spectacular, “Villainous!” The storyline to the new show follows all-new character, Shelley Marie as she decides upon her Halloween costume. Her tale is brought to life with fountains, lights, lasers, projections, and special effects. Perhaps like Shelley Marie, there’s a little something villainous in all of us.

Redwood Creek Challenge Trail

Year round, the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail is a favorite for wilderness explorers to roam and run. During Oogie Boogie Bash, the wooded area will be transformed to become a dreamlike environment filled with hauntingly beautiful colors, sounds, lights, and shadows.

DescenDance Dance Party

We’ve got all the ways to be W-I-C-K-E-D. Fans of the Descendants (i.e. my kids), will adore the dance party at the backlot of Hollywood Land. A spell is cast, summoning the Isle of the Lost dance crew who leads crowds in routines set to Descendants films. The party DJ will have you grooving all night!

Frightfully Fun Parade

For the first time in Disney California Adventure, guests will be treated to the “Frightfully Fun Parade.” The celebration is led by the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow who calls upon a cavalcade of characters. Will the villains disrupt the fun?

Mickey’s Trick and Treat Show

Fun for the whole family is kind of Mickey’s thing. Younger guests will say “Oh boy!” at the Disney Theater in Hollywood Land. The interactive stage production invites guests to join Mickey and his pals for dancing, not-so-scary tales, and candy.

Character Encounters

Dressed in their own Halloween costumes, Disney characters are available for meet and greets throughout the park. In addition to the characters dressed up, this unique opportunity allows guests to dress up.
