My name is Jon and I am from Southern California. I live about 30 minutes from Disneyland and had an annual pass for 20+ years before they priced me out.

Hey there Jon! I know what you mean by pricing you out. It's getting crazy. Our saving grace is that Denise gets in for free (although there are more and more black out dates) and I have a Disney Chase Credit Card where I rack up points to pay for my annual pass. Welcome to the forum!

hi, Jon. I've been to DisneyWORLD a number of times (20+ I guess) but am planning my first trip to Disneyland this fall. I wanna do a California road trip starting in Anaheim and ending up in San Fran. Have you ever been to Rogers Gardens at Halloween time? It looks awesome and is the primary reason we're doing a fall trip to Disney.

I wanna do a California road trip starting in Anaheim and ending up in San Fran. Have you ever been to Rogers Gardens at Halloween time? It looks awesome and is the primary reason we're doing a fall trip to Disney. Hi W3. Roger's Gardens is a large Nursery in the Newport beach area (they have a large gazebo that was built for Disneyland, but was removed because Walt didn't like it). At Halloween they sell 6-7 different types of Pumpkins and decorate one of their large display areas with various themed rooms. I have picked up a lot of good ideas for decorating from these displays. Another event I would suggest is "Rise of the Jack-o-lantern" at Descanso Gardens in the Pasadena/La Cañada Flintridge area. www.therise.org/ www.descansogardens.org/ We went for the first time last year and it was amazing. The gift shop has all kinds of cool Halloween stuff and the carving and pumpkin displays are amazing. If you are just going as adults or bringing older kids I would also suggest Knott's Halloween Haunt. (https://www.facebook.com/KnottsScaryFarm/) This is the only time I go to Knott's Berry Farm. It is like stepping into a Horror Movie. The mazes are very well done (usually 10 or 12) and the earlier you go in the season, the shorter the lines are. Another suggestion on your way to San Francisco is the "Winchester Mystery House" is San Jose. www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/ I have been on this tour twice and would go again in a heartbeat. Hope this helps with your trip

Welcome to the forum! Fortunately I also have a couple of friends that have offered to sign us in whenever they can. When it got to be the price of a house payment for me, my wife and my son to go, we had to call it quits. I miss that free parking a discounts in all the stores and restaurants though.

Hope this helps with your trip Thanks for the tips, Jon! This 'Halloween Haunt'...do they have like chainsaw killers running amok in there? I won't go to Universal's Horror Nights because of that...I don't do gory/slasher killer stuff. Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party is my speed. LOL

It is a lot of scary looking things coming out of the fog and plenty of jump scares and chainsaws
