First Look: The Grand Californian Lobby’s Stunning Fall & Halloween Decorations
The Halloween transformation is complete at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa! Guests can now enjoy the hotel’s stunning seasonal decor, including an impressive giant edible display crafted by the pastry team. This year’s theme features characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
This massive, edible display features Jack Skellington and Sally holding hands at the peak of the iconic Spiral Hill, silhouetted against a full moon backdrop. The base of the mountain is decorated with gathered jack-o’-lanterns and twisting vines on one side, while the other side showcases a spooky graveyard, complete with tombstones and Jack’s ghostly dog, Zero, flying overhead.
The opposite side of the display features a chilling scene with Oogie Boogie himself, towering over a graveyard dotted with carved jack-o’-lanterns, the moon hanging ominously behind him. A detailed sign nearby gives guests all the specifics on the impressive creation, including a list of its key edible ingredients.
The sign reads:
“Over the course of 800 hours, our talented pastry team brought to life a creation fit for the Pumpkin King himself, crafted from:
- 140 pounds of fondant
- 175 pounds of chocolate
- 150 pounds of powdered sugar
- 105 pounds of rice cereal
- 38 pounds of cereal

In another part of the lobby you can see Jack Skellington’s work area where he performed his Christmas experiments. A chalk board is in the back with his formulas and equations. Shelves hold jars with “interesting” ingredients and books while the table has a microscope and potions.
