A Life Size Jack Skellington, Just In Time for Halloween

What does any real, true Disney fan need at Halloween? A LIFE SIZE JACK SKELLINGTON!

In the words of my favorite M & M, THEY DO EXIST.

A life size Jack Skellington makes your Halloween decor. He stands by your door, scaring people as they arrive, in all his 6′ 4″ glory, waving his hands and saying one of his 12 sayings, grabbing the attention of every guest.

*This post is sponsored by Wayfair!*

And if you want to be creepy, like us? The first night you set him up, you hide him in a dark-ish corner by the door through which your young adult children enter, late at night, when the house is dark. Then you listen for his or her arrival, as they react to the WE MUST STOP CHRISTMAS FROM COMING that comes calmly and clearly from the darkness.

You can’t buy this kind of entertainment.

Actually, you can, from Wayfair, home of all things fun and necessary for your home. With a huge selection of Halloween decoration options, you can set your home up to be scary, creepy, fun or a mix of both, all at excellent prices and FAST. (And Wayfair has free shipping over $49!)

This year, we were going with a skeleton theme. The husband’s 50th birthday party was this month, and I’d already set up some Halloween decorations before his party. It was easy to seamlessly mix the skeleton decor with the birthday decor, and it got a good laugh from all the guests.

I went to order some more decorations from Wayfair, and first I saw this fun light-up skull that changes color and rotates through several colors.

I knew he’d fit right in on my family room mantel. Then I saw the life size Jack Skellington and that was it. I knew he belonged in our Disney-fan home.

Jack comes needing assembly, but it’s super-easy to put him together. Directions are clear and I had him standing up, ready to creep out my curfew-testing son, in under 10 minutes. Full transparency: I stood on the third step of my stairs in my foyer so I could easily see his neck where you popped his head and so I could easily attach his clothing. He does have a cord, as he’s not powered by batteries, so plan that when you decide where to place him. (And when I get to Target tomorrow, I’m buying a black tablecloth to go around the base so the frame is covered but for now, I wanted you to see the real look.)

Jack Skellington is nothing short of awesome. He has his 12 phrases, his arms wave and his mouth moves. He looks identical to his movie character and I only need to get a life size Sally now to fully complete my Disney Halloween decor.

Wayfair.com has just about everything you can want for Halloween decorations, Thanksgiving, Christmas, every day and more. I’ve bought a lot from Wayfair, and it always arrive quickly and on time. Products are high-quality and unique, and my life size Jack Skellington proved this. I’ve bought so many decorations for Halloween from various places, yet I’ve never seen this big guy before.

Whatever you’re looking for, Wayfair breaks it down. Indoor, outdoors. Lights, wreaths, lights, and then there’s a section on theme. It’s so easy to put things all together!

After scaring the creeps out of everyone for the first day, we moved him into the corner of the family room. His voice goes off on a sensor, so it’s even more fun when you’re reading on the couch or engrossed in working or cooking or whatever, and he starts talking, thanks to the fast, loud car that rounds the corner on the other side of the window behind him. We didn’t plan it that way, but it works out perfectly. He is displayed in the light, no one can knock him over in shock and we benefit from random traffic.

Wayfair can help you get your house ready for the upcoming holidays for less. Whatever your budget is, you can find pieces to either accent your existing holiday theme or be the center of the whole house. It’s easy to get carried away!

Seeing T’Challa, aka Black Panther in the parks Seeing T’Challa, aka Black Panther in the parks is awesome….and in this case, I kinda got to see two. Check out his shadow on the right.

At Disney California Adventure last week, maybe I had bad timing but I didn’t get to see many characters roaming. I got lucky for this photo, and was so glad he stopped before heading into Avengers HQ. I’m headed back to Avengers Campus next week and I hope to see Moonknight and Scarlet Witch…and maybe snag new Wanda ears.

Spent yesterday afternoon at Hamilton Brewery here Spent yesterday afternoon at Hamilton Brewery here in Rancho Cucamonga. Tried a few of their amazing craft beers: Watermelon Man (limited availability, tastes like a melted Jolly Rancher 🍉), Double Mango (just like it sounds 🥭), POP Blonde (passion fruit combination 🍍) and Cold Fool (grapefruit yum). My favorite was the Watermelon Man but all four were fantastic. Also sampled the Bignight Oil (barrel-aged bourbon and imperial stout) and we’re going to go back to have it specifically. Sticking with one flavor profile at a time! They provide samples so you can be sure you like it before you settle in at a table outside (in shade if you want it) to enjoy it with one of the many food trucks options that rotate as well as live entertainment. We listened to Heritage Harmonic yesterday while the city of Rancho co-sponsored a charity cornhole tournament that was fun to watch. 

Magilla’s BBQ was on-site from noon to 4pm with brisket, pulled pork, smoked mac and cheese and more. Those pickled onions 😘 SO good, all of it.

All my friends know I am not a fan of the color pi All my friends know I am not a fan of the color pink, which made it even more fun to choose it for our over-the-top fancy costumes for our friend’s annual Kentucky Derby Party. A trip to a local thrift store and then to the Dollar Tree, and I was ready to assemble our outfits. Pink My Kitty Pony toys and a bunch of hot glue and baby head bandeaus turned our hats into silly pieces of art, and for $18, I bought the dress, the hubs’ shirt and tie. Add a few fake flowers onto my Carlos Santana shoes (that I already had) and the hubs’ shirt and we’re good to go. The party was a blast, and it was fun being foofy for the day, bourbon drinks and champagne in hand while eating delicious finger foods. 

If you’re considering a thrift store run, look for a Deseret store near you. The prices are fair and the store gives back to the community in many ways; our location has its own job development/search building attached. How cool, right? We win with affordable clothes and it helps actual people, not big business. (And I frequently find items with tags still on. That tie is a Jos A. Bank tie, marked $58 normally, and I got it for $6!)

I took a much-needed break this morning and headed I took a much-needed break this morning and headed to a local park I drive by all the time but haven’t ever explored. It’s a breezy day, perfect for walking its paths through rolling hills and fields of flowers, permeated with the heavy scent of jasmine from the many blooming bushes. Then I happened upon this solitary rose. There’s some symbolism here, an analogy I can’t put words to satisfactorily, but check it out. It’s all by itself, far away from any other flowers, popping up wild in the middle of plain mulch, no real reason for it to be there but it’s thriving. Its vibrant red petals and green leaves make the surroundings stark. You almost miss it if you don’t look past the dark green plain shrubs behind it; it doesn’t appear that it’s supposed to be there. Alone, peaceful, beautiful, it will probably grow and fill the empty space around it, attracting 🐝 🐝 . It doesn’t need anything else, yet it has changed the whole garden area into something different. Life should be like that more often.

If you haven’t done a superhero pose in Avengers If you haven’t done a superhero pose in Avengers Campus, are you even a fan?? As Disney Magic Key holders, my daughter and I go together frequently. I love that she’s as into Marvel as I am, so you can find us in Avengers Campus doing all the photo opps, eating all the themed food and maybe enjoying a cocktail at Pym Tasting Lab. Which is your favorite photo opportunity in Disney California Adventure? (Bonus if it’s an Avengers-related one.)
