Jolly Jack O'Lanterns and a Hearse - Friday's Fotos

 

 

Disney's Jolly Jack O'Lanterns

 

This hearse was decked out with smiling jack o'lanterns and Santa hats that seemed a little at odds with a hearse.  It's just so festive.  I suppose it could be a celebration of somebody's life, but it was just one of those things that caught my eye.

Christine, that does look rather festive, and the hearst might be what you would see in the movie, "Interview with a Vampire," that takes place in New Orleans.  Nice photo,

Pamela - The thought of a New Orleans type funeral did cross my mind.

Christine,

Not sure festive is the right word to describe this scene, but it is pretty. :)

Christine, Disneyland?  Great photo regardless!

Posted by Tony Cannon, e-PRO & Darcy Cannon, SFR - The C Team (RE/Max Velocity Realty) over 1 year ago

HI Christine - great photo. I love Disneyland at Halloween time. It has been a while. Thanks for sharing the photo!

Posted by Sharon Paxson Newport Beach Real Estate (Prudential California Realty, DRE License 01501912) over 1 year ago

Hi Christine, I took a similar photo 2 years when I was at Disneyland and used it for my Halloween post, I think last year. It was and remains a very cool coach,:-) Always a fun place no matter the age.

Christine - So what does the pumpkin say, "Ho Ho Boo Hoo!?" :-)

Posted by John Mayer (Pytha Realty Group, Merritt Island / Cape Canaveral, Florida) over 1 year ago

Christine,  I would guess the the hearse belonged to Happy Time Funeral Home.  You know Casper's favorite color is Boo and his favorite song is I An't Got No Body. :)

Posted by Don Eichler (Century 21 Shirley Hooks, Inc.) over 1 year ago

John - I guess I'll have to go back to Disneyland to look for a few more.

Curt - I'd like to be a little further outside that particular box ; )

Patty - Boo to you too.

Rene - It is strangely bright and cheery.

Bill - They sure did.

Steve - Festive strikes me as a little odd.

Tony - I was wondering when somebody would identify it.  Yes, you're right.

Sharon - It's just extra fun at Halloween and Christmas.

William - It's one of our favorite places.

John - That would work for me.

Don - LOL  : - )

That is a happy hearse isn't it?

Lucky it's Friday, right Christine?
