Bats Day – August 27th at Disneyland

Bats Day is an annual event that draws like minded folk (visit the website you’ll see what I mean) from around the world to share in some particularly dark and gothic aspects of Disneyland. This year it’s grown so big it’s actually a weekend (August 27th and 28th). They’ve also expanded their ‘black market‘ show and sale event. The list of vendors reads like a gothic and horror who’s who. Sounds like fun.

What this means for the typical Disneyland tourist is an influx of black attire and longer lines at the Haunted Mansion. It’s also a great opportunity to see some really amazing fashion statements. See these photos from last year for examples.
