There's really nothing I like better than when two things I deeply enjoy are brought together somehow. My most favorite author ever, Ray Bradbury, has always had a long relationship with Disney. He was good friends with Walt Disney (my other idol) and visited Disneyland often with his daughters. Also, the Walt Disney Company adapted his novel Something Wicked This Way comes in the 1970's into a motion picture. I've also loved Disney-related stuff my whole life and as an adult I've had the immense pleasure of enjoying Disneyland time and again. Disney and Bradbury have crossed paths before, but never like this.
Last autumn Disneyland dedicated a tree in Frontierland (near-ish the entrance of The Golden Horseshoe and across from the Shooting Exposition) to Mr. Bradbury and his book, The Halloween Tree. It's decorated with purple lights and orange pumpkins and there's a plaque dedicating it to Ray. It's truly wonderful that the people at Disney would honor him in such a way.
MiceAge has some great photos here, if you scroll about halfway down.
David and I will be at Disneyland in just a couple of weeks and I simply cannot express how much I am looking forward to seeing this. I think it will be a really special, moving thing for me to see. As much as I was already looking forward to the trip, I'm looking forward to it so much more now.
P.S. I will most certainly take a few pictures of the Halloween Tree while we're there and post them here as well.
