At a 400,000 square-foot Disney warehouse in Cerritos, California, cast members craft and maintain the decor that transforms Disneyland for each season, from Halloween pumpkin displays to winter holiday-scapes. The facility brings together machine shops, fabrication and sewing teams, and paint specialists whose work is guided by storytelling, with staff describing every design choice as needing a narrative purpose rather than being decorative for its own sake.

Among the featured workers is Tristen Tierney, an associate project manager who began deconstructing Disneyland decor as a child before landing his dream job with the resort enhancement team. The park's Halloween decorations, including fibreglass Mickey Mouse-shaped pumpkins that replaced older foam versions, officially go up on 21 August and come down on 1 November, requiring materials tough enough to survive Southern California's hottest months. The team inspects and refurbishes each of Disneyland's more than 8,000 individual decor pieces before reuse, and installation work must be squeezed into overnight hours between the park's midnight closing and 7:30am opening.
