Pumpkin carving has come a long way since I was a kid. Seriously, I had your standard upside down triangle eyes and jagged Jack-o-Lantern Grin; nothing fancy and certainly nothing that would be considered photo or Pinterest-worthy. With the introduction of stencils and cool DIY carving kits. carving that orange gourd into a masterpiece can be at the very tip of your fingers. Since we love Disney, almost to a fault, I felt like we had to do a little round-up of the best Disney pumpkin carving ideas on the web!
