Halloween Returns to Disneyland

Disneyland Park will be filled with Disney villains, Mickey Mouse, and his friends in Halloween costumes as Halloween Time returns to Disneyland Resort from September 17 to October 31. The season’s highlights include the return of Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, a haunted version of the popular Tomorrowland ride, and the Haunted Mansion Holiday, a blend of Halloween and Christmas inspired by “Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas.” Additionally, guests can enjoy the new nighttime water show, “World of Color,” at Disney California Adventure Park.

Halloween Time offers families the opportunity to experience seasonal attractions and decor, and interact with beloved Disney characters in whimsical Halloween costumes. Guests can also have spooky fun with Disney villains. The popular private-party event, Mickey’s Halloween Party, will return for 10 special nights in October.

For Halloween fun, guests can enjoy Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland, where the adventure turns haunted with ghosts appearing out of the darkness and reaching out as guests speed through space. The ride includes eerie sound effects, haunting music, and thrilling drops.
