As a travel advisor with a passion for Disney and for creating unforgettable experiences, I'm thrilled to share all the enchanting details about Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort in 2024. With exciting offerings and experiences, its the perfect way to celebrate Halloween.
I was fortunate enough to visit during the opening weekend for Halloween Time. No matter how many times I've attended Halloween Time season in the past, or how many visits I will make this year, I always have a great time and am happy to share it with you. Whether you’re a Disney fanatic or just looking for a magical getaway, this year’s Halloween celebration is brimming with spooky surprises, delightful treats, and festive fun for all ages.
A Spooktacular Transformation
From August 23 through October 31st, the Disneyland Resort undergoes a bewitching transformation that brings out the spooky spirit in every corner. Main Street USA in Disneyland Park, is adorned with vibrant pumpkins, colorful autumn leaves, and iconic Disney characters dressed in their Halloween best. The transformation extends to Disney’s California Adventure Park, where you’ll find festive decor and eerie details inspired by the spirit of Halloween.
Don’t Miss the Haunted Mansion Holiday
One of the highlights of Halloween Time is the Haunted Mansion Holiday, where Jack Skellington from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas takes over the classic Haunted Mansion attractions. This seasonal overlay combines Halloween and Christmas in a whimsical and eerie way, making it a must-see for fans of the film and anyone who enjoys a good spook. The gingerbread house is always a standout. Be sure to keep an eye out for the monkey bride.
Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party
The Oogie Boogie Bash is the main event of Halloween Time, held on select nights at Disney California Adventure Park. This special-ticket event features exclusive entertainment, immersive treat trails, character encounters, and the highly anticipated “Frightfully Fun Parade.” Villains, both classic and new, come out in full force, making this a night of mischief and magic that you won’t want to miss.
Spooky Sweets and Tasty Treats
No trip to Disneyland during Halloween Time would be complete without indulging in the seasonal snacks and sweets. From pumpkin-spiced churros to caramel apple cake pops, the resort offers a wide array of themed treats that are as Instagram-worthy as they are delicious. Other not to miss treats are the Maleficent Dragon sundae and the pumpkin bread pudding. Be sure to check out the seasonal menus at the various dining locations across the parks.
Family-Friendly Fun
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort isn’t just for those seeking scares. Be sure to check out Mickey’s Trick & Treat Show for interactive storytelling and dancing. The parks offer plenty of family-friendly activities, from festive parades to character meet and greets with Mickey, Minnie, and their friends in Halloween costumes.
Planning Your Visit
As a travel advisor, my top tip for experiencing Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is to plan ahead. With the popularity of this seasonal celebration, tickets for the Oogie Boogie Bash and dining reservations can sell out quickly. Make sure to book early to secure your spot at these events. Additionally, consider staying at one of the Disneyland Resort hotels to fully immerse yourself in the Halloween magic.
Final Thoughts
Halloween Time as the Disneyland Resort is truly a magical experience that combines the thrill of the spooky season with the enchanting world of Disney. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or returning for another year of fun, this celebration offers something for everyone.
