What to expect at Disneyland during Halloween Time 2018
Halloween Time at Disneyland returns this year from Sept. 7- Oct. 31 with experience themed specifically for the holiday at both Disney and California Adventure.
There will be a number of seasonal attraction overlays, Halloween-themed décor and food and beverage offerings, plus encounters with Disney villains, happy haunts will materialize around every corner.
As we previously reported Vampirina, from the Disney Channel and Disney Junior hit series will be making her first appearance.
Here’s what to expect at each park:
California Adventure
Oogie Boogie’s oversized silhouette will beckon guests through the main entrance of the park, and hover over a swarm of bats that circle around Carthay Circle Restaurant and Lounge.
Halloween décor extends along Buena Vista Street to Carthay Circle, where guests will encounter a 10-foot-tall statue of the Headless Horseman holding his jack-o-lantern head to the sky.
Cars Land will receive a Haul-O-Ween makeover as the townsfolk of Radiator Springs don Halloween costumes. Lightning McQueen, Mater, Cruz, Red and DJ in “car-stume” as they get ready to go “trunk-or-treating.” Popular Cars Land attractions transform as well: Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree takes on a spooky tone as Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters gets a seasonal twist to become Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! transforms nightly into Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark, bringing Halloween adventure to this popular attraction.
Disneyland
Main Street, U.S.A. is transformed into a pumpkin paradise with giant Mickey Mouse jack-o’-lantern and a Pumpkin Festival.
The Haunted Mansion once again becomes Haunted Mansion Holiday, inspired by the Walt Disney Pictures classic “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Space Mountain in Tomorrowland becomes Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, a reimagining of the popular attraction.
Additionally, to commemorate the Mexican holiday of Day of the Dead, guests will encounter the colorful Día de los Muertos tribute in Frontierland, an exhibit that features a musical trio of iconic skeleton figurines, brightly colored flowers and other decorative items.
Mickey’s Halloween Party
Mickey’s Halloween Party, the after-hours, separate-ticket event, returns with “Halloween Screams,” a supernatural firework show. The nighttime spectacular is hosted by “Master of Scare-omonies,” Jack Skellington.
In addition, the “Frightfully Fun Parade” led by The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow returns. Guests attending Mickey’s Halloween Party may also visit Villains Square for a chance to encounter and take photos with Disney villains.
As an added value, guests with a Mickey’s Halloween Party ticket will have the opportunity to “mix in” with regular park guests for three hours prior to the party’s start time. These guests also may visit both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure parks with their tickets.
