Disneyland unveils all the 2025 Halloween Time events
Disneyland is set to unleash a spooktacular Halloween season in 2025, transforming both parks and resort areas with ghoulish delights and festive fun. Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort will run from Aug. 22 through Oct 31, bringing back beloved traditions and introducing new twists for guests of all ages.
Halloween at Disneyland
Halloween magic is on its way back, as quintessential fall sights, sounds and flavors take over the resort. Signature decoration elements — ambient orange lighting, bunting, leaves, and of course, more pumpkins than anyone could count — will once again materialize.
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their friends will dress to impress this Halloween in bright new looks featuring swirling colors of purple, green and orange — a twist on their 70th Celebration outfits.
The beloved Haunted Mansion Holiday attraction overlay invites you into a world where Halloween’s spooky charm collides with Christmas’s magical glow. It’s a must-see for fans of “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas” who want to reunite with Santa Jack, Sally and Zero inside the eerie estate.
Catch “Halloween Screams,” the nighttime spectacular filled with haunting projections and special effects showing creatures of the night and Disney Villains like Hades and Ursula. Are they truly evil — or just misunderstood? On select nights, your experience may be accompanied by fireworks over the skies of Disneyland.
Disney’s Happiest Haunts Guided Tour unearths chilling stories and thrilling experiences in a two-hour walking tour across Disneyland park. The tour includes Lightning Lane access to a select attraction and reserved viewing for “Halloween Screams.”
Halloween at Disney California Adventure
Radiator Springs will take on its wheelie boo-tiful transformation — Radiator Screams — featuring Halloween overlays like Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween and Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree. Lightning McQueen and his friends will take part in the fun in their creative car-stumes.
Available in the evenings at Avengers Campus, don’t forget to check out Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark. Groot has been left behind in the Collector’s Fortress, which is overrun with monsters. In a thrilling chase, you and your friends must team up with Rocket to distract the beasts and escape the chaos with Groot before they catch you.
In the Disney Theater Mickey Mouse and his pals dress up to celebrate Halloween in “Mickey’s Trick and Treat”! This interactive show will temporarily replace “Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!” during the fall season, ringing in the spirit of spooky without any real scares. You’ll even get to take home a special treat.
Halloween Food and Drink
No better season to try something wildly delicious, like the returning Oogie Boogie lemonade and new jalapeño-cream cheese bread. Keep your eyes peeled for new limited-time snacks and returning fan-favorite flavors across the resort.
Must-See Halloween Merch
