Halloweentime at the Disneyland Resort is always a treasured and anticipated time of the year, but there's even more to be excited about this season! Spooky and not-so-scary offerings are expanding across both Disneyland park and Disney's California Adventure, and I wanted to share the top 5 things I'm most looking forward to (both new and old): 1. Haul-O-Ween celebration in Cars Land - Disney's California Adventure Cars Land is undoubtedly my favorite area in DCA, and this year it's getting a new Halloween makeover! Lightning McQueen and Mater will be greeting guests in their Halloween costumes, rides will get new themed music, and the whole land will boast new decorations from top to bottom. If this will be anything like the detailed Christmas decorations from holiday seasons past, it's sure to be quite the treat! 2. Buena Vista Street decorations - Disney's California Adventure Another area in DCA that will get decked out for the season this year is the main entrance and accompanying Buena Vista Street. Oogie Boogie from The Nightmare Before Christmas will loom over the turnstiles at the from entrance of the park, bats will take over the exterior of the Carthay Circle restaurant, and the Headless Horseman will be immortalized in statue form to greet guests as they enter the park. I'm sure these new additions will set the mood for your day at DCA! ![]() 3. Haunted Mansion Holiday - Disneyland One of the fan-favorite (and my favorite!) parts of Halloweentime at Disneyland is coming back for another season of frightful fun at the Haunted Mansion attraction in New Orleans Square. Jack, Sally, Oogie Boogie, and others from The Nightmare Before Christmas take over the mansion, totally re-inventing the ride inside out and top to bottom. And there's even a real gingerbread house created for the ballroom scene that will take center stage. It all starts on September 15th, and will last through the end of the year (given it's relevance with the Christmas season as well). Be mindful though that the attraction has to close for this overhaul, and we'll probably see that take effect soon. 4. Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy - Disneyland The Haunted Mansion isn't the only attraction that gets a Halloween overlay! The classic thrill ride in Tomorrowland is updated with creepy music and ghostly figures you're trying to escape in space. If you enjoyed the Star Wars overlay on the ride, Hyperspace Mountain, I think you'll enjoy this one as well! It's nice to have different versions to enjoy throughout the year. 5. Mickey's Halloween Party - Disneyland The "main event" of Halloweentime at Disneyland is the hard-ticket soiree at Disneyland: Mickey's Halloween Party. This after-hours party in the park happens on select nights throughout the Halloween season, and features specialty entertainment, character meet and greets, and trick or treating for guests of all ages. You can also show extra Halloween spirit by dressing costume, which is typically a no-go at other times of the year. The first party is just over a month away on September 20th, so get your tickets now! Planning at visit to the Disneyland Resort this Fall?
