Is it ever too early for Halloween? The right answer to that question is no, it is never too early for Halloween updates, especially when it is concerning Disneyland!

This festive time will include fun Halloween experiences for families! Disney characters will be dressed in their Halloween costumes, there will be new treats around the parks, and you’ll see plenty of new spooky decor.

The giant Mickey Jack-O-Lantern will return, along with themed rides, and villainous character visits! The Main Street Pumpkin Festival will take over Main Street, U.S.A., with pumpkin displays in shops all down the streets! Haunted Mansion Holiday will be returning, which gives the classic Haunted Mansion ride an even spookier look with decorations inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.

And there’s a NEW adventure this year, with Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit, a Halloween-themed pumpkin hunt through the park!

Each night of Halloween Time, “Halloween Screams” will show in Disneyland Park! It’s a projection and special effects show that features fireworks on weekend nights!
