Disneyland Resort hosts Halloween Time through 31 October

Disneyland Resort (Disneyland Resort) in Anaheim is continuing Halloween Time through 31 October 2026, bringing seasonal entertainment, themed attractions and decorations to its two parks. The programme places Halloween at the centre of an autumn visit to Southern California, with Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure both involved.

Halloween Time continues across Disneyland Resort until 31 October

Disney announced Halloween Time for the period from 21 August through 31 October 2026. The operator describes the programme as a resort-wide seasonal celebration, with themed versions of attractions, entertainment, character appearances and decorations. The official seasonal calendar places the event in both parks and identifies it as included with admission.

At Disneyland Park, the programme includes Haunted Mansion Holiday, which gives the attraction a seasonal presentation inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Halloween Screams is scheduled as a nighttime spectacular with fireworks on selected nights. Disney California Adventure includes Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween, Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, Guardians of the Galaxy - Monsters After Dark and Mickey’s Trick and Treat.

The operator’s June announcement also lists Halloween-themed clothing for Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and friends in Town Square, together with a large Mickey Mouse pumpkin on Main Street, U.S.A. The Anaheim visitor guide confirms that Halloween decorations extend across the resort during the same period.

Haunted Mansion Holiday links the event to Disneyland Park

The seasonal programme changes how familiar spaces are presented rather than creating a separate venue. Haunted Mansion Holiday connects the Halloween period to one of Disneyland Park’s named attractions, while Halloween Screams uses the park’s evening entertainment programme. In California Adventure, the overlays place the seasonal theme inside attractions such as Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween and Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree.

Disneyland is the original Disney theme park. It opened in Anaheim on 17 July 1955, while the resort now also includes Disney California Adventure Park, hotels and the Downtown Disney District. The relationship between the current programme and that history is visible in the way seasonal decorations and entertainment are distributed across established park areas rather than confined to one temporary hall.

Plaza de la Familia extends the autumn programme into November

A related event continues after Halloween Time ends. Plaza de la Familia runs at Disney California Adventure Park from 21 August through 2 November 2026, inspired by Pixar’s Coco and Día de los Muertos traditions. Its programme includes the street show The Storytellers of the Plaza de la Familia Celebrate the Musical World of Coco!, mariachi music at the Paradise Garden Bandstand and a memory wall.

The separate Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party takes place on selected nights from 18 August through 31 October at Disney California Adventure. It is a separately ticketed after-hours event, so it should not be confused with the wider Halloween Time programme.
