Can you believe we are already talking consistently about Halloween? While we might be just past the halfway mark of the year, that only means one thing for Disney fans: Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort is just around the corner, and it's shaping up to be more magical (and delightfully spooky!) than ever! Especially with the ongoing Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration adding an extra layer of fun, the fall is going to be even better!

So, grab your pumpkin spice latte and let's jump right into all of the enchanting and slightly spooky details for Halloween 2025 at Disneyland, running from August 22nd through October 31st!

Disneyland Park

Once you step into Disneyland Park, you'll immediately feel the crisp, festive air of autumn. We're talking about the signature orange lighting, charming music, vibrant leaves, and enough pumpkins to make even Cinderella jealous! Keep an eye out for Mickey, Minnie, and their pals rocking brand-new Halloween looks, a vibrant twist on their 70th Celebration outfits.

A fan favorite, Haunted Mansion Holiday, returns to combine the ghoulish fun of Halloween with the festive glow similar to Christmas. If you're a fan of "Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas," you absolutely must reunite with Santa Jack, Sally, and Zero inside this iconic eerie estate.

As night falls, prepare for “Halloween Screams,” a spectacular filled with haunting projections and special effects, featuring beloved Disney Villains like Hades and Ursula. Are they evil, or maybe just a bit misunderstood? On select nights, you might even catch the fireworks illuminating the night sky above Disneyland. And for those who love a good mystery, consider the Disney’s Happiest Haunts Guided Tour for chilling stories and thrilling experiences across the park, complete with Lightning Lane access and reserved viewing for “Halloween Screams.”

Lightning McQueen and his crew are also getting in on the fun with their creative "car-stumes!"
