Disney's Halloween Festivals
Every fall, both Walt Disney World and Disneyland host special seasonal festivals that add a touch of magic to the Halloween spirit.
At Walt Disney World, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party takes over Magic Kingdom, while EPCOT hosts the International Food & Wine Festival with a nod to the season. Meanwhile, Disneyland Resort transforms into a hotbed of Halloween cheer with Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure Park and hauntingly delightful decorations throughout the resort.
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
This after-hours, ticketed event at Magic Kingdom is a mischievous mix of pumpkin spice and Mickey magic, featuring exclusive shows, parades, character meet-and-greets, and trick-or-treating stations.
Boo to You Parade, starring the Headless Horseman, and the stage show Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular headline the event, while iconic attractions like Space Mountain and Splash Mountain receive chilling makeovers. Consider donning your best family costume, as this event is perfect for a night of ghostly family fun.
Oogie Boogie Bash
At Disney California Adventure Park, Oogie Boogie Bash is a separate-ticket affair that's filled with tricks and treats. The event celebrates the twisted world of Tim Burton and replaces Disney California Adventure's regular nighttime show, World of Color, with the spellbinding "Villainous!"
Immerse yourself in the frightfully delightful "Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark" attraction, which transforms Mission: BREAKOUT! into a spooky spectacle as you escape from the Collector's Fortress during an extraterrestrial Halloween party.
Character Encounters & Meet-and-Greets
Halloween offers an excellent opportunity to encounter your favorite Disney characters in their spooktacular best. Throughout the resorts, you'll find beloved icons, villains, and icons donning their finest Halloween attire.
At Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and Oogie Boogie Bash, you can expect to see characters from films like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Hocus Pocus," and the Disney Villain crew, along with plenty of classic characters sporting their Halloween outfits. Don't forget to snap a few photos with your newfound friends!
Don't Miss: Jack Skellington & Sally
