Halloween Fun in Disneyland
Walt Disney World isn’t the only Disney resort to host some frightful fun for Halloween! Over in Disneyland, there’s plenty of ghoulish goodies and spooky specialties to check out from parties and attraction overlays to character dining and scavenger hunts.
Oogie Boogie Bash
This after hours party in Disney California Adventure takes place on select nights in September and October. Tickets are sold out for this year, but if you already purchased them, you can look forward to treat trails, the Frightfully Fun parade with Mickey and friends as well as Disney villains, Mickey’s Trick and Treat live show, and character experiences.
Halloween Attraction Overlays
Even if you don’t attend Oogie Boogie Bash, you can still find Halloween decorations in the parks, including the attractions. The most well known is Haunted Mansion Holiday that transforms the classic Haunted Mansion with theming from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.
On select nights, you can also catch the Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular in place of Wondrous Journeys in Disneyland Park. It features Jack Skellington, Zero, and Disney villains with a soundtrack of Halloween songs. Some nights also include fireworks. If you want to reserve a viewing area for Halloween Screams, you can do the Plaza Inn Halloween Screams Dining Package or the Tomorrowland Skyline Terrace Dining Package.
In Disney California Adventure, you’ll find more ride overlays. Join Rocket for a Halloween adventure in Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark, or head over to Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween. Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree also becomes Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, complete with Halloween music.

Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit
Over in Downtown Disney, there’s a scavenger hunt that’s fun for the whole family! Pick up a map and stickers for $9.99 at select merchandise locations.
