Wicked Fun at Disneyland Resort for Mickeys Halloween Party
Wicked Fun awaits you this Halloween at The Disneyland Resort During Mickey's Halloween Party
Enjoy limited time frights, fun and food when Halloween Time returns to the Disneyland resort select nights September 19 through October 31, 2018. Your ticket to Mickey's Halloween party lets you enjoy both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park for up to 3 hours before Mickey’s Halloween Party begins. Once the party starts, you’ll be treated to 5 hours of shenanigans including special Halloween-themed attractions, Character Greetings, fireworks, the Headless Horseman Rides Again (pre-parade) and much more. Here's the breakdown as to what is happening within each park this year.
Early Trick or Treating in Toon Town during Mickey's Halloween Party
My girl got the perfect dress for the party via Chasing Fireflies : Skeleton Princess.
As darkness sets on the Disneyland Resort the entire mood of the party starts to change and new surprises begin to emerge for you to experience. One of last year's highlights for me was seeing the Cadaver Dans in the misty waters singing A Cappella, this is exclusive to the Halloween Party nights and I highly recommend looking out for them. Be sure to look for the Pumpkin Tree and the talking scare crow in Frontierland, he's hilarious!
Rivers of America always get into the mood during Halloween Time!
Throughout Disneyland they go all out with decorations, special lighting and fun photo opps. It is by far my favorite time of the year at the resort. If you are not a annual pass holder and can only visit one time during the year, this would be the time I would recommend with Christmas coming in a very close second. The bonus with Halloween Time is the ride overlays, special parade, the most amazing fireworks show and the major amount of trick or treating trails only Disneyland can pull off!
Meet and Greet with Jack and Sally. Tip: Check the app for times and line up early! Using the DAS? You can get a return time, just ask!

Disney California Adventure
Last year introduced the mix in of Disney California Adventure into the party. This side of the park doesn't have trick or treating but does offer ride over lays, spooky decorations and has several character meet and greets. Cars Land does get an entire themed transformation and creates some clever decorations with the use of car parts. It all looks great in the day but nighttime really is when you need to see it all!

My tip on getting the Most BOO out of your visit
Head to DCA first and enjoy the decorations, photo opps and food!
Switch over to Disneyland so you won't miss the parade (2nd showing less crowded) fireworks and everything else!
Bring your own Trick Or Treat bag, they give out tons of treats!
Be sure to follow the costume guidelines so you won't have to modify your costume.
During the first parade, take advantage of shorter ride lines.
If you are an AP check for special exclusive photo opps.
Don't rush to line up for trick or treating, lines are long early on.
Trick Or Treat lines split into 2 and have several within one treat stop.
Looking for less crowds, pick a date in September and on a weekday except Friday. Those will also be the least expensive dates to attend.
Costumes are welcomed for both children and adults BUT there are some guidelines you will need to follow get more info HERE
Sleeping Beauty's Castle gets a Halloween makeover during the party and is the backdrop during the Fireworks.
We have been attending this event for several years now and I always recommend it. Since it's a private event it is less crowded, offers exclusive entertainment and is a great excuse for the entire family to get into the Halloween spirit and dress up! Tickets will go on sale June 5th to annual pass holders and June 12 to the general public.
Enter to win these Sally Ears along with a $15 Gift Card, both would be perfect to use at the parks during Halloween Time!
