Halloween Time and Plaza de la Familia Return to Disneyland Resort

Fall has officially arrived at Disneyland Resort, with Halloween Time and Plaza de la Familia beginning August 21 and bringing seasonal entertainment, attraction overlays, new food and beverages, merchandise and festive décor across the resort.

Halloween Time runs through October 31, 2026, with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their friends debuting all-new Halloween costumes featuring harlequin-inspired designs and colorful confectionery details.

• More Halloween throughout the resort: Pixar Place Hotel is getting new Monsters, Inc.-inspired holiday décor, while Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa will feature returning confectionery displays. Downtown Disney will also offer seasonal food, shopping, entertainment and movie nights.

Plaza de la Familia Celebrates Día de los Muertos
