Shanghai Disney Resort announced details of their autumn offerings, including Duffy Month in September and Halloween in October.

Duffy Month 2026

The resort’s 10th Birthday Special Duffy Month will be from September 1 to 30, 2026, and include a week-long celebration for LinaBell’s fifth anniversary from September 23 to 29.

Stepping into the park, guests can find familiar Chinese animation elements reimagined with Duffy and Friends as part of a new collaboration with the renowned Shanghai Animation Film Studio. While extending into immersive entertainment, keepsakes, and dining experiences throughout the resort, the collaboration will also introduce a promotional animation short, where Duffy and Friends embark on a heartwarming adventure based on the stories known and loved by generations of Chinese families.

Throughout Duffy Month, the resort will be transformed with new decorations inspired by the original short video: elements such as peaches, gourds, and goldfish will adorn the social wall and photo locations, while Duffy and Friends’ signature soft hues flow across banners and ribbons.

Duffy and Friends will change into new outfits with auspicious motifs from the collaboration’s artwork. Duffy’s outfit is adorned with peach blossoms, while Gelatoni’s features lotus flower and goldfish motifs. ‘Olu Mel’s outfit is accented with gourds, ShellieMay with swallows and peach blossoms, and StellaLou with moon embroidery and lake-wave patterns. CookieAnn’s will include peach blossoms, while LinaBell’s features peach-inspired embroidery and butterfly-wing details.

All-new immersive experiences take place on Duffy Month Pajama Party Nights. From September 19 to 20 and September 26 to 29, guests can join Duffy and Friends for an evening of adventures, beginning with the Duffy and Friends’ Pajama Party at the Pepsi E-Stage, where the friends, dressed for bedtime in their brand-new pajama outfits, will share stories from their adventures while a playful pillow fight begins.

The fun continues with a Duffy-themed castle projection show, Duffy and Friends’ Special Celebration. Opening with a signature Duffy Month track, “Let’s Get Together,” the show will bring the characters’ portraits to life through magical projections before taking guests through the changing seasons.

A brand-new show, A Voyage with Duffy and Friends, will be coming to the Enchanted Storybook Castle stage. The show will debut an original Duffy Month theme song and a whole-new adventure. A Voyage with Duffy and Friends will bring guests along on a journey, following the seven friends as they use their special talents to return a mysterious crystal home across the water.

While introducing an all-new adventure, the show will also bring back the Shanghai Huju Opera rendition. Starting September 5 and continuing every Saturday and Sunday throughout the month, guests can enjoy the performance crafted in collaboration with Shanghai Huju Opera Theatre for the third consecutive year. The collaboration celebrates the city’s unique cultural spirit through a newly arranged Huju Opera melody. Performed by young Huju actors, the “Shanghai Ballad” shares generations of Shanghai stories and offers guests an opportunity to experience the enduring cultural charm of Shanghai this Duffy Month.

Throughout Duffy Month, guests can savor a selection of peach-themed desserts, seasonal beverages served in elegantly designed cups, a take-home set of CookieAnn’s Made-With-Love Pastry, along with other Duffy-inspired dining experiences. At Duffy and Friends Celebration Hall, an updated menu will bring playful delights such as ‘Olu Mel’s Island Melody Coconut Shrimp Rice and StellaLou’s Seafood Ribbon Noodles. Meanwhile, CookieAnn Bakery Café will serve up tantalizing new takes on guest-favorite treats—such as Passionfruit and Pineapple New York Rolls and White Chocolate Cream Cake—as well as all-new creations like Mango Pomelo and Sago Croffle.

Guests can bring home a piece of the celebration with two brand-new collections. The Duffy and Friends Little Voyage Collection will include accessories, plushes, and keychains featuring Chinese-style motifs, alongside festive mooncakes and lifestyle items, including a teacup crafted in collaboration with artisans from Jingdezhen, China’s “porcelain capital.” Meanwhile, the Duffy and Friends Pajama Party Collection has all the cozy apparel and headwear needed to complete a lounge-worthy pajama party look.

At Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, guests will discover a delightful array of recreational activities themed to the world of Duffy and Friends, including bedtime storytelling, hands-on DIY workshops, interaction games at the lobby, and enchanting hotel tours filled with surprises.

During LinaBell’s birthday week, guests can wish LinaBell a happy anniversary as she makes special appearances at the entry portal with her friends and join in the fun during the pre-parade as she commemorates the big milestone.

Halloween at Shanghai Disneyland

The Halloween celebration returns from October 4 to November 1, 2026, with extra “Magic+” for the resort’s 10th birthday. It coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival and Golden Week national holidays.

Beginning with an extra daytime edition of Donald’s Halloween Treat Cavalcade, a bubbling cauldron of Halloween entertainment awaits all who venture into the resort. Disney Villains take the spotlight and guests dressed in their most creative Halloween looks may be selected to follow Donald Duck and Daisy Duck’s lead through the cavalcade. Guests can also look forward to more wicked entertainment as Disney Villains cast their spells through a series of immersive experiences, bringing guests face to face with their favorite fiendish characters across the park.

Making his debut this autumn is Peg-Leg Pete, who will join the Halloween lineup as an evil king ready to add more mischief to the season. Guests are invited to flaunt their Halloween transformations with Mickey and Friends who are taking on a steampunk-style look, while Duffy and Friends reimagine themselves as a whimsical bard troupe.

The Halloween spirit continues in the Zootopia land, where guests are invited to join the annual Howl-o-ween celebration alongside Judy, Nick, and all Zootopia residents. From 10-minute Mark Howling sessions every day to Blue Howling Drinks, the entire land will come alive with Halloween excitement.

Shanghai Disney Resort’s Spook-tacular Days will expand to ten days of frightful fun so guests can make even more magical memories. From October 16 to 18, October 23 to 25, and October 29 to November 1, guests can dance through five festive Party Zones, discover surprise encounters in the Alice in Wonderland Maze, join Donald’s Halloween Treat Party at Festival Forest, collect treats across the resort, and gather in front of the Enchanted Storybook Castle for the highly anticipated Disney Villains Castle Celebration, where the season’s most wicked festivities come to life.

Throughout Halloween, guests can savor seasonal flavors with a lineup of treats and dining experiences across the resort, including dark delights, Halloween-themed set menus and festive buffets. Beyond the table, guests will find four all-new Halloween merchandise collections inspired by Mickey and Friends, Duffy and Friends, Winnie the Pooh and Friends, and Zootopia. Items include glow-in-the-dark apparel, pumpkin-inspired items, cozy autumn wear, and collectible plush.
