Disney Halloween Festival at Disneyland Paris
Made up of four floats, Mickey’s Halloween Celebration will stand out as one of the season’s highlights at Disneyland Park. Daisy Duck will open the procession, followed by numerous Disney Characters, including rarer appearances such as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. Surrounded by pumpkins, lanterns, and hay bales, the floats will move to a festive soundtrack. The finale will feature Mickey aboard Mickey’s Manor of Illusions, where magical illusions and lightning-fast costume changes will bring the cavalcade to a spectacular close.
The season will culminate on October 31, with a special program running until 11:00 p.m. Featuring exclusive Character Encounters, a one-of-a-kind fireworks show, treat distribution courtesy of M&M’S, the Official Partner of the Halloween season, it will be the only opportunity of the year for guests of all ages to visit Disneyland Paris in costume.
Upon arrival, guests will discover at Main Street, U.S.A. station four new Art Deco stained-glass windows featuring Maleficent and Ursula, surrounded by burnt-out candles, banners, and wide-grinning Mickey pumpkins.
Early in the day, families and friends can take photos in front of the Art Deco stained-glass windows of the Main Street, U.S.A. station and may even greet Mickey and Minnie.
In Town Square, the gardens will be adorned with pumpkins carved in the likeness of Mickey and Minnie, enhanced with gilded details inspired by Victorian aesthetics, alongside candles shaped like Donald Duck and Goofy. These decorations include around 40 new pumpkins and 170 new candles in the likeness of Mickey and Friends, plus Victorian-style garlands.
All along Main Street, U.S.A., new banners will reveal silhouettes of the Disney Villains in shadow-puppet style. This stroll will end at Royal Castle Stage, where all-new decor of castle gates overrun with thorns, ravens, and emblems inspired by the Disney Villains will envelop guests in a mysterious atmosphere. Disney Villains will meet at these ruins.
The whole experience will be enhanced by an all-new original musical score, while nighttime projections will transform Main Street, U.S.A. into an even more mysterious atmosphere.
In Frontierland, the surroundings of Casa de Coco – Restaurante de Familia will celebrate “Día de los Muertos” with Mexican-inspired decorations. An immersive experience that will extend to the Disney Hotels, where visitors will discover joyful autumn atmospheres, each inspired by Disney, Pixar, and Marvel stories.
At the entrance to Disneyland Park, guests will be greeted by their hosts, Mickey as a mystical count and Minnie Mouse as a little witch, before meeting Donald Duck as an adorable vampire and Daisy as a charming bat lady. Dressed in their new Victorian-inspired outfits, all four will wear a matching brooch, a bat adorned with a diamond whose color varies for each character.
Mickey and Friends will meet guests alongside iconic Disney Villains such as Cruella, Maleficent, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts, and Dr. Facilier, returning after five years. Jack Skellington and Sally, from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, will also make their return.
At the Casey Corner Gazebo in Main Street, U.S.A., Stitch will meet guests in his vampire outfit.
The spirit of Halloween will also make its way onto plates and into shops across the destination. Food lovers can indulge in new creations inspired by Mischief Makers and Disney Villains, such as the Devilish Brookie at Market House Deli or the Ursula’s Curse Cake at Victoria’s Home-Style Restaurant. An exclusive collection in the colors of the season will also offer a range of souvenirs, including the Pumpkin Mickey shoulder plush and Villains Spirit Jersey.
In Frontierland, The Lucky Nugget Saloon will once again transform into The Unlucky Nugget Saloon, inspired by the world of Phantom Manor. The venue invites food lovers to revisit the site of Melanie Ravenswood’s wedding reception, which was never celebrated. On the ground floor, the setting blends decoration, music, lighting effects, and special effects for an experience as intriguing as it is delicious.
New this year, the experience will also extend upstairs, entirely reimagined with new decor elements and artwork inspired by the attraction’s iconic portraits. The whole experience is rounded out with a reimagined menu, offering an atmosphere more enigmatic and immersive than ever.
Far from the bustle of the park, a hidden corner of Frontierland offers the perfect setting for a selfie amidst an atmosphere steeped in mystery.
