Ready to dive into Disney’s most spirited season? Disneyland Halloween 2025 is right around the corner—and trust me, you’ll want to experience every ghoulish detail. Check out this Ultimate Guide to Disneyland Halloween 2025: Events, Treats & Thrills, and this is your sneak peek. Whether you’re a diehard Halloween fan, a foodie on the hunt for limited-edition treats, or just in it for the fireworks, this guide will help you make the most of your visit between August 22 and October 31.
The Journey Begins
Where to start but at the start, aka Main Street, U.S.A., where the famous Mickey pumpkin greets you with a toothy grin. You’re surrounded by cheerful (and sometimes eerie) décor—hundreds of hand-carved pumpkins, orange bunting, and costumed Disney characters, all decked out in their Halloween best. Don’t miss the Haunted Mansion Holiday, where Jack Skellington and his “Nightmare Before Christmas” crew have taken over, complete with a brand-new, jaw-dropping gingerbread house in the ballroom for 2025.
When the sun goes down, grab a spot for “Halloween Screams,” the nighttime spectacular featuring Jack Skellington’s projections, fireworks (on select nights), and a haunting soundtrack. It’s a must-see and pulls in crowds, so get there early for the best view!
Hop over to Disney California Adventure Park for even more thrills. Cars Land morphs into “Radiator Screams,” loaded with playful Halloween decor and ride overlays like Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree. If you’re into bigger thrills, the Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark overlay turns the regular ride into a monster-saving mission with extra frights.
This year, the Oogie Boogie Bash is the after-hours event everyone’s talking about. On select nights, the park goes all-in with treat trails, rare character appearances (think villains!), the lively Frightfully Fun Parade, and the dazzling Villains Grove walkthrough. The best part? Shorter ride lines and the freedom for everyone, young and old, to show off their very best costume (just check the guidelines first).
Hungry? Don’t Fret!
Feeling snacky? You’re in for a treat—literally. Halloween at Disneyland turns every corner into a foodie’s playground: think pumpkin-spiced churros, gooey caramel apples, crazy-loaded fries, spooky drinks, and a whole lineup of new eats you’ll want to try just for the ‘gram. Whether you crave sugar or a savory snack, there’s something delicious waiting to haunt your taste buds. Food can always make any haunting experience worthwhile!
And hey, what’s a trip without some cool souvenirs? Everywhere you look, you’ll spot Halloween spirit jerseys you’ll want to wear year-round, popcorn buckets that actually glow, and villain-inspired headbands that make every selfie a little more wicked. They’re quirky, limited, and the perfect way to bring a piece of the magic home.
Final Thoughts
Disneyland is a place of magic. Halloween is a holiday that takes the magic to spooky and mischievous. Add the two together and a land of thrills, secrets, and yummy treats. Grab your costume, scary or nice, be ready to feast, and get ready to make memories under those glowing autumn lights. Can’t wait to see you there for the spookiest, happiest haunting of 2025! And don’t forget, you can always plan ahead for next year’s Disney Halloween if this year doesn’t work out!
