What's Included
The party runs from 6pm to 11pm. Your ticket also gets you into California Adventure from 3pm — three hours before the event officially starts. Unlimited Disney PhotoPass digital downloads from the party are included with admission.
What's New in 2026
The headline addition this year is "Madame Leota's Swinging Wake – A Haunted Mansion Street Party," a brand-new street experience coming to California Adventure. Madame Leota hosts a spirited séance and swinging wake through multiple show-stopping moments, with 999 happy haunts, ghostly dancing, and ghoulish character appearances.
An optional Oogie Boogie Bash Dessert Party gives you an enhanced viewing experience of the street party, with a new selection of treats themed to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Reservations will open on Disneyland.com later this summer.
Trick-or-Treating and Characters
Trick-or-treating runs along immersive themed treat trails throughout the park. You'll also encounter not-often-seen Disney villains and characters dressed up for Halloween across California Adventure.
Villains Grove transforms Redwood Creek Challenge Trail into a walkthrough experience inspired by Disney villains including the Queen of Hearts and Dr. Facilier. On select evenings, Ichabod Crane races through the park with the Headless Horseman in pursuit.
Oogie Boogie Bash as Part of Halloween Time
The party is part of the broader Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort, which runs August 21 through October 31, 2026 across both parks, all three resort hotels, and the Downtown Disney District.
Outside of the party, California Adventure's daytime Halloween offerings include:
- Radiator Screams in Cars Land with Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween
- Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark in Avengers Campus each afternoon
- "Mickey's Trick and Treat" at the Disney Theater in Hollywood Land, beginning August 18
- Seasonal decor on Buena Vista Street including the Headless Horseman statue and Oogie Boogie moon silhouette
Over at Disneyland park, Haunted Mansion Holiday returns with Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero, and Oogie Boogie — and a brand-new gingerbread house design in the ballroom. The Main Street Pumpkin Festival gets a new addition this year too, with a Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge tribute near the Partners Statue featuring Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon.
Each evening, "Halloween Screams" projects Maleficent, Ursula, and other villains across Sleeping Beauty Castle, Main Street, U.S.A., "it's a small world," and the Rivers of America. Fireworks are included on select nights.
For an add-on experience, Disney's Happiest Haunts Guided Tour explores eerie storytelling across both parks with valid theme park admission.
Plaza de la Familia
Running alongside Halloween Time from August 21 through November 2, Plaza de la Familia at California Adventure celebrates Día de los Muertos with nods to Pixar's Coco. Entertainment includes live storytellers performing songs from the film and mariachi at the Paradise Garden Bandstand. Paradise Garden Grill brings back the Chilaquiles Carnitas Torta for the season.
Hotels and Dining
All three resort hotels get seasonal decor this fall:
- Pixar Place Hotel — new Monsters, Inc.-inspired decorations
- Disneyland Hotel — Haunted Mansion-inspired touches and a seasonal confection display
- Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa — its own seasonal confection display
Character dining returns at both properties:
- Storytellers Cafe at the Grand Californian hosts Mickey's Autumn Adventures (breakfast and brunch) and Clarabelle's Enchanted Halloween Dinner (evenings)
- Goofy's Kitchen at Disneyland Hotel hosts Goofy's Kitchen Celebrates Halloween throughout the day
Adults 21+ can enjoy a Halloween cocktail menu at Broken Spell Lounge in Disneyland Hotel. Tenaya Stone Spa at the Grand Californian is offering Halloween-themed hair, makeup, and nail services, plus seasonal treatments including the Wicked to the Core foot treatment.
