Guess what time it is everyone! It’s nearly time to see gigantic, oversized, Mickey-shaped pumpkins on Main Street. It’s almost time to celebrate Dia De Los Muertos in Frontierland, and to dodge Delores the evil, galactic entity in Ghost Galaxy! It’s also just about time for Jack Skellington to move into the Mansion. Yes, it will soon be Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort. Less than two months from now (Starting September 11th and going all the way through to November 1st), Halloween Time will pop up in Disneyland. It’s the uber-popular family-friendly Halloween celebration which sells out on most nights.
Halloween Time brings a festive air to the parks, with special treats and surprises around every corner. Disneyland Park enjoys the lion’s share of the celebrations and it is evident from the second you enter the gates.
Below is a listing of things to look forward to this fall.

Included with Admission
There are plenty of ways to enjoy Halloween at Disneyland without paying anything more than your price of admission into the park. Here are some of our favorites.
Main Street Pumpkin Festival
Bunting of yellow, orange and red signals the Pumpkin Festival on Main Street. Goofy, grinning gourds glare from every corner with sly grins and silly faces where no two are alike. The smell of a Pumpkin Spice Latte will waft from the Starbucks Coffee House and the Candy Palace will be hard at work making treats for both young and old.
Haunted Mansion Holiday
Jack Skellington is set to move back in to the Haunted Mansion, celebrating Christmas as made by the residents of Halloween Town. It may not be so cheery and bright, but you are sure to get a wonderful fright.
Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas is the inspiration for this astounding transformation of one of Disneyland’s most beloved attractions. Now here for its 14 year, Haunted Mansion Holiday features jack-o-lanterns, wreaths, sinister toys and iconic characters from the popular film. Every year it also features a custom made, fully edible gingerbread house in the ballroom scene. Too bad you can’t get near enough to take a bite. Season’s Screamings, everyone!
Ghost Galaxy
Probably the scariest offering at the park during Halloween Time, Ghost Galaxy transforms exciting Space Mountain into a portal to terror. A malevolent entity has invaded the space station and your rocket ventures forth into the dark regions of space only to be pursued by the evil creature. Loud, dark, scary, this is a wild and exciting ride that is one of our absolute favorites. But be warned, it is a little scary. Horror Buzz columnist Kimmy Erin gives you her impression of the ride here. With regards to the little ones; If you aren’t too sure, grab a FastPass and try it yourself first. We love it and we are sure you will too.
Dia De Los Muertos
Another wonderful celebration is that of Dia De Los Muertos in Frontierland. Colorful, lively, and fun, this area honors the rich tradition of the Day of the Dead with decorations, face painting, and yummy treats.
Are you a Disneyland Halloween Time fan? Do you have your costume ready yet? Less than two months until Summer suddenly gives way to the not so spooky season.
