Disney Halloween Festival 👻🎃
It’s time to trick or treat! October arrives and with it, the spookiest season of the year in Disneyland Paris. With a bewitching atmosphere surrounded by cute ghosts and pumpkins all around Main Street, it will be a terrifyingly-fun celebration.
The villainous masters will be taking over the park, so it is the golden opportunity to encounter your favourite Disney villains like Cruella, Jafar, Gaston, Captain Hook, Queen of Hearts, the Evil Queen, and many others. Do you dare to meet them? If so, beware, if they offer you an apple, do not eat it!
It’s Halloween and harvest time all rolled into one, so of course, the classic autumn parade comes back with its colourful floats like every Halloween celebrating the harvest season. It is your chance to see Mickey and his friends all dressed up in boo-tiful themed outfits.
At the end of the day right before the nighttime show, there will be a brand-new Halloween drone sequence during the spectacle Disney Electrical Sky Parade.
To keep the vibes of the celebration, do not forget to visit the Phantom Manor and Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs attractions in Disneyland Park, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Walt Disney Studios, which are the thrill rides of the season.
Disney Halloween festival is from October1st until November 3rd, 2024.
