The Disney Halloween Festival returns to Disneyland Paris from September 26 to November 1, 2026. Over several weeks, the parks will don Halloween colors and host activities, shows and a lineup of Disney characters, including the famous Villains. The event offers a seasonal, family- and friend-friendly atmosphere, featuring meet-and-greets, attractions and a slate of Halloween-specific experiences.
For over a month, visitors and lovers of the big-eared mouse will be able to meet pumpkins, ghosts and other villains on Main Street, as well as challenge two themed attractions, enjoy various shows, and many other surprises...
Encounters, themed décor, mind-boggling attractions... It's the best time of the year for a good scare with family and friends. And a great opportunity to visit Disneyland Paris this year!
From 26 septembre au 1er novembre 2026, Mickey and his friends dust off their Halloween costumes at the Parc Disneyland. Dingo, Donald and several Disney characters take part in the festivities, with mischievous encounters and appearances roaming the park’s avenues. Donald is notably set to don a brand-new costume specially designed for this season.
The Mickey Halloween Celebration returns during the Disney Halloween Festival 2026. This parade brings together several Disney characters aboard floats decorated in autumn hues, to the rhythm of an upbeat soundtrack along the parade route.
If you're a fan of iconic antagonists like Maleficent, Captain Hook, the Queen of Hearts and Jafar, then you've come to the right place. Not only will you be able to meet them at Disneyland Park for chilling photo ops, but when night falls, they'll also be storming Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The Disney Villains are also on the lineup for the 2026 Halloween Festival. And this year, Dr. Facilier returns to Frontierland to greet visitors in a set inspired by his supernatural world. It’s your chance to pose with the antagonist from The Princess and the Frog, as long as you don’t seal the deal too quickly.
Smiling pumpkins, friendly ghosts, candles and seasonal decorations are stepping into Disneyland Park. Halloween decor is notably showcased along Main Street, U.S.A., where the atmosphere is set to shift after nightfall.
These installations accompany the festivities throughout the festival, giving the park’s various areas their autumnal colors.
Some attractions at Disneyland Paris naturally fit into a day dedicated to Halloween. In Frontierland, Phantom Manor whisks visitors into an abandoned mansion, home to ghosts and haunted by the enigmatic tale of Mélanie Ravenswood.
Over at Disney Adventure World, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror continues to deliver the scares through the corridors of an old Hollywood hotel. Unruly elevators, abrupt drops, and unexplained phenomena await visitors. The two attractions stay open year-round, but their atmosphere is particularly well suited to Halloween season.
Mr. Jack, the King of Pumpkins, returns to Disneyland Park with Sally. The two characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas, the film imagined by Tim Burton, step out from Halloween Town to meet guests and pose for photos.
This attraction runs on a virtual queue and requires a reservation. The exact details can be found in the official Disneyland Paris app at the time of your visit.
A treasure hunt also awaits visitors as they explore the different Lands of Disneyland Park. After picking up a map from a Cast Member, participants must track down doors tied to various mystical beings and collect the clues they’ve left along the way.
Once the quest is finished, guests can swing by the Boardwalk Candy Palace to snag Halloween treats. The activity is available subject to the on-site terms and conditions.
The season continues in the restaurants and shops of Disneyland Paris. Halloween-themed recipes, desserts and merchandise are set to accompany the festival. However, the full details of the menus and available collections have not yet been announced.
Costumes, accessories, treats and seasonal keepsakes are set to round out the lineup week by week, depending on stock at the various retailers.
For Halloween, the Lucky Nugget Saloon temporarily renames itself to The Unlucky Nugget Saloon. In the backstory crafted for the occasion, a wedding reception that never took place left the restaurant slowly slipping into decay.
Gothic decorations and a reimagined menu accompany this pop-up dining experience in Frontierland. The concept borrows some motifs from the Phantom Manor universe, while forging its own story.
Disneyland Paris: Unlucky Nugget Saloon, the haunted food experience for Halloween at Frontierland

The full lineup has yet to be unveiled
Disneyland Paris is giving a first look at the Disney Halloween Festival 2026. More meet-and-greets, activities, or practical details could be announced before the season kicks off.
The potential extension of hours on October 31, the policy permitting adults to attend in costume, and the planned Halloween-night show have not yet been confirmed in the official communications available.
Our visit to the 2023 Halloween season at Disneyland Paris:
In 2023, we were able to experience this season ahead of the All Saints' Day holidays. In terms of decorations, Disneyland Paris has successfully managed to reinvent itself without upsetting the habits of fans of this season, offering ghosts and skeletons that are as colorful and cheerful as ever on Main Street and in Frontierland, changing two or three things from previous seasons to create an atmosphere that is as joyful and gently scary as ever, suitable for families.
As for the attractions, Phantom Manor and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror are as much fun as ever, with the added bonus of a Halloween atmosphere. It's fun, you get a few scares in the Tower of Terror, and you have a great time with family or friends.
As for the parade, it's the old ones that make the best jam, with floats that regulars know well, still as colorful and festive as ever, accompanied by iconic characters that will delight fans. We would have liked to see a float or two more to make the fun last longer, but the parade, although short, allows us to enjoy a maximum number of attractions afterwards, and that's all that matters!
In short, a great outing to enjoy with friends or with the kids during the All Saints' Day holidays!
And plenty of other surprises too... Festivities that should delight young and old alike. Should we put it in our diaries, folks?
