The Halloween season is back at The Disneyland Resort. The spooky season takes over Disneyland and Disney California Adventure starting September 3 – October 31, 2021. Disney brings back Halloween-themed attractions and sightings of everyone’s favorite characters and villains to the spooky decor and treats. Downtown Disney District is also joining in on the Halloween fun with decor, treats, and an all-new Halloween-themed pumpkin hunt, Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit.

As you walk down Main Street USA, Winky Blinky, also known as the Mickey Mouse jack-o-lantern, will greet you. Along with his adorable pumpkins of the Main Street Pumpkin Festival. Over in New Orleans Square, the Haunted Mansion will be taken over by none other than the Pumpkin King Jack Skelington for the return of Haunted Mansion Holiday. Every night from September 3 – October 31, guests will dread the return of “Halloween Screams,” the supernatural projection and special effects show. On weekends, the scream will take to the skies with fireworks.

Radiator Springs will become Radiator Screams as residents decorate their homes for the unique Haul-O-Ween makeover and transform attractions.

On Buena Vista Street, Mickey and his friends will be taking it back with old-fashion Halloween costumes. The seasonal decor will add to the ambiance of Buena Vista Street.
