School may be back in session, but Disneyland’s seasonal calendar is only getting busier.

Halloween has arrived at Disneyland, and the holidays won’t be far behind. But with temperatures pushing into the 90s, the season feels more muggy than menacing. Still, Main Street, Buena Vista Street, and Route 66 in Cars Land are all decked out, the menus have gone full pumpkin, and ready or not, Halloween Time is […]

Are you ready? Halloween is a BIG deal in Disneyland, like even bigger than in Disney World, and when it arrives, all the spookiness hits Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, and Downtown Disney in a HUGE way. And don’t even get us started on Oogie Boogie Bash, one of the BEST Disney Halloween parties.

It’s called Halloween Time, and Disneyland goes all out with decor, characters in Halloween outfits, special food and snacks, and so much more. Well, Halloween Time has officially kicked off in Disneyland, and we’re there getting spooky with it.

Halloween Time runs from August 21st through October 31st, and the first sign you’ll see of it is at the park entrances. The Disneyland entrance gets some fun character pumpkins on top of its gates.

Once you make your way into Disneyland, you’ll see a giant Mickey pumpkin that folks are probably standing in line for to get a photo with — it’s pretty epic.

Be sure to take some time to visit with characters — they’ve all dressed up just for the occasion! Check out Minnie’s sweet Halloween outfit!

Goofy is sporting his best Halloween gear, too!

You’ll also see other Halloween decor throughout the park.

Over in Frontierland, in front of the Golden Horseshoe, you’ll see the Halloween Tree, which is a tribute to legendary sci-fi author Ray Bradbury, who also just happened to be friends with Walt Disney.

In New Orleans Square, Haunted Mansion has been given a Nightmare Before Christmas overlay, turning it into Haunted Mansion Holiday. This overlay will last throughout the Halloween and holiday seasons.

Inside, you’ll see an impressive gingerbread house in the ballroom scene, and this year’s gingerbread house is a brand NEW design.

Disney California Adventure’s entrance gets an Oogie Boogie theme, and listen up, because you’ll HEAR Oogie Boogie speaking from time to time.

Meanwhile, Carthay Circle Restaurant has been infested by a cloud of “bats” overhead.

Be sure to stop and get a photo with the Headless Horseman statue on Buena Vista Street, too.

Cars Land becomes Radiator Screams (instead of Radiator Springs…get it?).

The land gets a ton of spooky decor, including some of your favorite Cars characters dressed in costumes. You’ll also be able to get a ride on Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

In the late afternoon each day, Guardians of the Galaxy closes briefly and then reopens as Guardians of the Galaxy — Monsters After Dark. Yep, the ride gets an all-new scary story and scenes.

Plaza de la Familia has also returned to California Adventure. This is a celebration of Día de los Muertos, and includes special entertainment, arts and crafts, special decor, and a memory wall where you can add your own memories.

Did we mention the food? There are HUNDREDS of Halloween menu snacks and drinks to bite into during Halloween Time. You can see the full list of Halloween and fall snacks in Disneyland here. Yes, there are A LOT.

Of course, we had to try one of these special treats, the Rest in Chocolate, which is available at Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour for $12.79. It comes with Chocolate Cookie Crumbles, Gummy Worms, and a Chocolate Tombstone. First, you get a lot of snack for your money! It’s two HUGE scoops of ice cream (you choose the flavor), so it’s easily shareable. And let’s just say…it not only looks SWEET, but it tastes pretty nice, too. It’s got a very cookies and cream-inspired flavor that just about anyone is going to love.

Also, don’t miss out on Halloween shopping in both parks and Downtown Disney. You might just find that perfect spook-tacular souvenir. That includes clothing and a Halloween Mickey bubble wand…

…new Coco apparel…

…ears, bags, accessories…

…a SWEET Haunted Mansion Holiday varsity jacket…

…a Hatbox Ghost sling bag, and more!

Other places you can find Halloween in Disneyland include the Disneyland Hotel, which will have a Haunted Mansion decor theme this year, while Pixar Place Hotel is going with a Monsters, Inc. theme for the occasion. Meanwhile, at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, the culinary team has created a MONSTROUS creation to be admired in the hotel’s lobby. Be sure to visit the snack cart there, too, for some faBOOlous treats.

Don’t forget that character dining at the hotels is also getting fall and Halloween experiences. Storytellers Cafe hosts Mickey’s Autumn Adventures for breakfast and brunch, while Clarabelle’s Enchanted Halloween Dinner takes over for dinner. Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates Halloween will be available at Disneyland Hotel.

If you want a Halloween glow-up, visit the Disney stylists at Tenaya Stone Spa at the Grand Californian for a special Halloween look with hair, makeup, or nails. You can even indulge in the Wicked to the Core foot treatment.

Over in Downtown Disney, you can watch some of your favorite Disney Halloween movies (like Hocus Pocus) at The Downtown Disney LIVE! stage and lawn on select nights.

Also, be sure to play Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit, a scavenger hunt where you’re tasked to find character pumpkins hidden throughout Downtown Disney. All you have to do is buy a map at select stores, find the pumpkins, and turn them in for a cool prize. This year’s prize is your choice of these cute little character bags!

Like we said, Disneyland does NOT come to play when it comes to Halloween, and if you get a chance to visit for the spooky season, you should check it out.

We’ll continue to cover even more Disney news, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

This Is NOT A Drill! We Know All The Halloween Treats Coming To Disneyland

It’s Halloween, Lo-ween, everybody (if you know, you know). Halloween Time has arrived in Disneyland, and you know what that means: it’s also Oogie Boogie Bash time!

Oogie Boogie Bash is a special ticketed event in Disney California Adventure held on select nights from August 18th through October 31st. It’s like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party…but a little spookier, as one might expect from a party hosted by Oogie Boogie. The party features exclusive entertainment, food and drinks, character meet and greets, and more. You can also trick-or-treat at treat trails throughout the park, and we’re going to give you the full rundown of every treat trail available this year.

Treat trails are set up throughout California Adventure. These are trails that you walk through to go trick-or-treating in the park, and yes, even adults can trick-or-treat during party hours. You’ll get LOADS of candy, including some full-sized treats, and you can even visit treat trails more than once if you want to REALLY stock up on candy.

But what makes Oogie Boogie Bash’s treat trails so special is that some of them have exclusive characters, including some of your favorite villains, like Agatha Harkness, Sid from Toy Story, Oogie Boogie, Yokai from Big Hero 6, and more. So let’s take a look at those treat trails first. The newest character to have a treat trail this year is Yzma — you’ll find her treat trail in Grizzly Peak.

Can’t have an Oogie Boogie Bash without Oogie Boogie, and you’ll find his treat trail at the Disney Animation building in Hollywood Land.

Dr. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb is back again this year with a treat trail at the Disney Junior Theater in Hollywood Land.

Ernesto de la Cruz is serenading trick-or-treaters at the treat trail located just outside Avengers Campus in Hollywood Land.

Syndrome is still plotting against The Incredibles at the treat trail in Pixar Pier near Pixar Pal-Around.

You’ll find Agatha Harkness casting some dark spells over in Avengers Campus at the Sanctum.

The Mistress of Evil herself, Maleficent, is guarding a treat trail in Grizzly Peak.

Hades is lurking at a Treat Trail near Monsters, Inc.: Mike & Sulley to the Rescue.

Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit can be found near Hollywood Lounge in Hollywood Land.

Of course, other treat trails are just ALL about the candy, and you can check those out, too. Be sure to look in your guidebook or on the Disneyland app to find them all!

We’ve discovered that you can really get a LOT of candy in Disneyland if you visit the treat trails (the Cast Members are VERY generous and throw handfuls into your bag). That’s why we recommend not using the free treat bag they give you at the beginning of the party. Instead, bring a larger one from home…trust us, you’ll need it.

We’re covering EVERYTHING about Halloween in Disneyland, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

We can’t believe we’re saying this, but Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort is just around the corner, and in a way it’s already here.

There are a lot of different Halloween tops to grab this year.

This Disneyland Halloween Spirit Jersey was by far one of our favorite pieces of merchandise that you can grab. The back features the Disneyland logo, and a ton of spooky elements.

A close second for favorite piece was probably this Mickey Mouse Halloween Disneyland hoodie. The back features the beloved character in costume, holding a pumpkin.

This Halloween Disneyland hat would be a great addition to any outfit you put together this fall.

These Halloween Minnie Ears were added to the wishlist as soon as we saw them. With sleek black style, covered in gold bats, and a bigger bat placed behind the black bow, this ones hard to overlook.

There were some other items that stood out to us, like this Halloween bubble wand…

Speaking of adorable, what we were really excited to show you amongst the Halloween merchandise is the “Boo to You” collection. We instantly fell in love with this entire collection, and to say it’s the most adorable collection we’ve seen wouldn’t be crazy!

Starting with the tops, we seriously couldn’t choose which top we liked more! Our wallets are going to hurt after the haul we’re going to pull off. Some of the pieces included this Disnyeland sweater…

…this ghost featuring a Mickey Mouse ghost…

…this “Hey Boo” shirt, which would great for matching couple shirts by the way…

…and this Boo to You mug. Again, it makes for a great piece for couples with the “Hey Boo” phrase, and Mickey and Minnie ghosts on it.

If you’re a fan of Disney plushies, you’ll absolutely adore this Minnie Mouse ghost plush. She’s so soft and fuzzy, and look at her little treat in hand.

There’s also this Minnie Mouse ghost squishmallow, that is sure to give you lots of cuddles this spooky season!
