Disney Halloween Festival

Halloween at Disneyland Paris: a programme that will make you lose your head!

Some see it as the spookiest time of the year at Disneyland Paris; others, disappointed by the lack of real novelty, find the season a little underwhelming. The 2026 Halloween Festival programme does look a lot like last year's. Here is what awaits you:

• The return of the Mickey's Halloween Celebration cavalcade and its four floats, including the famous "Mickey's Illusion Manor"
• Meet the Disney Villains and other characters in their Halloween outfits: Cruella, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts, Maleficent, Jack Skellington and Sally, and above all Dr. Facilier (new character for 2026)
• Admire the Disney Electrical Sky Parade in its Halloween version, high in the sky above Disneyland Park
• Discover the new, frightfully fun decorations on Main Street U.S.A., the art deco stained glass at the station and the new carved pumpkins on Town Square
• Get spooked by the Mysterious Hosts of Phantom Manor
• Join the M&M'S treasure hunt in Disneyland Park to collect Halloween treats
• Enjoy a one-of-a-kind meal at the "Unlucky Nugget Saloon", hosting the wedding reception dinner of Melanie Ravenswood, the bride of Phantom Manor

Halloween starts much earlier in the American parks (Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World), but this year it arrives 4 days earlier than last year at Disneyland Paris, on Saturday 26 September 2026, and runs until Sunday 1 November.

The ticketed Halloween party still hasn't made a comeback at DLP, but 31 October remains a day like no other, included in your dated ticket: a special programme until 11 pm, exclusive character meet-and-greets, a one-off fireworks display, M&M'S giveaways (official partner of the season) and, for the only time in the year, grown-ups and kids alike can come in costume. For the rest of the season, the Unlucky Nugget Saloon in Frontierland and the Día de los Muertos atmosphere at Casa de Coco after dark are included at no extra cost. It is also the ideal time to squeeze as many attractions as possible into a single day.

What's new at the 2026 Disney Halloween Festival

No revolution, but Disneyland Paris has polished the details this year. The most visible novelty is in Frontierland: the Lucky Nugget Saloon becomes the Unlucky Nugget Saloon once again, hosting the wedding reception of Melanie Ravenswood, the bride of Phantom Manor. In 2026 the experience extends upstairs, entirely reimagined with new sets and paintings inspired by the manor's iconic portraits, and the menu has been revamped. 😱

What you need to know about this limited-time experience:

• Walk-in, no reservation needed, throughout the season
• Halloween menus on the saloon's à la carte menu (in 2025, expect €30 for adults and €16 for children; 2026 prices to be confirmed on site)
• Meal plans and Disneyland Pass discounts were accepted in 2025, to be checked for this edition

On the decoration side, Main Street U.S.A. gains 40 new pumpkins and 170 candles featuring Mickey and friends, Victorian-inspired garlands, an original musical score and night-time projections. Four new art deco stained-glass windows adorn Main Street Station with Maleficent and Ursula, and the Castle gates are overgrown with brambles, crows and Disney Villains emblems. Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy sport new outfits (mystic count, little witch, vampire and Mrs Bat), and Stitch as a vampire is waiting for you at Casey's Corner. Foodies should try the Hellish Brookie at Market House Deli and Ursula's Curse Cake at Victoria's Home-Style Restaurant.
