Comments

  • Does anyone know if the hours will be the same as last year?

  • In previous years have party dates sold out before going on sale to the general public? We are coming from Australia, and will be at the park on 31 Oct and would love to stay for the Halloween Party at night, but actually being Halloween, I’m worried the tickets will be sold out before 28 July.

  • I was wondering if they plan on doing the dining event at blue bayou with Dr Facilier, like last year? Wasn’t able to go last year and would love to if it’s happening this year?

  • Still don’t like the thought of getting kicked out of Disneyland early on Oct. 26 (Wed.) as we don’t want to pay $89 each for this party. But still trying to salvage our vacation and hotel reservations which were made back in April.

    Is this just for Disneyland (the early exit)…or does it also include California Adventure?

  • Where do I purchase the tickets at?

  • I have never been to MNNSH. Was wondering, if you aren’t going to it, what areas are blocked off for the Halloween party? Also, what time does the park close for the people that aren’t going?

  • Tamara Vickers, the Halloween season starts Sept 9th, which means all the decorations will be up around the parks and special snacks and food will be available. Then on selected nights starting on the 23rd, the offer the Halloween parties. These are separate ticketed events. If you don’t purchase the tickets, you cannot attend the party. Also, if you are at the park during the day of the party and do not have the Halloween party tickets for that night, you will have to leave the park when the party starts. Hope this helps.

  • The dates are conflicting, in the heading it say from the 9th of September through to the 31st of October, but when you look at the date calender it says it starts on Friday the 23rd of September. WE ARE COMING FROM AUSTRALIA early September and would like to attend….

  • When do they start changing the Haunted Mansion over for the holidays? I’d like to go on the normal one again before it’s the holiday version!

  • dude, this is way too early. i mean, will school even be in session yet?

  • We are visiting Disneyland for the first time September 8,9 and 10. With the Halloween overlays being added to Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, will they be available for us at this time or not? Thanks!

  • When will the Mahalloween event be scheduled?

  • I really wish, like a lot of other guests, that there was more clarity in the costume guidelines for guests age 14 and up. Can we wear costumes or not??? Because the brief guidelines provided only confuse me more, rather than giving me an answer one way or another. Thanks.

  • Would like to know also if mystical spirits is going to be available also.

  • Steve Metzler, Halloween Time starts on 9/9 but the Mickey’s Halloween Party nights don’t start until 9/23. So you’ll have the Halloween decorations when you visit before the 23rd but not the option to attend a Halloween Party night.

  • Where can you buy the tickets?

  • Why wasn’t the Tower of Terror mentioned as a Halloweentime ride? These Halloween announcements and all the marketing materials had always mentioned Tower of Terror in the past. Will I be able to ride Tower of Terror at California Adventure this October?

  • Will there be a special parade during the event or the same parade as offered daily prior to the event starting?

  • Will mystical spirits be coming back this year?

  • Steve Metzler — I’ll help clear it up.
    The Halloween Time season is what begins on Fri., September 9th. Mickey’s Halloween Party typically begins 2 weeks after the start of Halloween Time, and so this year it is kicking off on September 23rd. As part of regular, daily Halloween Time fun, you will be able to enjoy Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy and Haunted Mansion Holiday, as well as Halloween/Fall decor, foods, etc.
    Only the guests of Mickey’s Halloween Party, however, can view the Halloween Screams fireworks and the Headless Horseman.

  • So confused on the costume guidelines for adults this year! I planned to dress up as the classic Alice in Wonderland (dress, wig and all). Not sure if I can now or not!! My husband has dressed up as Jack Sparrow the past couple of years, and planned to again as well. I wish the guidelines were more specific…….”Adults MAY or MAY NOT wear costumes”

  • Joe Blenkle, It definitely will impact your visit! If you do not buy the extra Halloween party tickets on the 26th the park will close to you early. Then on the 27th the park will be more crowded because more people come when they can get their money’s worth for a full day. The park hours aren’t listed past August but if you don’t have the tickets you have to leave around 6:00 I think on a party day.

  • So this article headline says 9/9 – 10/31 but the Event site doesn’t show any parties until 9/23. When does this event actually begin? I’ll be there the week before the 23rd and would LOVE to attend.

  • We were going to be at Disneyland Oct. 26 & 27, but did not know about Mickey’s Halloween Party (one date is the 26th)…not really interested in the extra festivities (or cost)…will this impact our visit?

  • Is there any word yet on if/when Mahaloween 2016 tickets will go on sale?

  • For Guests Ages 14 and Older
