Disneyland Paris is hosting the Disney Halloween Festival from 26 September to 1 November 2026 in Marne-la-Vallée, France. The seasonal programme brings Halloween decorations, character encounters and Mickey’s Halloween Celebration to Disneyland Park, with a special programme on 31 October 2026.
The event is the current reason to plan an autumn visit, as the festival remains under way on 4 October 2026 and continues through the first day of November.
Disney Halloween Festival brings new scenes to Disneyland Park
The Disney Halloween Festival includes Mickey’s Halloween Celebration, a four-float cavalcade at Disneyland Park. Daisy Duck leads the procession, followed by Disney Characters including Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. The floats use pumpkins, lanterns, hay bales and a festive soundtrack.
The organiser says the programme also includes encounters with Disney Villains such as Cruella, Maleficent, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts and Dr Facilier. Jack Skellington and Sally are also scheduled to return during the season. The official festival programme places the decorations across areas including Main Street, U.S.A., Frontierland and Fantasyland.
On 31 October 2026, the special programme runs until 11pm. It includes exclusive character encounters, a fireworks show and treat distribution, while the organiser says this is the only occasion in the year when visitors of all ages may come in costume.
Disneyland Paris connects a 1992 opening with Halloween
The resort opened to the public on 12 April 1992. Its first public park was Disneyland Park, the setting for the Halloween cavalcade and much of the seasonal decoration in 2026.
Main Street, U.S.A., leads towards Sleeping Beauty Castle, and the 2026 festival links that route with new Halloween details. The organiser describes around forty new pumpkins, 170 new Mickey-shaped candles and Victorian-style garlands on Main Street, U.S.A. Night-time projections are also planned there.
In Frontierland, Casa de Coco - Restaurante de Familia is surrounded by decorations inspired by Día de los Muertos. The Halloween setting therefore follows a route through several named areas rather than remaining at a single show venue. A second account of the 2026 Halloween programme also places the festival at Disneyland Park from 26 September to 1 November.
