Disney fans are about to have an eventful October! Walt Disney World and Disneyland continue to celebrate the fall season with their Halloween-themed celebrations at the Parks. At Walt Disney World, Guests can celebrate in Magic Kingdom with Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Disneyland offers Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party set with villains, treats, and much more.
The holidays at any Disney Park are always a magical time. Disney’s events are never short of unique experiences themed for that holiday. The Halloween-themed events are no different, with limited-time bites and sips, entertainment, firework shows, and merchandise. Once the fall celebrations come to an end in November, Disney World and Disneyland will quickly transform the Parks into a winter wonderland. In lieu of Christmas and Hanukkah, the Parks will then offer new celebrations.

This year, Disney World will offer Mickey’s Verry Merry Christmas Party at Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Jollywood Nights at Hollywood Studios. Disneyland will celebrate with Disney Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure Park. And, of course, with new celebrations come more limited-time opportunities like festive bites, holiday decor, and exclusive merchandise.
But it doesn’t just take a holiday celebration for Disney to release new experiences. In fact, Disney is always working on new ways to innovate the Parks, create new merchandise, and explore all the ways to make Disney grow. As new films are released, so are new opportunities for Guests to immerse themselves in the movie’s theme.
And even if it’s not a new film, the Disney classics are often being reimagined. Disney classics, reimagined or not, will hold a special place in every Disney fan’s heart, which means we’ll always love new experiences featuring our favorite characters.
As we approach October, Disney has some big plans for the holidays, new films, classic characters, and more.
