Halloween will be here before you know it, and the Disney Parks are getting ready to celebrate! Prepare for not-so-scary thrills and chills. Let’s take a sneak peek at some of the spooktacular things coming to the parks in the upcoming Halloween season.
Update: Details have been added about Disneyland’s Happiest Haunts Guided tour and specialty foods confirmed for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Disneyland Resort Halloween
Disneyland is scaring up some fun Halloween happenings this season. Here’s what you need to know!
Happiest Haunts Guided Tour
Guided Tours at Disneyland are a great way to learn more about Disneyland’s history and learn some of the lesser-known details about the park. This Halloween season, Disneyland is bringing back its “Happiest Haunts Guided Tour” to give guests a chance to learn the specifics of how Disneyland celebrates the spooky season.
This tour promises guests that they’ll be able to hear some (not-so) scary stories, take a break and dig into a special Halloween treat, and also watch the nighttime spectacular, Halloween Screams. Reservations for the Happiest Haunts Guided Tour will be available to book starting August 3.
Oogie Boogie Bash (SOLD OUT)
Disneyland guests can look forward to the return of Oogie Boogie Bash, a Halloween after-hours party in Disney California Adventure. The separately ticketed, limited-capacity event will run on 25 select nights from September 5 through October 31. After a ticketing disaster on the general admission date, and a similarly frustrating experience on the second date, the party has completely sold out.

It’s interesting to note that the World of Color Villainous is once again missing from the party details. It’s such a shame, we really enjoyed Villainous. The Oogie Boogie Bash-exclusive nighttime spectacular ran during the inaugural party and has not returned since.

For a recap of what Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party looked like last year, take a look at the article below:
A Preview of Halloween Merchandise
One of the best things about Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is the event-exclusive merchandise. And we share a sneak peek! While the black Spirit Jersey is clearly made specifically for the party, we suspect that the other merchandise may be more widely available this coming Halloween season.
So far, we have been able to see two Spirit Jersey options, two Mickey Ear headbands, one baseball hat, one Loungefly backpack, and a giant light-up Mickey pumpkin blow mold (this one was a huge hit last year). Overall, the designs are whimsical and bright, featuring lots of Mickey Mouse pumpkins.
In addition to the pumpkin-covered merchandise, there is also a new Spirit Jersey and plush set inspired by the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, a show from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
If you’re in the mood for more Disney-themed Halloween merchandise, there’s plenty that’s already available! Take a look at the articles below for your first look at the most adorable Halloween goodies ahead of the spooky season.
New Specialty Beverage For Halloween!
The Halloween season is perfect for some specialty foods. Can anyone say pumpkin?!
Keeping with the Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party offerings, Joffrey’s will be offering an exclusive specialty beverage during the event, and I got to try it… The White Pumpkin party-exclusive drink will be available at the Joffrey’s Coffee Revive kiosk in Tomorrowland and can be ordered as either a latte or steamer. It’s the perfect drink to get you into the Halloween spirit!
