Disneyland Paris is running its Disney Halloween Festival from September 26 through November 1, 2026, so if you're planning a fall trip to the Paris park, there's going to be a lot of seasonal atmosphere to experience.
Here's what you need to know about what's new this year.
Villain Meet-and-Greets and Character Appearances
You'll be able to meet Cruella, Maleficent, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts, and Dr. Facilier around the park during the festival. Over in Frontierland, there's also Jack Skellington, Sally, and the Pumpkin King from The Nightmare Before Christmas. Heads up: you'll need to use the Disneyland Paris Mobile App to join a virtual queue for character meet-and-greets on the day of your visit.
The Unlucky Nugget Saloon Grows
The Lucky Nugget Saloon returns as The Unlucky Nugget Saloon in Frontierland, decorated to match the spooky vibe of Phantom Manor next door. The restaurant's got a story: it was supposed to host a celebration for the Ravenswood family, but something went wrong, hence the "unlucky" name. This year, the experience is expanding upstairs with new artwork and decor inspired by the portraits from the Phantom Manor attraction. You'll find Halloween-themed menus here throughout the festival.
Main Street Gets the Halloween Treatment
Main Street, U.S.A. is getting a significant seasonal makeover. The park's added four new Art Deco stained-glass windows featuring Maleficent and Ursula at the station entrance, and Town Square will be filled with Mickey and Minnie carved pumpkins and Donald and Goofy-shaped candles.
Once the sun sets, Main Street transforms with projection mapping on the building facades showing Disney Villains, plus about 40 new pumpkins, 170 new candles, and a brand-new original Halloween-themed musical score. Up at Sleeping Beauty Castle, the gates are decorated with thorns, ravens, and villain-inspired emblems.
The "Mickey's Halloween Celebration" Cavalcade
The popular Halloween cavalcade is back with its usual cast plus some less common characters like Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar. Mickey's Manor of Illusions float returns with Mickey doing his quick costume changes throughout the parade.
New Food and Merchandise
You'll find Halloween treats around the park, including the Devilish Brookie at Market House Deli and Ursula's Curse Cake at Victoria's Home-Style Restaurant. There's also new Halloween merchandise featuring seasonal colors and designs, including a Pumpkin Mickey shoulder plush.
Special Halloween Day Details
On October 31, the park's staying open until 11 p.m., and you're allowed to wear Halloween costumes. At closing that night, there's a show called "A Nightfall with Disney Villains" at the castle, followed by the nighttime spectacular "Disney Tales of Magic."
Character Outfit Changes
Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy will all be wearing new Victorian-style Halloween costumes throughout the season.
