The Disney Halloween Festival Returns to Disneyland Paris

Mickey and his friends are wearing costumes created especially for the occasion.

(eap) From 26 September to 1 November, the “Disney Halloween Festival” will once again take place at Disneyland® Park. The family-friendly Halloween event is included in the regular park admission at no extra charge and will reach its highlight on 31 October. On that day, guests will be able to enjoy the park until 11pm, with a special programme featuring meet-and-greets with Disney characters as well as a fireworks display. Only on this day will visitors be allowed to attend in their own Halloween costumes if they wish. Several Disney characters and Disney villains will appear in new costumes specially created for the Halloween festival.
