Walt Disney World
The biggest Disney Halloween operation in the world starts earliest: Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party opens August 7, the earliest date in event history, running select nights through October 31 with tickets from $119 to $229. The wider fall season, from the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival to resort-wide decor and treats, runs into late November. New for 2026: A Masquerade with Stitch and a Captain Jack Sparrow led pirate act. Our full Walt Disney World guide covers all of it, and the Magic Kingdom party anchors our Orlando Halloween hub.
Disneyland Resort
Halloween Time takes over both Anaheim parks from August 21 through October 31, with Oogie Boogie Bash at Disney California Adventure running a record 33 nights from August 18. The separately ticketed Bash remains the toughest Disney Halloween ticket in America, selling out quickly every year. Our full Disneyland guide has dates, party details, and what changed for 2026.
Tokyo Disney Resort
Disney Halloween runs September 16 through October 31 at both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea, with DisneySea’s Coco-inspired Lazos de la Familia event running through November 2. The 2026 lineup largely returns 2025’s slate, from the overnight Villains parade to the Haunted Mansion Nightmare Before Christmas overlay and Japan’s famous full-costume windows for adult guests. Our Tokyo lineup breakdown covers what is new and what returns.
Disneyland Paris
Disneyland Paris has confirmed its Disney Halloween Festival for September 26 through November 1, 2026, an earlier start than last year, with the full program still to be revealed. Our Disneyland Paris Halloween page tracks what is confirmed and updates as the lineup lands.
Hong Kong Disneyland and Shanghai Disney Resort
Neither Asian resort has announced its 2026 Halloween event yet. For pattern context: Hong Kong Disneyland’s 2025 season, Disney Villains Crush the Wickedest Halloween Party, ran September 19 through November 2 with the after-hours Uninvited villains party, and Shanghai’s 2025 Halloween ran October 4 through November 1 with the park debut of Mother Gothel. Both resorts typically announce in late August and September. Our dedicated pages track each: Hong Kong Disneyland Halloween, covering the stable event skeleton and the year-to-year headline turnover, and Shanghai Disneyland Halloween, covering Spook-tacular Days and the annual debut-villain pattern.
