Disneyland Paris has confirmed its Disney Halloween Festival for September 26 through November 1, 2026, an earlier start than last season. The park’s pitch sets the tone: mischievous Disney Villains join Mickey and Friends “in conjuring up a happy haunting in Disneyland Park, filled with spellbinding décor and exclusive entertainment.” More of the program has now been revealed, and this page updates as Paris fills in the rest.

What Paris Has Confirmed
Three anchors are already on the official page. Mickey’s Halloween Celebration returns as the season’s cavalcade, with Disney Friends riding autumn-themed floats along Parade Road. The park-wide decor program brings back the pumpkins and what Paris cheerfully calls “the most adorable ghosts.” And the character lineup leans into villains, with Character Encounters promising Disney Villains alongside favorites in their Halloween best.
Paris has since filled in more of the program. The Lucky Nugget Saloon in Frontierland becomes the “Unlucky” Nugget Saloon, a pop-up dining overlay with gothic decor and a reimagined menu, themed around a lavish wedding reception that never quite happened. A family treasure hunt sends guests after the Mysterious Doors scattered around the park: pick up a map from a Cast Member, track down the doors tied to various mystical beings, and solve the clues to claim an M&M’s treat while supplies last. The character lineup has grown too, adding Stitch and the Nightmare Before Christmas pair, Jack Skellington and Sally, alongside the villains.
Disney’s email also flags Halloween night, October 31, as the big one, with both Paris parks staying open late and surprises unique to Disneyland Park. Disneyland Paris News has since confirmed that the October 31 program runs until 11 p.m. with exclusive Character Encounters, a fireworks show, and M&M’S treats, and that it is the only day of the year guests of all ages can visit in costume.
Paris traditionally runs its Halloween season inside regular admission, unlike the separately ticketed parties at the U.S. parks, and past seasons have added hard-ticket Halloween party nights late in October. For 2026, Disneyland Paris says the whole festival, including the October 31 program, is included in admission at no extra charge, and no separate party night has been announced.
