This autumn, everyone can share unforgettable moments with Disney Villains and Disney Characters, some even sporting brand-new seasonal outfits. Mickey’s Halloween Celebration parade, a must-see, makes its grand return through a Disneyland Park completely decked out with new Halloween decorations, stretching from Main Street, U.S.A. right up to Sleeping Beauty Castle. For thrill-seekers, iconic attractions amp up the suspense, mystery, and fun with immersive stories.

And here’s a secret: this is the only day of the year when adults and kids can come dressed in full costume!

5 Reasons to Dive into the Autumn Season at Disneyland Paris

The entire Disneyland Park will get an enchanting atmosphere! Main Street, U.S.A. will sparkle with about forty new pumpkins, 170 new Mickey and friends-themed candles, and Victorian-inspired garlands. A brand-new original musical score will set the mood, and nightly projections will transform Main Street into an even more mysterious and immersive avenue. In Frontierland, the area around Casa de Coco – Restaurante de Familia will celebrate the “Día de los Muertos” with vibrant Mexican-inspired decorations. This immersion extends to the Disney Hotels, where guests discover an autumnal ambiance inspired by Disney, Pixar, and Marvel stories.

Prepare for devilishly fun encounters with Disney Villains and Characters! Mickey and his friends will meet guests alongside iconic Disney Villains like Cruella, Maleficent, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts, and Doctor Facilier from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog. Jack Skellington and Sally from Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas also return. Just a heads-up: on the day of your visit, you might need to join a virtual queue for some character meets via the Disneyland Paris mobile app, subject to availability.

You’ll find thrills in both Disney Parks! For adrenaline junkies, Disneyland Paris offers plenty of exhilarating attractions. In Disneyland Park, The Dragon’s Lair and Big Thunder Mountain promise a good dose of excitement amidst spectacular settings, while Phantom Manor invites guests to explore a mysterious mansion. For guests with visual impairments, Phantom Manor offers an immersive experience with audio description available in French and English via the AudioSpot app. Over in Disney Adventure World, the bravest can take the plunge from The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror – A Jump into the Fourth Dimension, for a dizzying 13-story drop.

Mickey’s Halloween Celebration, a spectacular cavalcade, remains one of the season’s highlights in Disneyland Park. Featuring four floats, Daisy leads the procession, followed by many Disney Characters, including some rarer ones like Clarabelle and Horace. Surrounded by pumpkins, lanterns, and hay bales, the floats parade to a festive soundtrack. The grand finale features Mickey aboard his Mansion of Illusions float, where illusions and quick costume changes bring the cavalcade to a dazzling close.

Halloween’s spirit also invades the plates and shops! Foodies can savor new treats inspired by mischievous spirits and Disney Villains, like the Hellish Brookie at Market House Deli or Ursula’s Curse Cake at Victoria’s Home-Style Restaurant. Plus, an exclusive collection in the season’s colors offers a range of souvenirs, including the Mickey Pumpkin shoulder plush, perfect for extending the Halloween magic long after your visit.

The 3 Most Striking New Additions for the 2026 Season

Terrifically Fun New Decor on Main Street U.S.A.

Upon arrival, guests will discover four new art deco stained-glass windows at Main Street Station, featuring Maleficent and Ursula, surrounded by burnt-out candles, banners, and grinning Mickey pumpkins.

All along Main Street, new banners will unveil Disney Villains’ silhouettes in shadow puppet style. This stroll culminates at the Castle Theatre, where an unprecedented decor of castle doors overrun with thorns, ravens, and Disney Villains-inspired emblems will immerse guests in a mysterious atmosphere.

The Unlucky Nugget Saloon More Enchanting Than Ever

In Frontierland, The Lucky Nugget Saloon once again transforms into The Unlucky Nugget Saloon, inspired by the Phantom Manor universe. This spot invites epicureans to trace the steps of Melanie Ravenswood’s wedding reception, which was never celebrated. On the ground floor, the staging blends decor, music, lighting, and special effects for an experience both intriguing and delicious. New this year, the experience extends to the upper floor, completely reimagined with new decorative elements and paintings inspired by the attraction’s iconic portraits. A revamped menu completes the offer, creating an atmosphere more enigmatic and immersive than ever.
