    We arrived late to meet Jack Skellington during our visit in October but a Disney staff member told us Jack Skellington would be back during the Christmas season but I don’t see an attraction for him. Is he at Disneyland?

    What's this, Carla? You want to see the Pumpkin King on your next visit to Disneyland? I certainly don't blame you!

    Currently, Jack Skellington appears near the Pirates of the Caribbean ride line next to the 21 Royal. You can find his meeting times inside the Disneyland Mobile App. From the app homescren, click on the pin drop icon at the bottom to open the Disneyland Resort map. On the top carousel, scroll until you find "Characters," then tap the bubble near Pirates of the Caribbean. If Jack is in the park that day, you can open the bubble to see his appearance times. For instance, today he is greeting from 1:30-4:30 PM. Now, I do want to mention that Jack sometimes does his appearances from afar, and he may not have a photo or greeting line. Also, there are times (like in inclement weather) when he isn't available at all. You'll want to keep an eye on the Disneyland Mobile App on the day of your visit for the most up-to-date information.

    Carla, if you somehow miss Jack in person, you can still ride Haunted Mansion Holiday until the end of the holiday season on January 7, 2026. It is one of my favorite ride overlays at the resort, and I can't get enough of the frightfully fun Jack and his friends making mischief with some grim grinning ghosts.

    Since you'll be visiting during the holidays, I want to be sure that you've checked out all of the holiday guides and the Disney Parks Blog. There are two Holiday foodie guides and a guide on all the characters you can see in the parks during the holidays! I love seeing Carl and Dug from Up! And storytelling with Deadpool and Wolverine is pretty hilarious!

    Carla, if you have any other questions, please feel free to visit us. I hope your wish of seeing Jack Skellington comes true!

    Happy holidays,
    Melissa
