Happiest Greetings on Earth, Jasmin! Thank you so much for visiting planDisney and it'll be an honor to help you continue preparing for your visit to Disneyland Resort during
Halloween Time! This special celebration takes place August 23 - October 31 this year, and you're going to love all the decor, treats, character costumes, and more frightful delights of the season!
I completely understand your wish to see all the nighttime spectaculars that Disneyland Resort traditionally offers! They are among my top priorities when I plan my own family's visits, too. Unfortunately, we are still just a bit outside the window in which we can view the scheduled showtimes for your visit dates. The
Hours & Events Calendar is typically populated about 6 weeks in advance, and as of today, I can only view through the first day of October. My best suggestion in this case is to simply check back a little later this week, with the hope that your October visit dates will be updated very soon.
It is true that
Fantasmic! has been scheduled predominantly on weekends during this time of year. Of course, this is subject to change, but if I were in your shoes, I might suggest prioritizing this for the Friday of your trip. As for
World of Color - ONE, I've noted that is listed on the refurbishment schedule as far as we can tell, through October 1. Again, the Hours & Events Calendar will continue to be updated on a rolling basis so that is going to be your best resource to continue looking for information on schedules, showtimes, and events during your visit. Another element you will want to consider is that October 3 happens to be a special event date for
Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party which means that Disney California Adventure Park will close early to Guests who do not hold one of these special event tickets. I know this is a lot of information to keep in mind, so please don't hesitate to come back to planDisney if we can help clarify anything!
Now, Jasmin, one possible option that would maximize your time and your ability to experience the most out of your visit to the Disneyland Resort theme parks is to consider purchasing a
Park Hopper ticket. This would enable your travel party to visit both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park on the same day, during the eligible Park Hopper hours so long as there is capacity. I find that this is a particularly good investment in a situation where there is an after-hours party or when I want to optimize the live entertainment options that are tied to a specific schedule. If you'd like to consider upgrading your ticket to this Park Hopper option, you'll want to
contact Guest Services by phone so they can talk through your options and ensure that you have your park reservations set up correctly.
I hope this has been a helpful start, Jasmin. I truly wish you and your loved ones a spectacular visit to Disneyland Resort and on behalf of all of us at
planDisney, we'd be happy to help again if you ever have other questions that come up. Please don't hesitate to come back and see us again real soon!
Happy Haunts,
Tishra
