Greetings, Melissa!
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, and thanks for your FANGtastic question about
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort! This is my very favorite season at the Happiest Place on Earth, so I just can't wait for you and your son to enjoy your spooktacular trip.
I can assure you there are SO MANY frightfully fun experiences, foods, attractions, and Characters at both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park during the Halloween Season outside of the Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party. As soon as you step foot in either park you will be greeted with amazing Halloween decor. You may even see some of your favorite Disney Characters meeting Guests in their Halloween costumes! Make sure to pick up a
Halloween Foodie Guide for a list of the NUMEROUS eats and treats that are here JUST for the season. Some of these devilishly delightful food items are almost too cute to eat.
My son's favorite spot in the parks for Halloween is in Cars Land of Disney California Adventure Park. This land is completely transformed and decked out for Halloween. Even two of the three attractions here have been made over with Halloween-themed music in Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween. Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater, Red, and Cruz are also dressed for the season!
New this year in Disneyland Park, you can also catch the amazing music and projection show (with fireworks on select nights) in
Halloween Screams which doesn't require a party ticket.
I hope this helps, but beware of hitchhiking ghosts!
