What's this, Daisy? You're planning on some mischievous fun at the Happiest Place on Earth during one of my family's favorite times of year! I'm so glad you stopped by planDisney with your question, because I love chatting about
Halloween Time at Disneyland!
Last year, the Pumpkin King and his friend Sally could be found in New Orleans Square greeting Guests near
Royal Street Veranda on select days. And
Disney has announced that they will be returning for
Halloween Time this year, as well, like you mentioned! However, Jack Skellington and Sally are quite busy during spooky season so, unfortunately, we won't know their meeting schedule ahead of time. Boo!
But don't fear! The
Disneyland app will be your best pal when you're in the park, Daisy, as it should inform you if Jack and Sally are greeting Guests on the day of your visit, and where you can find them! From the park map in the app, locate the "Characters" icon at the top. Explore the park finding characters in various locations or click "Show List" in the bottom righthand corner to see all the pals who are available to meet, and where and when you can find them - including Jack and Sally!
If you've got some Jack and Sally fans in your family, Daisy, you may want to prioritize attending the
Oogie Boogie Bash after-hours party in California Adventure Park! My son and I had so much fun last year dressed as Jack and Sally and especially loved the exclusive Frightfully Fun Parade featuring the real Jack and Sally - which is only offered during the after-hours event. Oogie Boogie Bash does require a separate ticket, and there are multiple dates already sold out, but it wouldn't hurt to
take a look at ticket availability to see if there is a date that might work for your upcoming visit.
But your family definitely does not want to miss experiencing
Haunted Mansion Holiday! Jack Skellington has been busy getting the Haunted Mansion ready for visitors. My family always feels a thrill making our way through Halloween Town, just like in The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I hope this information has been helpful, Daisy! And remember, if any other planning questions come up, anything from how to utilize the
Disneyland app or more details on Oogie Boogie Bash, please don't hesitate to reach out to me! I'd love to share more of my tips and recommendations for a ghoulishly good time in Disneyland!
Above all, from the bottom of my heart, I wish you the most magical visit, Daisy!
