Hi Alicia,
Welcome to planDisney! I'm happy to hear you're planning an October trip to the Happiest Place on Earth. Let’s talk about park décor during this special time!
As you mentioned,
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort begins on August 22 and ends on October 31.
Plaza De La Familia will also be taking place at California Adventure from August 22 -until November 2 After that, the parks begin their winter holiday transformation. For 2025, the
Holidays Begin at Disneyland will take place from November 14, 2025, to January 7, 2026, with the
Festival of Holidays happening during that same time at Disney California Adventure. During these festive seasons, there will be a pause on the 70th anniversary entertainment, and the resort will be fully decorated for the holidays.
If your heart is set on experiencing the
70th anniversary décor and entertainment, you have two options:
1)
Push up your trip: Consider rescheduling for late July or early August. Disneyland is currently offering special
ticket and
hotel deals to celebrate the anniversary.
2)
Push back your trip: The 70th anniversary celebration will resume after the holiday season and continue through summer 2026. This gives you more time to enjoy the
yummy treats,
magical entertainment, and
eye catching merchandise that you won’t want to miss!
Alicia, you may also want to consider attending
Oogie Boogie Bash as an alternative Halloween experience. We’re more than halfway to Halloween, so I hope we’ll start hearing from Disney soon about what’s in store for Halloween Time 2025. Hopefully, we’ll also get a confirmed date for when Oogie Boogie Bash tickets go on sale. Be sure to follow
@DisneyParksBlog on Instagram to stay updated on all the Halloween news!
I hope this helps with your planning, Alicia! If you have any more questions or need additional tips, don’t hesitate to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to sprinkle a little extra pixie dust on your vacation.
Have a magical vacation!
