Hello, Jose, and welcome to planDisney! August is a great time to visit the Disneyland Resort, and it looks like you will arrive just before
Halloween Time kicks off. You’re in for a festive visit!
While I appreciate planning ahead, it's a little too early to know which attractions may be closed for refurbishment in August 2025. The
Hours & Events Calendar is generally updated on a rolling basis to show details up to six weeks out. With that in mind, I recommend checking again around the second week of July. Use the “Day View” on the calendar for the clearest snapshot of park hours, showtimes, and refurbishment details. Just remember that closures are subject to change, so it’s a good idea to revisit the calendar as your trip approaches.
Halloween Time is expected to return on Friday, August 22, 2025. I would venture to guess that Haunted Mansion will be unavailable a few weeks before then, since it takes a little time to transform it into
Haunted Mansion Holiday. It's one of my favorite attractions, with countless nods to The Nightmare Before Christmas. We'll have a better idea about the timing of this, as well as other planned closures, by mid-July.
Jose, it was also recently announced that some elements of the
70th Anniversary Celebration will continue into Halloween Time. This has generated a lot of excitement because Guests will be able to enjoy Paint the Night, World of Color Happiness!, and Tapestry of Happiness along with seasonal entertainment. I highly recommend seeing
Wondrous Journeys before August 22, 2025 if you have the chance – it's my favorite nighttime spectacular, especially when it's watched in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Once Halloween Time begins, this show will pause to make way for
Halloween Screams, which is also a lot of fun.
There are a few
Oogie Boogie Bash event dates around the time of your visit, Jose – have you ever been? It's one of my favorite separately ticketed events at the Disneyland Resort, with rare Character appearances, treat trails (and lots of candy), special entertainment, and more inside California Adventure. Tickets will go on sale soon, so take a look and see if you want to do it while you're visiting.
I hope your upcoming trip is filled with laughter, adventure, and memorable moments. If you have any other questions, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
Wishing you magic,
Kriss
