Hi Christel, and welcome to planDisney! Your Halloween Time visit to the Disneyland Resort is just around the corner! And I'm thrilled that you are incorporating a stay at the
Disneyland Hotel. Let's talk about the first order of business for your vacation – parking your vehicle!
The Disneyland Hotel has a surface-level lot for self-parking, as well as Valet Parking. While there’s no listed height restriction, the
Disneyland website notes that oversized vehicles can be accommodated at Disneyland Resort hotels. You should be set for a smooth arrival.
Christel, once your vehicle has found its spot, it will be time to check in! If you arrive a little early and your room isn't ready yet, you are welcome to store your luggage at the hotel's Bell Desk and then explore. Grab a bite, browse the shops at the
Downtown Disney District, or even relax at the pool!
Goofy's Kitchen will be celebrating Halloween from August 22 through October 31, 2025 – head there for a buffet meal and get visited by Disney pals dressed in their best costumes! There will also be seasonal decorations and menu items – it's a great way to get in the Halloween spirit!
Speaking of
Halloween Time, Disneyland and California Adventure will feature special decorations, tasty treats, seasonal versions of popular attractions, spooky entertainment, and more fun in October. Check out the
Foodie Guide on the Disney Parks Blog for a preview of the food and drinks you'll be able to enjoy. I'm pleased to say that Paint the Night will continue during Halloween Time, too, so don't miss it!
If you're looking to add an extra dose of Halloween magic to your trip, consider booking
Disney’s Happiest Haunts: The Villains’ Trail Guided Tour. This is a two-hour experience that takes you into both parks and includes a special photo opportunity, a Lightning Lane entrance to
Haunted Mansion Holiday, and reserved viewing for the
Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular. It sounds fascinating, and I plan to take this tour soon myself!
Christel, I hope you have a lot of spooky fun at the Disneyland Resort during your upcoming visit, all starting with frightfully easy parking! If you have any other questions as you continue planning, please reach out. We're always happy to help here at planDisney!
May your visit be full of magic, laughs, and treats,
Kriss
