Disneyland Park in Anaheim is part of Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, which continues from 21 August through 31 October 2026. The seasonal programme covers themed attractions, entertainment and decorations across the resort, giving visitors a defined autumn programme during the final weeks of October.
Halloween Time continues across Disneyland Park until 31 October
Disney describes Halloween Time as a family-friendly seasonal celebration running from 21 August through 31 October 2026. At Disneyland Park, the Main Street Pumpkin Festival places hundreds of hand-carved pumpkins along Main Street, U.S.A., while Halloween Screams brings an evening show with villainous imagery, music and fireworks on selected nights.
The park also presents Haunted Mansion Holiday, a seasonal version of the attraction inspired by Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. Characters including Jack and Sally appear in New Orleans Square, while Disney villains are listed for Fantasyland. These elements connect the closing date of Halloween Time with named areas and attractions inside the original park, rather than with a general city-wide celebration. The official Halloween Time programme gives the full period and the park features.
Disneyland Park links a 1955 opening with the autumn programme
Disneyland Park is the original Disney theme park and opened on 17 July 1955. It forms part of the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, alongside Disney California Adventure Park, three hotels and the Downtown Disney District.
The resort's 2026 Halloween programme uses established parts of the older park as seasonal settings. The pumpkin display is placed on Main Street, U.S.A.; Haunted Mansion Holiday changes the presentation of a named attraction; and Halloween Screams uses the park's evening entertainment programme. The 2026 fall announcement also identifies Halloween entertainment at Disney California Adventure Park, including Mickey's Trick and Treat.
