Halloween Time at WDW and Disneyland

Disneyland Resort - Mickey's Halloween Party 2016 Party Guide for Reference 2017 Party Guide The 2017 dates for Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland are September 20, 22, 25, 27, 29 , and October 3, 6, 10, 13, 17, 20, 24, 27, and 31, 2017. The party runs from 6-11PM or 7-12AM depending on the evening.  Much like WDW, you can enter the park 3 hours prior to the official start of the party, however, your ticket is not good for the entire day, and you need a special party ticket to attend the party.   New for 2017: Your Halloween Party ticket will include admission to BOTH parks – Disneyland and California Adventure – up to 3 hours prior to party time. Special party only activities include: trick or treat stations, Halloween Screams Fireworks, The Ride of the Headless Horseman, the Frightfully Fun Parade, Cadaver Dans, Villain photo ops, Pre-party in Toon Town to meet Mickey and Minnie and trick or treat, and more!
