Disney Villains and Playful Pranks: What to Expect at Disneyland Paris' 2023 Halloween Festival

Get ready to be immersed in a wickedly-fun Halloween atmosphere as the Disney Halloween Festival returns to Disneyland Paris from October 1 through November 5, 2023. This year, the festivities are bigger and spookier than ever, with three different teams coming together to show foolish mortals what the true spirit of Halloween is all about. Prepare to have a hauntingly good time as ghouls just want to have fun!

First up, we have the Mischief Makers team led by Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends. They are embracing a "trick or treat" mindset and have some mischievous plans in store for both children and grown-ups. Join in the hilarity as they take part in Mickey's Halloween Celebration, a devilishly entertaining cavalcade that will make its way through Disneyland Park. Clap your hands and stomp your feet as you join this playful procession. And don't miss the chance to meet and greet these beloved Disney Characters dressed in their most boo-tiful Halloween costumes.

But what's Halloween without the Disney Villains? Maleficent, Captain Hook, and Jafar are here to make their mark and stand out from the crowd. Throughout the ghostly season, guests will have fiendishly fun encounters with these iconic villains in Disneyland Park. And when the moon rises, get ready for A Nightfall with Disney Villains. This mesmerising pre-show before the Disney Dreams®! nighttime spectacle will see the evilest characters taking over Sleeping Beauty Castle. Prepare to be spellbound as fountains, video projections, and music combine to create a truly unforgettable experience.

For those seeking an extra dose of mystery, look no further than Phantom Manor. The happy ghosts of this iconic attraction have materialised to play tricks on all foolish mortals who dare to enter its gates. And if you manage to escape their clutches, head over to Walt Disney Studios Park for another eerie adventure – The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Brace yourself as you may find yourself transported into another dimension!

Of course, Halloween isn't just about thrills and chills. Indulge your taste buds with devilishly delicious food and drinks available at the Park's restaurants. And don't forget to shop for fang-tastic souvenirs inspired by the different teams. Whether you're a foodie or a shopping enthusiast, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

To make this Halloween even more special, the Park's opening hours will be extended on October 31. Guests can fully immerse themselves in the extra Halloween atmosphere until the Park's closure. It's the perfect way to celebrate the spookiest night of the year!

So mark your calendars and get ready to experience the most wickedly fun Halloween at Disneyland Paris.
