This Disneyland Halloween News Will Make Your ENTIRE Day

By Hilary White

Is it too early to get excited for Halloween? We think not. Luckily for us, Disneyland is already planning to make this year another one park-goers won't forget. At D23, Disney announced its Disneyland Halloween Time dates for 2017, so mark your calendars for your visit.

Starting September 15, the resort will begin the fun festivities. Mickey's Halloween Party will run on select nights from September 20 through October 31. Check out the exciting details ahead!

Here's what to look forward to at Disney California Adventure:

  • Oogie Boogie will beckon guests through the main entrance and thousands of bats will cover the night sky.
  • Headless Horseman statue's "menacing presence" will be on Buena Vista Street.
  • Swarms of black bats will coil around Carthay Circle's Bell Tower.
  • Radiator Springs will transform into Radiator Screams, with a Happy Hallo-theme all over Cars Land!
  • Cars characters will strike a pose in hilarious Halloween costumes.
  • Guests can go for a "spell-binding" spin on Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree — both will be decked out with new holiday-themed music and decor.
