Is it too early to get excited for Halloween [1]? 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 [2] Time dates for 2017, so mark your calendars for your visit [3].
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 [4] ahead!
