Every Year Deserves a Magical Ending: Halloween and Christmas at Disneyland® Paris in 2026
Disney Halloween Festival 2026: Dates and Highlights
Dates: 26 September – 1 November 2026 | Disneyland® Park
From 26 September to 1 November 2026, Disney Halloween Festival casts its spell over Disneyland® Park once more. Pumpkins line every path, the Disney Villains come out to play, and after dark, Sleeping Beauty Castle turns properly wicked. And the best bit? It's all included with your standard Park ticket, right through to Halloween night itself.
What to expect at Disney Halloween Festival?
Mickey's Halloween Celebration: the daytime cavalcade, weaving along Main Street, U.S.A.® and through Central Plaza, with Disney Characters dressed in their best Halloween costumes.
A Nightfall with Disney Villains: new for 2026. As the sun sets, the Disney Villains take over the show at Sleeping Beauty Castle, lighting the night with projected imagery and a dazzling drone display.
Meet the Disney Villains: keep an eye out for Maleficent and Jafar prowling around Disneyland® Park, alongside familiar faces like Goofy and Chip 'n' Dale, dressed for the occasion.
Jack Skellington and Sally: the Pumpkin King and his friend, from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, visit Disneyland® Park from Halloween Town. (Virtual Queue - Booking required)
Phantom Manor: open all year in Disneyland® Park, and never quite as unsettling as it is once the Halloween decorations creep in around it.
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™: the drop ride waiting in Disney Adventure World, all year round, for anyone after a proper adrenaline hit alongside their Halloween fun.
Our tip: 31 October is the busiest day of the whole season. For the same spooky fun with far shorter queues, aim for a mid-week date in early October instead — every decoration and every show is already running from opening weekend.
Disney Enchanted Christmas: Dates and Highlights
7 November 2026 – 6 January 2027 | Disneyland® Park & Disney Adventure World
From 7 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, unwrap the magic of Christmas — Disney style — as festive decorations, seasonal entertainment and Disney Characters bring both Disney Parks to life throughout the holiday season.

And best of all, it's included with your standard Park ticket!
What to expect at Disney Enchanted Christmas?
Mickey's Dazzling Christmas Parade!: the centrepiece of the season, running twice a day through Disneyland® Park, so you're never far from a chance to catch it.
Magical Christmas Tree Lighting: the tree in Town Square stands 78 feet tall and lights up again and again throughout the day and into the evening.
"Let's Sing Christmas!" musical show: a festive sing-along with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Clarabelle, guaranteed to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.
Christmas in Arendelle: new for 2026. World of Frozen at Disney Adventure World joins the celebrations for the very first time, bringing a wintry Arendelle atmosphere with it.

New Year's Eve: end the year in style on 31 December, with a festive atmosphere in Disneyland® Park you won't find anywhere else.
