Disneyland Paris has unveiled the first details of its Disney Halloween Festival, with the popular seasonal celebration returning from 26th September until 1st November 2026.
This year’s event promises another spellbinding mix of thrills, chills and plenty of family-friendly fun, as Disneyland Park is transformed with autumn decorations, mischievous Disney Characters and unforgettable seasonal experiences.
Throughout the festival, guests can explore a park filled with colourful Halloween décor, including brand-new pumpkin carvings created especially for 2026. As the sun sets, Main Street, U.S.A. will take on an even more enchanting atmosphere, with the seasonal decorations helping to create the perfect setting for an autumn evening at the resort.
One of the biggest additions this year is the arrival of Dr. Facilier. The villain from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog will make special appearances in Frontierland, giving guests the chance to meet the charismatic “Shadow Man” during the Halloween season.
Goofy and Donald Duck will also debut brand-new Halloween costumes created exclusively for this year’s festival, joining the celebrations alongside other Disney Characters throughout Disneyland Park.
Fans of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas will once again be able to meet Jack Skellington and Sally. Their popular character encounter returns for the 2026 festival, with access available via the Disneyland Paris Virtual Queue system.
Halloween dining also returns with the transformation of the Lucky Nugget Saloon into the Unlucky Nugget Saloon. The Frontierland restaurant will once again embrace a spooky theme, inviting guests to enjoy a haunted atmosphere alongside a selection of limited-time Halloween-inspired food and drinks.
Families can also take part in the M&M’S Halloween Treat Hunt, an interactive experience that sends guests searching across Disneyland Park for mysterious doors hidden throughout the five themed lands. After solving each clue, participants can complete their adventure at Boardwalk Candy Palace to receive a Halloween surprise.
Disneyland Paris says the Disney Halloween Festival will once again combine playful Disney magic with light-hearted spooky fun, offering plenty of seasonal experiences for guests of all ages to enjoy.
The Disney Halloween Festival runs from 26th September to 1st November 2026 at Disneyland Park, with more details about this year’s entertainment programme expected to be announced closer to the start of the season.
