About Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort

Disneyland's months-long Halloween season: pumpkins on Main Street, Haunted Mansion Holiday and Oogie Boogie Bash.

Halloween Time turns Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure into a Halloween setting from late August through October 31. Main Street fills with carved pumpkins, Haunted Mansion Holiday takes over the ride, and Halloween Screams plays every night. Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed after-hours party at Disney California Adventure. The catch is that party tickets often sell out quickly.

Know before you go

• Oogie Boogie Bash is a separately ticketed, limited-capacity event.
• Party tickets often sell out quickly.
• John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Orange County is the closest airport to Anaheim.
