UPDATE: Disneyland Paris has released the full 2026 Disney Halloween Festival program, adding new character outfits, an expanded restaurant overlay, Main Street projections and an October 31 late-night show.
The festival still runs from September 26 through November 1 at Disneyland Park. Those dates were announced in July; the September update fills in what guests will see during the season.
Victorian Halloween looks for Mickey and friends
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck and Daisy Duck will appear in new Victorian-style Halloween outfits. Mickey's Halloween Celebration also returns with Goofy, Chip 'n' Dale, Daisy, Clarabelle Cow, Horace Horsecollar and Mickey's Manor of Illusions float.
The Unlucky Nugget expands upstairs
The Lucky Nugget Saloon in Frontierland will again become The Unlucky Nugget Saloon. The limited-time experience expands upstairs this year with new decor and artwork inspired by Phantom Manor's portraits. The restaurant remains open and adds Halloween-themed menus during the festival.
Main Street adds projections, pumpkins and an original score
Four new Art Deco stained-glass windows featuring Maleficent and Ursula are coming to the Main Street, U.S.A. station. Town Square adds carved pumpkins and character-shaped candles.
After dark, spectral projections will cover building facades while new banners show Disney Villain silhouettes. Disneyland Paris says the display includes around 40 new pumpkins, 170 new candles and an original musical score.
October 31 runs until 11 p.m.
Disneyland Paris will extend its October 31 operating day until 11 p.m. Disneyland Paris invites guests to wear Halloween costumes that day.
After park closing, “A Nightfall with Disney Villains” will play at Sleeping Beauty Castle before Disney Tales of Magic.
Villains and seasonal character encounters
Cruella, Maleficent, Jafar, the Queen of Hearts and Dr. Facilier are among the villains listed for Disneyland Park. Jack Skellington and Sally will appear in Frontierland. Guests will need to join a virtual queue for those encounters, available primarily through the Disneyland Paris app and subject to availability.
