Halloween Roundup : Mickey’s Halloween Party at Disneyland

I love this time year and all the fun that Halloween brings. This week I will be featuring all of the local Halloween treats that you do not want to miss! I wanted to kick off our week with Mickey’s Halloween Party.

I had the opportunity to take the family to Mickey’s Halloween Party this past Friday night and let me just say that we had a fantastic time! This year Mickey’s Halloween Party moved from Disney California Adventure to Disneyland. At first, I almost couldn’t believe that this fun party could get any better but guess what? It did!

Disneyland will host Mickey’s Halloween Party every Tuesday and Friday in addition to Halloween Night. It is the one Halloween Event that you do not want to miss. Let me tell you why: First and foremost for the kiddos are the trick or treat stations. They are everywhere! My kiddos were in candy heaven (don’t worry there are healthy treats at most stations). My favorite part of Mickey’s Halloween Party is the special fireworks show.  It is in my opinion the best fireworks show of the year and you can only watch it during Mickey’s Halloween Party. My kids love the dance stations. They are fun for the entire family and the live entertainment will have you dancing the night away.

This year you can also enter the park, three hours before the party begins, allowing for plenty of time to explore the attractions. Mickey’s Halloween Party is also host to two very fun parades. I have to say that my absolute favorite part of the entire night is that the Halloween Party feels exclusive. Because there is a limited number of tickets, it really feels like a private party and that means little to no wait on most rides. There are not that many people around and you are able to enjoy all of the rides without much of a wait. After the fireworks show, we were able to just walk up and ride Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters and Pirates of the Caribbean. We could have done much more but we were tired from all of the dancing and trick or treating.

Mickey’s Halloween Party has become a tradition for our family and we look forward to it each  year. This was our 4th year in a row and in my opinion the best one yet.

    I LOVE your blog but have to disagree with this post! We were there this past Friday too and it was horribly horrible crowded! I was afraid to let DD out of her stroller for fear of losing her! There were huge waits at all the treat stations and it was shoulder-to-shoulder shuffling all the way through the park. Maybe your little ones are holder and could hang longer till the crowds lightened, but mine is only 2 y.o. and was wiped out by 9pm. I love Dland but this is one event I will NEVER pay to attend again!

    Hi Angela, I wonder if it was because we were on separate parts of the park.. I have to we got there at 7 and then headed straight to dinner at Tomorrowland Terrace, we relaxed and took our time strolling through the park and rode Haunted Mansion and danced around. We then watched the fireworks and parade. After the fireworks the park emptied out and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. I think it's maybe because I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old. They were able to hang till 1130.
