Those treats add to the family-friendly thrills, popular seasonal attractions and spooky decor that make Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort so magical. The season runs from Friday, Sept. 9, through Monday, Oct. 31, offering the popular Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy attractions, themed foods and merchandise, plus spirited decor that features a giant Mickey Mouse jack-'o-lantern on Main Street, U.S.A.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror Final Check-out Celebration at Disney California Adventure Park

The invitation to check into the Hollywood Tower Hotel is even more urgent now as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror approaches its final check-out date, Jan. 2, 2017. A special tribute begins Sept. 9 to salute the haunted hotel's eerie story and exciting adventure at Disney California Adventure Park. During the celebration, guests who arrive after twilight will enjoy "Late Check-Out"–-a chance to venture beyond the fifth dimension into complete darkness.  It's something guests have never experienced before: free-falling in the attraction's haunted elevator shaft with all the lights out.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror celebration also includes special musical performances, commemorative merchandise and specialty food and beverage items. Performing at the Hollywood Tower Hotel are the Silver Lake Sisters, characters from the story of this famous hotel who once performed at its rooftop lounge. The sisters make their return to the Hollywood Hotel during Halloween season.

Spooky Halloween Traditions at Disneyland Park

Throughout the Halloween season, guests will find special treats and thrilling traditions.  Haunted Mansion Holiday returns to celebrate the collision between Halloween and Christmas, and a familiar guest moves into the Mansion: Jack Skellington from the Walt Disney Pictures classic "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas."

• Jack Skellington brings a unique spark to the season and, for the first time, his friend Sally joins him in the Mansion graveyard.
• The annual Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house is back with a new theme. This year's version appears to have been stitched together from pieces of other gingerbread houses and treats. In fact, the ghoulish architect has stitched himself inside the house, and one green arm still may be spotted, sewing the walls together around him.
• Another Halloween favorite is Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, a Halloween-themed reimagining of the popular thrill ride in Tomorrowland, at Disneyland. Guests on board the speeding Space Mountain vehicles are thrust into a ghostly galaxy where they are bombarded with eerie screams, sound effects and music. Spine-chilling spirits pop out of the darkness, appearing to reach out to menace the space travelers.
• The traditional Mexican celebration, "Dia de los Muertos," is observed with a skeleton display in Frontierland, near Rancho del Zocalo restaurant.
• As a special, after-dark treat during the Halloween season, guests visiting Disneyland on select nights will enjoy the "Fantasy in the Sky" fireworks spectacular.
• During the day, the dynamic "Mickey's Soundsational Parade" marches down Main Street, U.S.A., throughout Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort.

Mickey's Halloween Party

New this year at Mickey's Halloween Party is the premiere of the "Frightfully Fun Parade," seen exclusively on the 17 nights of this separately ticketed event at Disneyland.

• The Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow (from the Disney animated classic "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad") brings a warning to guests, riding through the park on his ghostly black steed with a flickering jack-'o-lantern.
• Shortly afterward, the parade begins with greetings from Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King from Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas."
• Grim, grinning (and hitchhiking) ghosts follow along in the procession, joined by other spirits from the iconic Haunted Mansion attraction.
• Inspired by Disney's "The Princess and the Frog," the creepy Dr. Facilier calls on mystical powers, summoning his Shadow Men from the bayou to loom large over his strange and twisted Voodoo parlor.
• Mischievous Disney villains appear out of the darkness, ready to stir up some trouble, and their wicked gathering includes the Evil Queen, Jafar and Cruella.

Mickey's Halloween Party guests are invited to visit in costume and trick-or-treat throughout Disneyland for candy and healthy snacks. An extra special treat is the "Halloween Screams" fireworks spectacular, presented exclusively for guests of Mickey's Halloween Party and hosted by "Master of Scare-omonies" Jack Skellington.
