What To Expect During Disneyland Paris Halloween Festival

The Disneyland Paris Halloween Festival is one of the most exciting events of the year, and 2024 promises to be bigger and better than ever. Running from 1st October to 3rd November, the park will be filled with spooky decorations, Halloween-inspired music, and, of course, lots of opportunities to meet your favourite Disney characters, villains included!

Disneyland Park

From the moment you step into Disneyland Park, you’ll find yourself surrounded by pumpkins, ghosts, and ghoulish surprises. The streets come alive with spooky fun, with plenty of photo opportunities around every corner. One of our favourite places to capture the Halloween magic is Main Street, U.S.A., which is always decked out with pumpkins, Mickey-inspired decorations, and festive autumn touches.

For any Disney fan, the attention to detail is incredible. The music changes to a more haunting, whimsical tune, making every step through the park feel like you’ve entered a spooky fairytale. The magical atmosphere adds a whole new level of excitement, and whether you’re a seasoned visitor or it's your first time, Halloween at Disneyland Paris will leave you mesmerised.

What Characters Are In Disneyland Paris For Halloween?
Halloween is a special time at Disneyland Paris, as it’s the only season when you can meet some of Disney’s most notorious villains! This year, the wicked Mother Gothel from Tangled is making her debut appearance. It’s such a rare treat to see her, so make sure you don’t miss out!

Villain fans will also be excited to know that Maleficent can be found lurking near Sleeping Beauty Castle. She’s always ready to strike a dramatic pose, making her one of the most popular characters to meet during Halloween. For those who are brave enough, head over to Adventureland where the mischievous Captain Hook will be ready to greet you near the Jolly Roger.

But it’s not all villains! Keep an eye out for some of Disney’s fun-loving characters who are also getting in on the Halloween fun. Chip, Dale, and Goofy are part of the Mischief Makers, and their antics will have everyone laughing. Whether it’s their playful banter or cheeky pranks, meeting them is sure to put a smile on your face.

Mickey's Halloween Celebration
No trip to Disneyland Paris would be complete without catching a parade, and during Halloween, Mickey’s Halloween Celebration takes centre stage. This lively parade features all your favourite characters dressed in their Halloween best, with the Mischief Makers leading the way.

The floats are beautifully decorated, and the music will have everyone tapping their feet. It’s a family favourite and perfect for capturing the magic of Halloween at Disneyland. Make sure to grab a spot early for the best view of this festive parade!

Nightfall With Disney Villains
As the sun sets and the evening begins, Disneyland Paris takes the spooky atmosphere up a notch with Nightfall with Disney Villains. This special event transforms Sleeping Beauty Castle with projections, music, and fountains for a spectacularly eerie experience. It’s a thrilling part of the Halloween Festival and one of those "must-see" moments if you’re visiting the park during the Halloween season.

Disney Electrical Sky Parade
For 2024, there’s an exclusive Halloween twist to the Disney Electrical Sky Parade. Villains take control of the show, with their own unique projections and drone displays, offering a chilling prelude to the Disney Illuminations. Seeing the sky light up with Disney magic and spooky Halloween elements is the perfect way to end your day at the park.

Hollywood Studios

Over at Walt Disney Studios Park, things get even spookier as evil villains and mischievous characters take over. From 1st October, the Studio Theatre will be the place to be for a spooky encounter with Disney’s most rebellious villains. It’s an experience that’s not for the faint-hearted, but for those who love a good fright, it’s absolutely worth a visit.

The Tower Of Terror
One of the highlights at Walt Disney Studios Park during Halloween is the iconic Tower of Terror. The haunted hotel offers a spine-chilling ride experience that will have your heart racing. The eerie atmosphere, combined with the surprises that await on the upper floors, makes it a Halloween favourite. Just remember, you never know what might happen in that rickety old lift!

As well as all the spooky shenanigans you can enjoy all your favourite rides. 

Tips for Making the Most of Halloween at Disneyland Paris

If you’re planning to visit Disneyland Paris during Halloween, here are a few tips to make sure you get the most out of your spooky adventure:

Plan Ahead
Before your visit, make sure to check the Disneyland Paris website for the most up-to-date information on opening times, ride closures, and any special events happening during your stay. This way, you can plan your days and avoid any surprises.

Get Your Spot for the Parade Early
Mickey’s Halloween Celebration is incredibly popular, so find a good viewing spot along the parade route well before it starts to ensure you don’t miss any of the magic.

Dress for the Occasion
While it’s not mandatory, wearing Halloween-themed outfits or costumes (in line with park guidelines) can make your experience even more fun. Plus, it’s a great way to get into the spirit of the season!

Capture the Magic
Halloween at Disneyland Paris is a photographer’s dream. With so many unique decorations and character meet-and-greets, make sure your camera or phone is fully charged so you can capture all the memories.

There’s something truly magical about Disneyland Paris during Halloween. Whether it’s the eerie decorations, the chance to meet your favourite Disney villains, or the spectacular shows, every part of the park is filled with spooky fun and Disney magic. If you’re looking for a Halloween getaway that combines fun, excitement, and a little bit of fright, Disneyland Paris is the place to be this spooky season. It’s the perfect family-friendly destination, offering memories that will last long after the Halloween decorations come down.

Visiting Tivoli Gardens As Part Of Your City Break To Copenhagen

No comments
*affiliate links 

You know we love a good theme park. However except for visiting Disney parks we have never visited a theme park outside of the UK. When we were planning our Copenhagen trip I knew we would all love to visit Tivoli Gardens. Tivoli is included in the Copenhagen Card and the amusement park has inspired many over the years, including Walt Disney, who visited the park before creating Disneyland. With so much history and amazing rides visiting Tivoli gardens as part of your city break to Copenhagen is a must!

What To Expect At Tivoli Gardens

Tivoli is right in the heart of Copenhagen which makes this park unique as it's in the middle of the city. It's just across the road from Copenhagens main train station and was a 5 minute walk from the hotel we stayed in, Profilhotels Mercur.

The amusement park offers something for everyone whether you like rides, strolling around gardens, watching shows or playing carnival type games. We loved the park during the day however when the night falls Tivoli becomes something even more magical with twinkling lights across the park.

Must-Do Experiences in Tivoli

Tivoli is much more than just an amusement park; it’s an experience. Here are some of the must-do activities that you shouldn't miss during your visit.

Stroll Through the Gardens
Before you dive into the rides and attractions, take a leisurely stroll through Tivoli’s beautifully landscaped gardens. The park offers a variety of flowers, trees, and water features that create a serene and enchanting environment. The gardens are dotted with picturesque pavilions, fountains, and sculptures, making it the perfect place to relax and soak in the atmosphere. During the evening, the entire park is illuminated with thousands of twinkling lights, adding to the magical ambiance.

Experience the Rides
Tivoli offers a mix of rides, from the gentle to the adrenaline-pumping, catering to all ages. If you’re an adventure enthusiast, the Dæmonen (The Demon) is a must-ride. This roller coaster reaches speeds of up to 77 km/h and features loops and twists that will get your heart racing. For something more nostalgic, hop on Rutschebanen, one of the world’s oldest wooden roller coasters, which has been thrilling visitors since 1914. It’s a ride that perfectly captures the charm of Tivoli, blending tradition with excitement. 

For a bird’s eye view of Copenhagen, take a spin on the Star Flyer or Fatamorgana , offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city. 

If you’re visiting with young children, the Flying Trunk is a delightful ride that takes you through scenes from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales.

Catch a Show
Tivoli is not just about rides; it’s also offers a variety of live performances. The Pantomime Theatre is a unique attraction, offering traditional pantomime shows with no dialogue, where the story is told through mime, dance, and music. The theatre itself is an architectural gem, designed in the style of a Chinese pagoda.

During the summer months, Tivoli’s open-air stage hosts concerts and performances by international artists, as well as the Tivoli Youth Guard’s parades and concerts. The Tivoli Concert Hall is another venue where you can enjoy classical music, ballet, and contemporary performances. Be sure to check the schedule ahead of your visit to see what’s on.

Indulge in the Culinary Delights
Tivoli is home to a wide range of dining options, from casual eateries to gourmet restaurants. If you’re looking for a quick bite, try the traditional Danish smørrebrød at one of the park’s cafes. 

During your visit, make sure to indulge in some traditional Danish pastries from Vaffelbageriet, a beloved institution in Tivoli. The freshly made waffles, served with ice cream and jam, are a treat you won’t want to miss.

Explore Tivoli’s Seasonal Events
Tivoli is a year-round destination, with each season bringing its own unique charm. In spring, the gardens come alive with blooming flowers, while summer offers long days and warm nights perfect for outdoor concerts and rides. Autumn transforms Tivoli into a Halloween wonderland, with pumpkins, spooky decorations, and themed events. If you’re visiting during the winter, Tivoli’s Christmas market is a must-see. The park is transformed into a winter wonderland, with festive lights, holiday decorations, and cozy stalls selling mulled wine, Christmas ornaments, and gifts.

Tips for Visiting Tivoli

To make the most of your visit to Tivoli, here are some helpful tips:

Timing
Arrive early to avoid the crowds, especially during the peak summer months. If you prefer a more romantic and magical experience, visit in the evening when the park is beautifully lit up. We visited just the two of us one evening and it really is magical and we were able to watch the illuminations on the water. It was such a different experience than during the day. 

Plan Your Day
We planned a full day at Tivoli and we thought that was plenty of time. We could have easily done another day. We did everything we wanted however we didn't have time for re-rides which was a shame. Time seemed to fly past so quickly.

Ride Passes
You can enjoy Tivoli without buying their ride pass however if you’re planning to go on several rides, it’s worth buying an unlimited ride pass. The pass is in the form of a wristband that you scan on the entrance to the ride and it allows you to enjoy as many rides as you like without worrying about individual ticket costs.

Lockers
Tivoli has lockers available for rent if you need to store your belongings. They are located at the main entrance area so easily accessible during the day.  

Carnival Games
We had lots of fun playing the carnival style games where you collect tokens to claim prizes should you win. It was lots of fun however we did get a little carried away as you can pay on card so make sure you stick to your budget!

Tivoli on the Copenhagen Card

One of the best ways to explore Copenhagen is with the Copenhagen Card, which offers free entry to over 80 attractions including Tivoli Gardens. The card is a great value for money, as it includes public transport and access to many of the city's top sights. With the Copenhagen Card, you can enjoy the beautiful gardens, the unique architecture, and the vibrant atmosphere of Tivoli at no additional cost. However, if you're in the mood for some thrilling rides, you can easily purchase a ride pass separately.

We absolutely loved our visit to Tivoli and we are so glad we planned it in to our trip. Seeing Tivoli both during the day and at night is a must and I'm glad we got to experience both. If you do like theme parks then I would definitely recommend a visit, you won't be disappointed.

Accessible Theme Parks In The UK

No comments
Disclosure - This is a collaborative post 

As a theme park and a rollercoaster loving family we visit a wide range of UK theme parks each year. Our love of thrill rides is growing each year and as the boys get older we are trying to cram as much in to our days as we can. The days can be long and tough on the legs and as we get older I have often wondered just how long we can continue to visit theme parks as they can be quite a challenge even to those fit and well. It does make me think are the theme parks we visit accessible to all especially those who have limited mobility, use a wheelchair or need to use stair lifts when at home. I have done some research and here are our top 8 accessible themes parks in the UK.

What's New At Alton Towers For 2024

No comments
Excitement is building among theme park enthusiasts as parks across the UK gear up to open this month. Although Alton Towers had limited rides open during half term in February, the park officially opens on March 16th, heralding the start of the 2024 season. Boasting not only a theme park, but also CBeebies Land, World of David Walliams, accommodation options, a waterpark, and an 18-hole golf course, Alton Towers Resort is the ideal destination for a day visit or a weekend getaway. As the new season dawns, anticipation is high for what Alton Towers has in store for its guests in 2024.

Nemesis Reborn
Nemesis, the popular ride at Alton Towers Resort, had remained closed throughout 2023 after shutting down at the end of 2022. However, visitors to the park were thrilled to watch the installation of new tracks throughout the year, with most of them being black and red in colour. In May 2023, Nemesis Sub Terra reopened with the return of the Phalanx, who had closed down Nemesis in the previous year. The anticipation around the reopening of Nemesis Reborn is sky-high, and Alton Towers Resort has confirmed that Nemesis Reborn will open its doors to the public on 16th March 2024. Though visitors can't wait to get back on Nemesis, they're anticipating long queues. Will the ride be the same as before, or will there be some exciting surprises in store? Only time will tell.

Bluey at CBeebies Land
There's a new friend coming to CBeebies Land this year and it's Bluey the very popular blue heeler dog. Bluey can be found every day in CBeebies Land for a meet and greet from 23rd March 2024. Bluey is very popular amongst little ones so you won't want to miss him. 

10 Years of CBeebies Land
I remember when CBeebies Land First opened. Our youngest was only one and as we are all theme park crazy he had already visited Alton Towers a few times by then. CBeebies Land brought a whole new burst of colour and fun to the park and is great for little ones to enjoy rides but also meet their favourite CBeebies Characters. As it's CBeebies Land 10th Birthday you can expect to lots of live entertainment, activities and special meet and greets to celebrate. More information coming soon.

Events
While some events have unfortunately been cancelled this year, including Festival of Thrills and one of our favourites Mardi Gras, Alton Towers has confirmed that Oktoberfest, Scarefest, Fireworks, and Christmas will go ahead as planned. Visitors can enjoy a variety of seasonal activities and entertainment throughout the year, making Alton Towers a year-round destination for fun and excitement.

If you're planning a visit to Alton Towers this year, be sure to check out all the latest updates and information on their website. With so much to see and do, the 2024 season promises to be the most exciting one yet. So pack your bags, grab your tickets, and get ready for a thrilling adventure at Alton Towers.
