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.

For those not familiar with the festival, Oktoberfest. Oktoberfest, annual festival in Munich, Germany, is held over a two-week period and ending on the first Sunday in October. The festival originated on October 12, 1810, in celebration of the marriage of the crown prince of Bavaria, who later became King Louis I, to Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.

Unforgettable Family Holidays in the UK: Discovering Fun, Safety, and Adventure

No comments
Disclosure - This is a collaborative post. 

You all know we love a good family holiday but when I think of planning a family holiday I automatically think of travelling to another country. However the UK is a beautiful country, with so much to enjoy right on our doorstep. Whether you are looking to learn all about its history, take in the stunning landscapes or family-friendly attractions, the UK is a top choice for creating unforgettable memories.

Whatever you are looking for the UK can offer a variety of destinations perfect for families. In this guide, we'll explore some of the best family holiday spots in the UK and share tips on ensuring a safe and stress-free trip including how you can never lose your family car using a car tracking device.

Top Family Holiday Destinations in the UK
Cornwall: Coastal Adventures
Although we have never been to Cornwall, I had to put it top of my list. It's one of the places I really want to visit as soon as possible as it looks stunning with its golden beaches and charming seaside towns, a real paradise for families. Although I'm not a massive fan of the sea I can imagine the boys enjoying surfing lessons in Newquay, whilst John and I explore the mystical Tintagel Castle. Another reason to visit Cornwall would be to visit the Eden Project, home to the world's largest indoor rainforest. For a mix of adventure and relaxation, Cornwall is an ideal choice.

trees and forest


Lake District: Nature's Playground
As regular visitors to The Lake District I can honestly say we never get bored. There is just so much to see and do whether it's enjoying a boat trip on Lake Windermere, hiking through Grizedale Forest or just relaxing in a coffeeshop in Ambleside. The Lake District is ideal for those who enjoy the great outdoors however we always ensure we have lots of ideas for rainy days in the Lakes as the weather is very unpredictable. The scenic beauty and numerous activities, such as kayaking and wildlife spotting, ensure that both kids and adults will have an unforgettable experience.

London: Urban Excitement
Again another city we visit at least once a year is our capital city, London. London has everything you need for a fun holiday that is packed with attractions for families. Visit the interactive exhibits at the Science Museum, enjoy a day out at the London Zoo, or take a ride on the iconic London Eye. There is also nothing better than seeing London's landmarks from the River Thames. Hop on a boat cruise and see the London Eye, Big Ben and St Pauls Cathedral from the comfort of your boat. London's parks, such as Hyde Park and Regent's Park, offer plenty of space for picnics and playtime.

Edinburgh: Historical Wonders
Another city on my 'to visit' list is Edinburgh. Edinburgh combines rich history with vibrant culture. Explore the majestic Edinburgh Castle, walk the Royal Mile, and if you are a fan of Harry Potter like us you can visit the various landmarks that inspired the books. The city's festivals, including the famous Edinburgh Fringe, provide endless entertainment options for families.

The great orme tram


Wales: Adventure and Relaxation
When I was growing up we would visit Wales every year for our annual holiday. My dad would pack up the car and I would watch from the window as we passed stunning landscapes and charming villages. It was like another world and I still get that feeling now everytime we visit. Families can explore Snowdonia National Park, visit the fairy-tale Castell Coch, or relax on the beautiful beaches of Pembrokeshire. The Welsh countryside is perfect for activities like cycling, horse riding, and camping.

Practical Tips for a Smooth Family Holiday
Plan Ahead
Research your destinations and book accommodations in advance. Look for family-friendly hotels and restaurants to ensure everyone's comfort.

Pack Smart
Pack essentials such as first aid kits, snacks, and entertainment for the kids. Don't forget weather-appropriate clothing and comfortable shoes for exploring.

Keep Everyone Involved
Engage the whole family in planning activities. Letting kids have a say in the itinerary can make the trip more enjoyable for everyone.

Stay Flexible
While planning is important, being flexible can help you adapt to unexpected changes, like weather shifts or sudden closures of attractions.

Safety First
Always keep an eye on your belongings, especially in crowded places. While enjoying the many attractions the UK has to offer, ensuring your family's safety and peace of mind is paramount. One crucial aspect is securing your transportation. We use a car tracking device which is perfect for our trips. Knowing you can always locate your car allows you to focus on enjoying your trip rather than worrying about where you parked. On family holidays, the car often becomes a home away from home, storing everything from snacks to souvenirs. Losing your car can quickly turn a dream holiday into a stressful nightmare. 

Family holidays in the UK offer a blend of adventure, education, and relaxation. From the coastal charm of Cornwall to the bustling excitement of London, there's something for every family to enjoy. By planning carefully you can create lasting memories without the stress. So pack your bags, hit the road, and embark on an unforgettable family adventure in the UK!

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.
