GUIDE: Halloween Time Characters at the Disneyland Resort

Halloween Time has taken over the Disneyland Resort. Throughout The Happiest Place on Earth, decorations can be found, merchandise can be bought, seasonal food can be eaten, and characters can be met! During Halloween Time, many characters get their best spirited outfits on when they meet with guests. Other characters seemingly materialize from somewhere unknown to meet with guests throughout the season. Below is a look at the variety of characters that can be met during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort.

During Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif., running Aug. 21 through Oct. 31, 2026, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and their pals will greet guests in Town Square in Disneyland park with new attire just for the season, featuring harlequin motifs, frilled collars and cuffs and swirling confection details in hues of orange, yellow and black.

Main Street, USA

On Main Street, USA, Mickey and friends are dressed in their new Halloween costumes for Halloween Time. They greet guests throughout the day as they visit Town Square. Here is a look at the characters who are meeting in their Halloween costumes in Town Square:

  • Mickey Mouse
  • Minnie Mouse
  • Goofy
  • Pluto
  • Donald Duck
  • Daisy Duck

At 12:15 PM each day, they all join the Disneyland Band for the March Along Main Street. This magical moment starts at Sleeping Beauty Castle. The Disneyland Band marches through the gate and across the bridge to perform for guests. They are followed by Mickey and friends. They then march down Main Street, USA with guests in tow. Ultimately, they end in Town Square, where they perform for a few minutes in front of the train station.

Mickey & Friends then appear in the Mickey & Friends Halloween Time Cavalcade at 1:30 PM and then 2:45 PM along the parade route. The first cavalcade begins near it’s a small world and makes its way to Main Street, USA, and Town Square. The second cavalcade reverses course and goes the opposite direction. This is another great way to see Mickey and the gang in their Halloween costumes without having to wait in line.
