At the world's first Zootopia-themed land, which opened last year, visitors can enjoy the first Zootopia "Howl-o-ween" celebration, featuring wolf-howling sessions and the lively "Howl-o-ween Party Time." Guests are encouraged to bring their favorite plush toys to dance along to high-energy music spun by a DJ, creating a festive atmosphere.

Halloween celebrations extend throughout the park, with the main activities having run last weekend (Oct. 25-26) and continuing this Thursday through Saturday (Oct. 31-Nov. 2). These dates give visitors more opportunities to participate in costume events across the park’s designated party zones.

The Halloween parade "Donald's Halloween Treat Cavalcade" marches through the park twice daily, featuring Donald Duck and other Disney characters in special Halloween costumes. Guests can also meet Disney villains at various locations throughout the park, including several new character greeting spots.

At the Pepsi E-Stage in Tomorrowland, visitors can enjoy "The Villains Club" show featuring music, dancers and special appearances by Cruella de Vil and Gaston. Meanwhile, from Oct. 11 to Nov. 7, the "Coco"-themed area in Adventure Isle returns, inviting guests to sing along with Miguel from the Pixar film. Traditional favorites like "Treasure Cove Ghost Pirates: 'A Trial of Darkness’" continue alongside new additions to the "Villain Balcony Walk," featuring Dr. Facilier, Lady Tremaine and her daughters.

The park's regular evening fireworks spectacular, "Illuminate! A Nighttime Celebration," is followed by a special Halloween transformation of the Disney castle. By utilizing projection technology, the castle transforms into a Halloween spectacle featuring a stunning display of Disney villains.

Despite rain during the opening weekend on Oct. 25-26, costumed guests filled the park. Attendance is expected to increase Oct. 31-Nov. 2 with better weather conditions forecasted.

During the festive season, the resort is offering Halloween-themed toys, merchandise, and devilishly delicious food and drinks.

The excitement continues in Disneytown with classic experiences such as listening to the spellbinding tales from Lost Souls performers, greeting the roguish Magic Mirror installation, enjoying The Ghost Band's bewitching music, and joining the "Frightfully Fun Dance Party."

For extra spooky fun, children can get their faces painted during the Disneytown Halloween Tour — just in time for the Trick-or-Treat Parade — or explore the Halloween Market for tempting snacks and goods.
