There's Still Time to Enjoy
Disney's Halloween 2016!

 

 
 
Disney's Halloween is going on now at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea! During this event, the park is all dressed up for Halloween. You can see Mickey and his friends dancing during special events and pick up some limited edition Halloween-themed Disney souvenirs. But you’ll have to hurry-- this event ends October 31st! 

To give you an idea of what’s in store this year, take a look at these can’t-miss attractions!

You can find special Halloween decorations all over the park during this season. From jack-o-lanterns to cobwebs, there's plenty to see (and to take pictures of!)

The main attraction of Halloween at Tokyo Disneyland has got to be their special parade, Halloween Pop’n LIVE. Along the parade route, Mickey and other popular Disney characters give an outstanding musical performance joined by other classic Halloween characters like monsters and skelletons. There are two parades per day, each running about 50 minutes.

There's still lots more Halloween fun to be had even after the parades are finished! For example, you're not going to want to miss Tokyo Disneyland's popular ride Haunted Mansion. Until January 4, 2017, the ride will be transformed to resemble Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas for the special program Haunted Mansion “Holiday Nightmare.” You can see Jack, Zero, and other popular characters from the film.

Tokyo DisneySea: the world of cool and creepy villains 


Meanwhile over at Tokyo DisneySea, your favorite Disney villians are making their appearance in the fantastic Halloween-edition harbor show, The Villains World: Wishes and Desires. The best part is definitely the big finale when the villians show off their power. There are two shows a day, and each runs approximately 25 minutes long.
