Disneyland Halloween Tips for 2023 🎃 PUMPKIN PICTURE HACK – The line for the Mickey Pumpkin on Main Street lasts day and night and can take a while, even if it looks short. If you don’t want to wait, you can snap a photo of it north of the flag pole. You’ll be further back, but you can still get a memorable photo! Just wait until the moment between parties taking their photos next to the pumpkin. 🍿 HALLOWEEN POPCORN BUCKETS – The Nightmare Mayor Car and Mickey Skeleton Buckets are very popular this year! They’re around $32 each and sell out fast. • The Nightmare Before Christmas Mayor’s Car Bucket Locations: Popcorn cart near Haunted Mansion and New Orleans Square Outdoor Vending Cart (Disneyland) & Popcorn near Carthay Circle Restaurant, Popcorn at Grizzly Peak Airfield, Popcorn at Pixar Pier, and Outdoor Vending (Disney California Adventure) • Mickey Mouse Skeleton Bucket Locations: Various popcorn carts throughout Disneyland park and not available at Disney California Adventure. 🕷️ MEETING HALLOWEEN CHARACTERS – The Fab Five and their friends meet on Main Street, U.S.A., throughout the day. Characters usually appear near the hub on Main Street, and you also may see them all together at the start and end of the day on the steps of the railroad station. Jack and Sally meet guests next to Pieces of Eight in New Orleans Square. 💥 GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY: MONSTERS AFTER DARK – Two versions of the ride show throughout the day. The original version, Mission: BREAKOUT!, runs from open until 2 pm. The ride takes a break for about an hour and returns as Monsters After Dark at 3 pm. In this version, guests help Rocket find Baby Groot as alien monsters roam the building. It’s an entirely new experience and worth checking out both! Guests with Genie+ can book each version of the ride; just look on the Tip Board in the Disneyland app. Disneyland posts warnings that this version may be too scary for kids. 👻 HAUNTED MANSION HOLIDAY – The Nightmare Before Christmas overlay returns from Sept 1 through early Jan 2024! During this season, it’s one of the most popular rides in the park. I highly recommend riding the attraction at the start of the day as lines can grow very long #disneylandhalloween #hauntedmansion #disneyland #disneyparks #spookyseason #halloween #disneycaliforniaadventure #guardiansofthegalaxy #greenscreen
