It’s Halloween time 2024 at Disneyland Resort

Category: Activities, Performances, & Events

Yes, it is early but people absolutely love all the Halloween activities and experiences at the Disneyland Resort. The usual Halloween festivities and decorations again greet guests of all ages at the resort. And, let’s not forget about all the delicious food concocted by the fabulous chefs at the resort.

Families will especially enjoy the Plaza de la Familia at Disney California Adventure. There are things to do and see, and little guests have plenty of fun with the activities, especially with Miguel from Coco.

The spirit of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) celebrates our family members who are no longer with us. This is a sentimental yet inspirational tradition.

Guests get a photo opportunity with Miguel, experience live Mexican entertainment as well as storytelling. With colorful costumes, décor, music, dining options, and crafts, this area of Disney California Adventure is alive with the spirit of the holiday.  And don’t forget to pick up a special souvenir of the event.

“The Storytellers of Plaza de la Familia Celebrate The Musical World of Coco!” perform songs  from the show including “Remember Me” and “The World Es Mi Familia,” as well as the classic Mexican folk song, “La Llorona.” 

The traveling group of storytellers bring the bonds of family to guests through music and dance. This is indeed a family activity that will be remembered long after leaving the resort.

Crafts for the entire family provide a nice way for kids and parents to celebrate the season, and there are plenty of photo-opportunities, not lease of which is the Árbol de la Vida (Tree of Life) with its artistic branches.  And, like years past, the Memory Wall lets guest pass notes to their loved ones who have passed on.

Guests also get the opportunity to design their own paper mask of Pepita or Dante.  And when they are ready to explore other areas of the resort, guests can stop by the “Remember Me” mural for a photo with little Miguel. 

Cars Land is also decorated for the season as are the streets and buildings over in Disneyland itself.
