Check In for 2026 Halloween Time and Fall Fun at Disneyland Resort Hotels

Celebrate everything you love about fall: the autumn colors, crisp sweater weather, pumpkin spices, and Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort! With all of the festivities in Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park, it’s the perfect season for a getaway to the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort, where immersive seasonal décor, themed character dining, and heartwarming activities await the whole family.

From Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa to the Disneyland Hotel and Pixar Place Hotel, each distinctive property brings Halloween Time to life in its own frightfully delightful way.

Whether you’re checking in for a stay or visiting for the day, there’s plenty to enjoy at each of these three Disneyland Resort hotels, while select offerings and benefits are available expressly for overnight guests.

For something downright monstrous, Pixar Place Hotel has all-new seasonal artwork featuring Mike, Sulley, Boo, and their pals from Disney and Pixar’s Monsters, Inc.

For a closer look at these bright and playfully bold designs, check out this Disney Parks Blog feature on Disney Artist Brett Snodgrass and learn how he helped bring this monster-sized overlay to life!

Welcome foolish mortals to the Disneyland Hotel, where you can see Haunted Mansion-inspired displays featuring the four doomed souls from the stretching room, and pose for a photo dead center of the menacing wrought iron gates.

This is Halloween… Town! Be amazed by this year’s frightfully festive confection at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, where Jack Skellington, Sally, and Zero are sculpted on Spiral Hill, along with Oogie Boogie and the Mayor, inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The hotel’s talented pastry team spent more than 800 hours bringing this creation to life, fit for the Pumpkin King himself.

Over at the Disneyland Hotel near Goofy’s Kitchen, you’ll find a sweet, 5-foot confectionery of a darling Mickey Mouse pumpkin. Can you spy all 13 hidden Mickeys?

Fall has arrived at Storytellers Cafe at Disney’s Grand Californian, where you can enjoy breakfast or brunch at Mickey’s Autumn Adventures, and the evening at Clarabelle’s Enchanted Halloween Dinner.

Goofy’s Kitchen Celebrates Halloween with a boo-tiful breakfast, brunch, and dinner buffet at the Disneyland Hotel.

All of the characters’ festive outfits are just adorable!

Advanced reservations are highly recommended for character dining experiences. Check Disneyland.com for availability.

There’s also spookily scrumptious seasonal menu items at other hotel dining locations including The Sketch Pad Café at Pixar Place Hotel, GCH Craftsman Grill, and the Great Hall Cart at Disney’s Grand Californian to name just a few.

At Tenaya Stone Spa at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, our talented team of Disney salon stylists can transform your Halloween look with hair, makeup, or nails into designs inspired by classic Disney characters.

For a luxuriating treat, the Wicked to the Core foot treatment features a warm foot soak with aromas of rich and creamy caramel followed by an exfoliating candy apple sugar scrub.

Treatments and salon services are an additional fee. Learn more about offerings and bookings at Disneyland.com.

What’s also special and distinctively Disney are the complimentary hotel activities just for overnight guests including movie nights, Learn to Draw and Washcloth Creation classes, and more.

There’s also a complimentary Halloween Time Treat Trail with trick-or-treating for Disneyland Resort hotel guests where the Front Desk will provide a wristband, goodie guide, and treat bag. So fun!

Plus, a professional pumpkin carver will give demonstrations on select dates from October 13-31, 2026, at the Disneyland Hotel. Hotel guests can get in on the fun by decorating faux pumpkins on select weekdays in October at Disneyland Hotel and Pixar Place Hotel.

A year-round favorite is listening to live jazz piano music performed by Joe Gardner from Pixar’s Soul at Pixar Place Hotel, where in his lobby alcove, he is surrounded by deep purple walls picturing his fellow jazz musicians from The Half Note.

Be sure to see the current activity and entertainment schedule when you arrive, so you don’t miss a thing!

Pro tip: During your stay, you can ask the hotel Front Desk for a schedule of hotel activities.
