The Halloween Events at Disney's theme parks are varied as the locations. Usually held between mid-September and early November running through the Halloween season. In all cases, Mickey, Minnie, and other athmosphere characters have worn special Halloween-themed costumes.

Disneyland Resort

At Disneyland Park, Halloween Time features the "Haunted Mansion Holiday" overlay at The Haunted Mansion, and starting in 2006, the main theme park was decorated with pumpkins, including a 12-foot Jack O'Lantern shaped like Mickey Mouse in front of Main Street USA and smaller pumpkins around the Walt Disney-Mickey Mouse "Partners" Statue representing each of the theme lands with a character from Disney or Pixar canon. Fantasyland is represented by Tinker Bell, New Orleans Square by Jack Skellington, Tomorrowland by Buzz Lightyear, Frontierland by Woody, Critter Country by Winnie the Pooh, Toontown by Roger Rabbit and Adventureland by Jack Sparrow.

At Disney's California Adventure, a seperate admission event, "Mickey's Halloween Treat" is held allowing guests to dress up in costume and go trick-or-treating for candy supplied by Masterfoods and Nestle at stations manned by costumed cast members. In addition, the "Golden Dreams" theatre hosts an all-villain show called "Golden Screams". This event was moved from Disneyland Park in 2005 to DCA after an hiatus.

Walt Disney World

At the Magic Kingdom, a seperate admission event called "Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party" features Mickey's Boo To You Parade, featuring a pre-parade ride by the Headless Horseman, a stage show featuring Disney's villans, other character meet and greets, dance parties with Stitch in Tomorrowland and Fantasyland characters at Ariel's Grotto, trick-and-treating featuring a trail on the bridge between Mickey's Toontown Fair and Tomorrowland based on Alice in Wonderland's called "Alice and Mad Hatter's Treat Party" and a Halloween-themed fireworks show titled "Happy Hallowishes: A Grim Grinning Ghosts Spooktacular in the Sky", based on the Haunted Mansion attraction. Like Halloween Time at DCA, guests are encouraged to dress up in costume and join in the fun.

Disneyland Resort Paris

Since 2005, the theme of the Halloween events has been a battle between pumpkinmen trying to paint the main park orange and pink witches freezing most of them. In 2006, Stitch of Lilo and Stitch fame was added as the central character of the activities, which have included truning Frontierland into "Halloweenland", stage shows and parades as well as a seperate hard-ticket event on October 31st. Plans for the 2007 events include Stitch taking over the "Once Upon A Dream" parade, the villains over at Frontierland/Halloweenland and a new stage show featuring a battle between the Pumpkin Men and the Pink Witches in which the audience decides the winner.

Tokyo Disneyland

Every year, Tokyo Disneyland has a new themed Halloween Parade and other events. In 2007, the reopening of The Haunted Mansion will be the centerpiece and theme of this year's activities.

Hong Kong Disneyland

The first Halloween events at Hong Kong Disneyland in 2006 was a mini-parade with the characters in costume, a band and dancers. An expanded schedule is planned for 2007.
