Disneyland Resort Shows a Spooky Disney Side for Halloween Time!

The Happiest Place on Earth Celebrates Halloween Time 2014, Sept. 12 through Oct. 31

ANAHEIM, Calif., Sept. 12, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is a one-of-a-kind celebration of chilling, family friendly fun. From Friday, Sept. 12, through Friday, Oct. 31, guests will explore their spooky Disney Side with special Halloween transformations of Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain; encounter Disney villains conjured by a magic cauldron; dance to the Mad T Party band and meet Mickey Mouse and his friends in Halloween costumes.

Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort: From Sept. 12 through Oct. 31, 2014, families and friends will celebrate Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort as they interact with some of Disney's most beloved characters decked out in seasonal costumes. Even the Disney villains get into the "spirit" of the celebration at Disneyland Park. Guests also will enjoy Haunted Mansion Holiday and a scary adventure at Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy. Mickey's Halloween Party, a special ticketed event, will run for 14 nights including October 31. (Paul Hiffmeyer/Disneyland)

An additional Halloween Time highlight is the separate-ticket, after-hours Mickey's Halloween Party, where adults and children show their Disney Side by dressing in costumes, trick-or-treating at Disneyland Park and enjoying an array of special entertainment, including the exclusive "Halloween Screams" fireworks spectacular.

New to Halloween Time at Disneyland this year are the latest twists at Haunted Mansion Holiday and additional entertainment experiences at the Halloween Carnival at Big Thunder Ranch, with more mysterious fun joining the Astounding Cauldron of Magic.

Spooky Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland is one of the guest favorites during Halloween Time. The unique Halloween-themed experience begins as a typical Space Mountain adventure, but suddenly launches voyagers into a haunted section of the universe. Ghosts appear out of the starry darkness and swirling galaxies of Space Mountain, reaching out as if to grab guests as they speed through space. The exhilarating drops and curves are punctuated by piercing screams, creepy sound effects and haunting music.

Jack Skellington returns to Disneyland to take over the Haunted Mansion and brings Haunted Mansion Holiday back to New Orleans Square. Transformed with a mix of Halloween spookiness and Christmas cheer, Haunted Mansion Holiday is inspired by the classic animated film "Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas." 

Guests find new surprises within the Mansion every Halloween, including the 2014 Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house. This year's creepy creation adds a little whimsy with a hapless gingerbread zombie who is trapped inside – surrounded by frightening spikes that are very sharp, red-and-white candy canes. This is the 14th original gingerbread design since Haunted Mansion Holiday debuted in 2001. The design also features opening and closing doors and special lights.

In addition to Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy:

In Disney California Adventure Park, Halloween Time offers frightful fun for guests of all ages, with favorite attractions such as The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, where a "supernatural" event happened on Halloween evening 1939, 75 years ago, forever haunting the building with spine-tingling fun. Also at Disney California Adventure, the nighttime Mad T Party in Hollywood Land gets some new Halloween spice. Tweedledee and Tweedledum welcome guests as the Mad Hatter offers some devilishly delicious All Hallows Eve fun featuring new Halloween music and a chilling new look for Mad T Party band.

Mickey's Halloween Party, a separate-ticket event* for trick-or-treating families, expands to  14 special, spooky nights in Disneyland. Highlights of Mickey's Halloween Party include:
