The Trick-or-Treat Party event requires a separate ticket. No charge for children under 2. You may get more information and purchase online at the Mickey’s Trick-or-Treat Party page, or call 714-781-4400.
HALLOWEEN TIME TRICKS & TREATS: Disneyland offers special Halloween merrchandise for sale, including collectible pins, costumes based on your favorite Disney and Pixar characters, pumpkin-head mouse ears, candy baskets, and more. Seasonal food is available in the form of Gingerbrad Pumpkin Cooies, Cream Topped Pumpkin Muffins, and Pumpkin King Mousse Tarts.
HALLOWEEN TIME DRAWBACKS: This is basically a Halloween opportunity for parents with children who don’t want to be too frightened. Although fun, Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion is not really scary; the Tower of Terror may be terrifying, but it is basically a thrill ride, not a traditional Halloween attraction. So it’s not exactly what most enthusiasts expect from a Halloween attraction. Still, you can console yourself with a trip on the Pirates of the Caribbean.
