It’s the first day of fall! Which means summer is on the way out and there’s a certain chill in the air … no, for reals, it actually feels like fall here in Southern California. We even had some RAIN yesterday. Anyway, The Disneyland Resort has been celebrating Halloweentime and fall for about a week now, and I’m totally ready for all the spooky Mickey things. If you’re planning to visit Disneyland soon, it’s time to start celebrating all things pumpkin – both spice and jack-o-lantern varieties – and this Halloweentime and Fall Disneyland checklist should help you do just that!

There are many exciting activities and decor that are special to The Disneyland Resort during the months of September and October. Not to mention the food … oh my goodness, the food! Disney food is an attraction in itself which is why it deserves it’s own special list.

Below you’ll find my numbered list of over 80 activities and food items not to miss at The Disneyland Resort this fall, and if you’re visiting the park be sure to grab the printable checklist version of the list to take with you!

Items listed are from prior Halloweentime events and information listed on Disneyland’s website; all info is subject to change or not be available without notice.
