The Halloween season is wickedly wonderful as Tokyo Disneyland celebrates with a brand-new daytime parade —and this time Disney Villains are taking center stage!
From October 1 through November 7, Maleficent, Jafar, Ursula, Cruella De Vil and more Disney Villains are putting on a wicked performance during “The Villains’ Halloween ‘Into the Frenzy.’” Not only can you catch some of the most powerful villains during this glamorous extravaganza, Mickey and Friends are joining too.
The floats will make their way through the park with three stops at the Westernland and Fantasyland area, the Plaza, and again in the Tomorrowland and Toontown area. Each stop begins with a welcoming performance by the villains, including music and dancing for all. Our fiendish foes also have a grand finale in store for this villainous gathering — complete with devious special effects. It’s just the bit of chaos we know and loathe!
The bone-chilling fun doesn’t end there at Tokyo Disney Resort. Here are five more reasons you won’t want to miss this wickedly cool celebration.
1. Fan-Favorite Entertainment Returns
Not only is there a frightfully fabulous parade debuting this year, Tokyo Disney Resort is home to more Halloween entertainment you won’t want to miss. Returning once again, Mickey and Friends can be found in “Disney Halloween Greeting” at Mediterranean Harbor in Tokyo DisneySea and the spectacular fireworks show, “Night High Halloween,” is taking over the sky at both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
2. Devilishly Delightful Décor
It’s the season of Disney Villains and they’re making it known! Over at Tokyo Disneyland, find devilishly delightful décor adorned with thorns and drapery. The Mickey flower bed also has a new Halloween-themed look, and once again, Toontown is decked out in pumpkins and ghosts.
Tokyo DisneySea has received a bit of Halloween flair, too, over at the Mediterranean Harbor and American Waterfront. Don’t be fooled by the festive and lively atmosphere during the day, though! As night settles in and the jack-o’-lanterns illuminate, a dark and eerie ambience will take over.
3. The Pumpkin King Takes Over Haunted Mansion
Did you know Haunted Mansion at Tokyo Disneyland undergoes a seasonal transformation? Yes, that’s right! You can find Jack, Sally, Zero and more from Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” starting September 19, 2024 to January 13, 2025 in Haunted Mansion “Holiday Nightmare.”
4. Taste the Flavors of the Season
Although we know pumpkin as the flavor of fall, did you know that in Japan it’s more common to find sweet potato as the seasonal highlight? Give this traditional autumnal flavor a try in the new Halloween Sundae at Liberty Landing Diner in Tokyo DisneySea.
For those looking to satisfy their pumpkin cravings, you can find Mickey Mouse-shaped Pumpkin Gnocchi Gratin at the food truck in Waterfront Park at Tokyo DisneySea or a Mickey Waffle with pumpkin whipped topping and maple sauce at Great American Waffle Co. in Tokyo Disneyland.
Over in Tokyo Disneyland, the Disney Villains continue their reign with special sets inspired by Disney Villains, including Maleficent from “Sleeping Beauty” at Eastside Cafe and the Queen from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” at Plaza Pavilion Restaurant.
5. Hauntingly Cute Merchandise
What’s a visit to Tokyo Disney Resort without a bag full of perfectly themed merchandise? From adorable ghost headbands to a Maleficent inspired beret, these are just a few of our favorite things.
