Halloween at Tokyo Disney Resort®
URAYASU, CHIBA—The special event “Disney Halloween,” will be held at Tokyo Disneyland® and Tokyo DisneySea® Parks from September 10 through October 31, 2019. The Disney hotels, Disney Resort Line and Ikspiari will also offer exciting programs themed to Halloween.

Guests visiting Tokyo Disneyland can experience the chills and thrills of the “ghost version of Tokyo Disneyland” once again this year. Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse appear in new costumes for the “Spooky ‘Boo!’ Parade.” They are joined by their Disney Friends to bring some spooky, ghostly fun to the Park. After dark, World Bazaar will be transformed with Halloween music and visuals, and new photo locations invite Guests to enjoy fun and spooky photo experiences.
Also this year, Guests of all ages can get into the Halloween spirit by dressing up with simple Disney character touches or going all the way with full Disney character costumes* on any day during the special event period.

Tokyo DisneySea Special Event “Disney Halloween”

Festival of Mystique

- Number of Barges: 5

In the quiet fishing village of Porto Paradiso at Mediterranean Harbor, Halloween was once marked with a great celebration. Yet the tradition had long been forgotten until three mysterious women arrive and suggest reviving the old festival. Mickey Mouse and friends are happy to help and get to work making it a celebration to remember.
The festival, filled with marine motifs reflecting the heritage of the fishing village, begins with bewitching music and dancing. As the beautiful women start singing, a sinister atmosphere falls over the celebrations. Led by these women, everyone in the harbor is dancing when suddenly thunder claps and fire and water shoot up. The women are then revealed to be Sea Witches who have used the celebration of Halloween as a cover to bring back the wicked king of the sea. Their plan has been discovered too late and the Disney Friends have already been ensnared by an evil power. Mickey Mouse and the Disney Friends must prevent the rise of the wicked king, and release Halloween from the evil spell.
