Tokyo Disney Resort now has dates and some details of its annual Disney Halloween event, including the returning Disney Villains parade, Halloween Greeting, and the return of the Coco event.

Disney Halloween 2026 Dates

Disney Halloween at Tokyo Disney Resort will be from September 16 through October 31.

The Villains’ Halloween “Into the Frenzy”

The Villains’ Halloween “Into the Frenzy” will be performed once daily on the Tokyo Disneyland parade route. It’s about 45 minutes.

The parade features six floats with characters like Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog, Cruella de Vil from One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Captain Hook from Peter Pan, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, Jafar from Aladdin, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and more.

Dr. Facilier leads the parade on a float that acts as the entrance to the Disney Villains’ party. During show stops, the Villains and Mickey & Friends dance to energetic music. Flames and smoke erupt from a float.

The show stops will be in the Westernland and Fantasyland area, the Plaza, Tomorrowland, and Toontown area.

Daiwa House Industry is still the show’s sponsor this year. Daiwa also sponsors Stitch Encounter in Tokyo Disneyland and Anna and Elsa’s Frozen Journey in Tokyo DisneySea.

Tokyo Disneyland Halloween Decorations

The Mickey flower bed at the park entrance will be Halloween-themed. Thorns and vines will adorn World Bazaar. At the center of the entrance area will be a Mickey-inspired pumpkin photo spot.

Around Cinderella Castle will be banners featuring Disney Villains. In Toontown, there will be pumpkin and ghost decorations.

Haunted Mansion “Holiday Nightmare”

The Haunted Mansion will be transformed for the season into Haunted Mansion “Holiday Nightmare,” Tokyo Disney Resort’s version of the Haunted Mansion Holiday “The Nightmare Before Christmas” overlay. This will be in place from September 15, 2026 through January 7, 2027. As a note, this is a few days sooner than the attraction overlay closed this past Halloween season.

Halloween Harbor Greeting

At Tokyo DisneySea, the 15-minute Halloween Greeting in Mediterranean Harbor will be performed twice daily. Mickey, Minnie, Duffy, ShellieMay, and more characters will appear in their Halloween costumes on a decorated boat featuring a Jack-o’-Lantern. Guests can join in with a trick-or-treat-themed dance.

Tokyo DisneySea Halloween Decorations

New pumpkin decorations will appear at the park entrance. Murals of Mickey and Minnie in costumes will be painted near the Palazzo Canal. In the New York area of American Waterfront, there will be pumpkin decorations.

Guests must dress up and apply make-up at home or at their place of stay before visiting, or use the changing space at Ikspiari, which will be available for guests to use for a fee. Guests are asked to refrain from using the restrooms, multi-function restrooms, or storage locker areas both inside and outside the park for changing clothes.

The Coco-inspired Lazos de la Familia celebration is returning this year and will be in Lost River Delta at Tokyo DisneySea from September 15 through November 2 to honor Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). According to the Tokyo Disney Resort Instagram, this area will be expanded from the first iteration last year.

There will be colorful decorations, including skull banners and marigolds on the Puente Buena Vista bridge. Entertainment will include mariachi music and dance performances.
