That includes special shows featuring the Disney Villains, including meet and greets with the likes of Maleficent, Captain Hook, the Queen of Hearts and Cruella de Vil.
As night falls, fans heading to the castle to watch the Disney D-Light drone show and the Fireworks will also get to see an exciting show celebrating the villains, complete with a dancing fountain display and projections.
Meanwhile, Mickey’s Halloween Celebration Cavalcade is finally back after a two-year absence. The special parade at Disneyland will see Mickey and his friends donning special Halloween costumes, complete with a 'Mickey's Illusion Manor' float.
However, one big highlight of the season is sure to be the iconic Disney Halloween Parties which are back on October 29 and 31. A number of attractions open until 2am, the Cavalcade makes an appearance, and guests will be able to enjoy a host of extra perks such as exclusive shows, meet and greets with villains, and some spooky guests wandering through the parks.
Christmas 2022
Between November 12 to January 8, the French resort is getting a festive makeover.

Christmas songs, fireworks, dancing fountains and plenty of tributes to Frozen and Pixar films will be on offer - and the theme park is promising some exciting effects "never seen before in a Disney Park"!
It won't be the only show on offer.
