Things to Know
Before we get into the details, here are a few things to know:
- There is no Halloween Party, unlike the US parks.
- Halloween offerings are included in your park admission (some activities may be an extra charge).
- Disney Premier Access will be offered for “House of De Vil-lains” (HK$99) and “Let’s Get Wicked” (HK$159). Disney Premier Access does not include admission to the Hong Kong Disneyland Park.
Halloween Merchandise
It’s not Halloween at Disney without Merchandise! The Hong Kong Disneyland Halloween 2024 collection features adorable plush toys and keychains of popular Disney characters including Mickey and Minnie dressed in spooky Halloween costumes, and pastel ghost versions of Daisy and Donald Duck.
The collection also features items to enhance your time at the park during Halloween, including a Mickey Pumpkin Bucket ideal for trick-or-treating, Minnie ear headbands, themed clothing and accessories.
Pro Tip: Remember when paying with a credit card to choose Hong Kong Dollars to avoid foreign transaction fees with most cards (check with your bank first).
Food and Drink
Guests visiting during Halloween Time can immerse themselves in the world of The Nightmare Before Christmas with a delicious four-course dinner at “Jack Skellington’s The Nightmare Before Dinner” at the River View Cafe. The limited-time dinner features special appearances by the inhabitants of Halloween Town including Jack, Sally, and Oogie Boogie.
The set meal is priced at HK$498 on regular days and HK$598 on peak days. Reservations can be made via the official Hong Kong Disneyland website.
Entertainment
Hong Kong Disneyland always delivers when it comes to limited-time entertainment. Let’s take a look at the spooky entertainment on offer this Halloween. For show schedules be sure to check the official Hong Kong Disneyland website and app.
Let’s Get Wicked
“Let’s Get Wicked” will return to Theater in the Wild in Adventureland transporting guests into a wicked world full of Disney villains performing iconic songs, including Ursula, Cruella de Vil, Dr. Facilier, Gaston, and Maleficent. The high-energy show will be presented in the Festival of the Lion King theatre.
House of De Vil-lains
House of De Vil-lains will also return for the second year, transforming Exhibition Hall into a Cruella theme Halloween party. After entering via a Cruella-themed catwalk, guests will be treated to a thrilling performance by Cruella, Ursula, the Evil Queen, the Queen of Hearts, Maleficent and more.
Mickey’s Halloween Time Street Party
Join “Mickey’s Halloween Time Street Party” and dance with Mickey and Friends as Halloween music fills the air. The Halloween street party features Disney characters appearing atop giant jack-o’-lanterns.
Character Greetings
During the Halloween season, guests can meet with popular characters, many appearing in cute Halloween costumes. Lady Tremaine, along with her daughters, Anastasia and Drizella, will crash Main Street, U.S.A. and entertain the crowd before Mickey’s Halloween Time Street Party!
Best Time to Visit
The weather is still hot in September and October with an average of 27°C (81°F) and 26°C (80°F) with high humidity. It doesn’t rain as much in October compared to September.
The best days to visit are Tuesday-Friday to avoid crowds (not that Hong Kong gets especially busy compared to other Disney Parks, but weekends are always busier in general). I suggest visiting near the end of October due to the cooling weather and you skip Golden Week, which makes both Hong Kong and Shanghai rather busy.
September is also fine as there are no major holidays, but if you don’t like the heat and humidity, then it’s best to go with October.
Recommendations & Tips
If anything, just follow these points to make the most of your time:
- Always check the times guide to make sure you don’t miss out on anything
- Arrive 30 minutes before park opening to get photos with characters on Main Street U.S.A. in costumes
- Check out the Market House Bakery for Halloween-themed baked goods
- Have dinner/lunch at either the Main Street Cafe, Plaza Inn, Tahitian Terrace, or Karibuni Marketplace and enjoy their Halloween special menus
