Are you planning on visiting Tokyo Disney Resort for Halloween this year? You’re in luck, details for “Disney’s Halloween” are now available! Not too much different from last year, but a few updated things to note.
Disney’s Halloween at Tokyo Disney Resort starts September 8 through October 31, 2017. We’ll report on the full list of merchandise & food items once they become available. For now, here are the highlights from the official press release from the Oriental Land Company.

Tokyo Disneyland presents Halloween Pop’n LIVE again this year as their main parade with updated music and costumes. Along with decorations in the World Bazaar, the Hub area in front of Cinderella Castle, and throughout the park!
The special event at Tokyo Disneyland Park will again be themed to a Halloween music festival. Mickey Mouse and his Disney Friends join ghost and skeleton “stars” in entertaining Guests with a variety of amusing and exciting musical performances in “Halloween Pop’n LIVE” presented along the parade route. Besides new music this year, Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their friends will wear new costumes. Also, an MC will appear for the first time to take the excitement to a higher level. To increase the sense of being a part of the festival, the Park will offer special merchandise such as a “music festival” towel that Guests can wave together with the Disney Friends, the dancers and other Cast Members.
Tokyo DisneySea

For the third time “The Villains World” is the main show for Halloween which features various villains such as Maleficent. Mickey and Friends join the Disney Villains in a themed party in the Mediterranean Harbor for an energetic performance.
Various locations throughout Tokyo DisneySea are decorated with the Villains theme!
Tokyo DisneySea Park will present a cool, but eerie Halloween event themed to the Disney Villains**. The Park will be transformed into an eerie atmosphere as the Disney Villains, together with Mickey Mouse and his Disney friends, host a cool Halloween party. Presented at Mediterranean Harbor will be “The Villains World.” In this show, the Disney Villains take the leading roles and they put on their best performances to attract and impress the Disney Friends and Guests. Dressed in costumes inspired by the Disney Villains, Mickey Mouse, his friends and all the Guests join the party and raise the level of Halloween excitement. In the grand finale, Maleficent releases her magical powers at the greatest level ever for an impressive conclusion to the party.
Costume Days

The most popular aspect — and most impressive — of Halloween at Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo DisneySea is the costume days. In earlier years guests were allowed to wear costumes on specific dates (first and last weeks of the event). For the first time this year, guests can wear their impressive Halloween costumes on any day during the event at both Tokyo Disneyland & Tokyo DisneySea!
This will be the 20th year that “Disney’s Halloween” has been held, and for the first time both Parks will allow Guests of all ages to dress up as Disney Characters on any day during the special event period. Guests will be able to immerse themselves in the world of Disney even more, as they get into the Halloween spirit by dressing up with simple character touches or going all the way with full character costumes.
Check out our Guide to Halloween Costumes Days for more information.
Decorations

You’ll find unique decorations at both Parks. Tokyo Disneyland offers a “music festival” as their theme (which ties into the Halloween Pop’n LIVE parade) while Tokyo DisneySea focuses on the Disney Villains.
Tokyo Disneyland will have decorations showing the Disney Friends and the cheerful ghosts as entertainment stars putting on a musical performance. In the center and along the streets of World Bazaar, cobwebs, ghosts, huge jack-o’-lanterns and other Halloween decorations will be set up, enhancing the Halloween mood even more. Again this year, Westernland, Fantasyland, and Toontown will be decorated with pumpkins, ghosts and more for a lively and cheerful atmosphere. And after dark, Cinderella Castle and its surroundings will be lit up to enhance the Halloween atmosphere.
At Tokyo DisneySea, Guests will find decorations themed to a cool and eerie Halloween with the Disney Villains. Inside the Park Entrance, Guests will feel that they are entering the world of the
villains who have gained even more power. This year, at Water Street in American Waterfront, Guests will find decorations with the motif of the briars summoned by Maleficent. Decorations in Mediterranean Harbor and American Waterfront will be based on the Disney Villains and
create a mysterious atmosphere, while over in Arabian Coast, decorations with motifs of Jafar can be found again this year.

So are Costume Days just at Tokyo Disneyland or can you dress up in Tokyo Disneysea too?
We’re going the first week of Halloween (11th – 14th) – do you think extending Costume Days will have an impact on crowds?
This is super duper great news! My best friend and I were so looking forward to cosplaying at Tokyo Disneyland, then I read in your previous articles that we’re only allowed to do so on certain days, which won’t fall on the days we’d be there. I was so bummed, until I came upon this article! Our dreams have been revived!!! Thank you!
