Halloween is one of the best times of the year at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Both theme parks go all out with ticketed events, Oogie Boogie Bash and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, plus a wide assortment of decorations and themed treats. And of course, all the Halloween merchandise!

New this year will be a Minnie Mouse pumpkin in the same size which is sure to be just as popular as the Mickey Mouse pumpkin. The announcement from Disney hinted at “even more Halloween Mickey Mouse pumpkin surprises coming this season” which makes me wonder if we might get even MORE pumpkin characters?

These Mickey Mouse pumpkins light up and are about 22 inches high! Last year these big Mickey Mouse pumpkins sold for $74.99. These pumpkins were so popular that each release was timed and announced in advance so guests could prepare. They sold out IMMEDIATELY each time, you had to be lightning fast to get your hands on one. Hopefully this year Disney is prepared for the demand!

Haunted Mansion Merchandise Collection 

Halloween is a great time of year for Haunted Mansion collectors as this is often when Disney releases a wide variety of Haunted Mansion merchandise. This year will feature a collection including apparel, a belt bag, and backpack all themed after the best Disney attraction. I love the emphasis on Haunted Mansion during Halloween and am especially excited to see the new Haunted Mansion bar coming later this year!

We also got a sneak peak at the lineup of Mickey and friends themed merchandise which features bright oranges and purples for this year.

Halloween is one of the best times to visit Disneyland and Walt Disney World! We can’t wait to hear more details about all the seasonal events.
