Disneyland Paris is pulling out all the stops for Halloween and Christmas this year with some special events for fans.

We're talking special meet and greets with Disney villains, fun parades by Mickey Mouse and his friends, as well as some thrilling shows and parties for Disney fans to enjoy.

That's all alongside the usual parades, rides and attractions to be found across its two parks, Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park. Oh, and that includes its brand new Avengers themed land of course!

We take a look at some of the highlights for both events below...

Halloween 2022

From October 1 to November 8, the theme parks and Disney hotels will be getting a spooky makeover complete with pumpkins, autumnal decorations and skeletons, as well as plenty of exclusive merch and special food and drinks such as a Maleficent Sundae.

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.

One big highlight is the return of Disney Dreams®! of Christmas, alongside Disney D-Light and the fireworks show. 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. Santa Claus will be making a special appearance, Mickey and friends will don their festive outfits, and you can even enjoy 'Let's Sing Christmas', a celebration of Christmas carols. (Keep an eye out for Minnie's rendition of 'All I want for Christmas is… Mickey').

Other highlights will include the giant Christmas Tree which characters come to light up every night, decorations in the Disney Hotels, and plenty of foodie treats and merch.

For those planning to see 2023 in style, there will also be a special New Year's Eve party complete with fireworks, attractions, exclusive shows and character appearances.
