Not to be missed! From September 10 through October 31, 2019, Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea Parks will be holding a special “Disney Halloween”! The Disney hotels, Disney Resort Line and Ikspiari will also offer exciting programs themed to Halloween.
At Tokyo DisneySea this year, Halloween takes on a dark and mysterious theme as Guests are invited to an eerie celebration of the season. In the new harbor show, “Festival of Mystique,” an air of foreboding falls upon the Halloween celebrations of Porto Paradiso. The “Sea Witches” have devised a plan to bring the festivities under their control, but Mickey Mouse and his Disney Friends are on hand to save Halloween and put it back to the way it should be.
Dress Up and Join in!
Guests visiting Tokyo Disneyland can experience the chills and thrills of the “ghost version of Tokyo Disneyland” once again this year! Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will be appearing in new costumes for the “Spooky ‘Boo!’ Parade.” They are joined by their Disney Friends to bring some ghostly fun to the Park. After dark, World Bazaar will be transformed with Halloween music and visuals, and new photo locations will be around for guests to enjoy fun and spooky photo experiences.
Also this year, guests of all ages can get into the Halloween spirit by dressing up with simple Disney character touches or going all the way with full Disney character costumes on any day during the special event period.
The Disney hotels, Disney Resort Line and Ikspiari will also be offering exciting programs during the period ensuring lots of spooky fun throughout Tokyo Disney Resort this Halloween.

Festival of Mystique
In the quiet fishing village of Porto Paradiso at Mediterranean Harbor, Halloween was once marked with a great celebration. Yet the tradition had long been forgotten until three mysterious women arrived and suggested reviving the old festival. Mickey Mouse and friends are happy to help and get to work making it a celebration to remember!
The festival, filled with marine motifs reflecting the heritage of the fishing village, begins with bewitching music and dancing. As the beautiful women start singing, a sinister atmosphere falls over the celebrations. Led by these women, everyone in the harbor is dancing when suddenly there’s a thunder clap, followed by fire and water shooting for the skies. The women are then revealed to be Sea Witches who have used the celebration of Halloween as a cover to bring back the wicked king of the sea. Their plan has been discovered too late and the Disney Friends have already been ensnared by an evil power. Mickey Mouse and the Disney Friends must prevent the rise of the wicked king, and release Halloween from the evil spell.
