 Disneyland Halloween 2011 and Mickey's Trick or Treat Party. When you visit Disneyland during the day, some of the park's rides will be "dressed up" for Halloween like Space Mountain and of course the Haunted House. (Halloween decorations go up September 16 and stay through October 31, 2011.) But aside from that, you can buy tickets to Mickey's Trick or Treat Party for a truly festive Halloween. What happens at this party?
"Mickey's Trick or Treat Party" is called a "private party" but anyone can buy tickets, provided they're not sold out. Disneyland has been throwing this party at California Adventure since 2005. 2010 was the first year they moved it to Disneyland. Here is the lowdown:  - When is it?
- Sept. 30 and Oct. 3, 7, 11, 14, 18, 21, 25, 28, and 31.
- On Mondays, Tuesdays, and Halloween night, the party goes from 6:00 – 11:00 p.m. Guests with tickets may enter Disneyland beginning at 3:00 p.m.
- On Fridays, Mickey’s Halloween Party goes from 7:00 p.m. to midnight. Guests can go in starting at 4:00 p.m.
- What do tickets cost?
- Pricing depends on which night you go and when you buy them (in advance or at the door):
- Sept. 30 and on Oct, 3, 11, 18 and 25:
- $49/person if you buy in advance
- $59/person if you buy the same day as the party
- Annual pass holders, DVC members and Disney Visa card holders save $5 on advance purchases.
- Kids ages 2 and under are free.

- Oct. 28 and 31: $64 per person (no discounts)
You can buy them online or by calling Disneyland at (714) 781-4400. 
- What can you expect there?
- A special fireworks show called "Halloween Screams", for ticketed guests only
- Dance parties
- Trick-or-treating: On your way in you'll get a trick-or-treat bag (bring your own if you want a sturdier, bigger bag). There are trick-or-treat stations around the park with the usual sugar plus healthy alternatives.
- Extra character sightings: Rare characters like Cinderella's Evil Stepmother and Stepsisters come out for photo ops.
- Crafts
- Costumes: This is the only event where adults are allowed to wear costumes into the park. Be smart about it: you're at Disneyland, not a college party, so nothing "obstructive, offensive or violent", and your eyes must be visible at all times.
- Spooky food.
- Free Parking. Wow!
DISNEYLAND HALLOWEEN TIPS: - Be ready for crowds.
- Be ready for traffic jams.
- Leave plenty of time to get there and park. Remember that with free parking included, the parking lots will be especially cozy. Figure it could take nearly 45 minutes from the time you drive up to the time you walk in the park.
- When choosing your costume, think "kid-friendly" or they might not let you in.
- Buy your tickets online at least 1 day ahead of time to get the "advance purchase" price.
