Disneyland Resort is jumping on the Halloween bandwagon earlier than ever this year, starting its spooky season on August 23. This marks the earliest kickoff for the park, signaling a larger trend across the nation where Halloween festivities begin sooner each year.
According to J.P. Morgan, Halloween preparations and sales began as early as the second quarter of 2023 for many retailers. This shift mirrors the increasing excitement for the holiday, pushing Disneyland to advance its seasonal celebrations, which traditionally began in early September.
The early start means more time for Disneyland visitors to enjoy the park’s Halloween-themed attractions, from the iconic Haunted Mansion Holiday to the pumpkin-flavored treats that seem to pop up in every corner of the park.
The expansion of Halloween celebrations is part of a broader trend to capitalize on the growing consumer enthusiasm for the holiday. As Disneyland sets off this year’s Halloween festivities ahead of schedule, it invites guests to indulge in the spooky spirit and extend the seasonal fun.
