2025 Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit
One of the most popular highlights is Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit. This playful scavenger hunt is perfect for families and a great way to explore the Halloween Magic around the resort.
Guests purchase a themed map and stickers, then set out to find hidden character-inspired pumpkins.

These reservations typically fill up fast! A great tip is to use the Mobile Dine Walk-up option in the Disneyland app and check for same-day, last-minute availability, as vacation plans are always changing.
Resort hotel guests can also join the Halloween Time Treat Trail. This complimentary trick-or-treat trail visits all three Disneyland Resort Hotels.
Simply grab a wristband, treat bag, and goodie guide at the front desk, then get ready for a candy-filled adventure.

Finally, be sure to end your night at Pixar Place Hotel.
The rooftop deck offers a great spot to watch the Halloween Screams Fireworks show, which features colorful pyrotechnics, special effects, and themed music!
These are just a few must-dos when visiting! Additional touches can be found throughout the entire resort. Immerse yourself in autumn décor and look for character sightings in seasonal costumes at Goofy’s Kitchen and Storytellers Café.
