🎃 We know you’re still planning your Halloween costume... but it’s time to start unwrapping your holiday plans! 🎄✨

The holidays are one of the most popular times of year at Disneyland Resort, and rooms at Howard Johnson Anaheim are already filling up.

From November 13 through January 6, Disneyland Resort transforms into a winter wonderland with festive décor, seasonal treats, dazzling entertainment, and holiday traditions around every corner.

Here’s just a taste of what’s waiting:

🎄 “it’s a small world” Holiday & Haunted Mansion Holiday

🎅 Santa Claus visits Mickey’s Toontown

🎆 Believe... in Holiday Magic fireworks

🎁 A Christmas Fantasy Parade

💦 World of Color – Season of Light

🍪 Disney Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure

🚗 Holiday fun in Cars Land with Mater’s Jingle Jamboree and Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl

There’s nothing quite like experiencing the holidays at Disneyland, then ending the day with a short walk back to your home base at Howard Johnson Anaheim.

✨ Holiday availability is already becoming limited, so if you’re thinking about a holiday getaway, now’s the time to book.

🎃 The season of tricks and treats has arrived at the Disneyland Resort... and this year, the parks have scared up some delightful treats, merchandise, ride overlays, and much more. Take a look at what is waiting just across the street from your home away from home at HoJo Anaheim.

🗓️ Halloween runs now through October 31, 2026.

🎃 Hand-carved pumpkins line Main Street once again, and this year’s crop welcomes Chewbacca and the Millennium Falcon to the family… look near the Walt and Mickey statue.

👻 Haunted Mansion Holiday throws open its doors to Jack, Sally and Zero, with a wonderful 13-foot music box gingerbread house presiding over the ballroom.

🚗 Haul-O-Ween dresses all of Radiator Springs for the occasion, and Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree and Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween are both gentle enough for the whole family to enjoy together.

🕷️ Oogie Boogie Bash returns for 33 select nights, with Yzma joining the villains for the very first time. Those tickets are sold separately, but there are still a few nights available.

You will want to linger until the twinkling purple lights on Buena Vista Street and Cars Land. And when you’ve had your fill, just stumble back to HoJo with visions of Mickey and fiends (see what we did there) dancing in your heads, because it’s just an eight minute walk from the park gates to your room.

🏴‍☠️ Seven private acres, a secluded Garden Pool, and the pirate-themed Castaway Cove water playground will all be waiting when you need a quick mid-day break.

👉 Come stay with us for Halloween Time. Link in bio, and let us welcome you home.

What is first on your list this year: the Pumpkin Festival, Haul-O-Ween, or a night at Oogie Boogie’s big bash? 👇

🎃 It’s Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort…

🗓️ The Halloween season arrived over the weekend and will run through October 31.

Haunted Mansion Holiday is back, Halloween Screams is lighting up the night sky, Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween has taken over Cars Land, Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit has families hunting for pumpkins across both parks, and Mickey and friends have new vintage-inspired Halloween costumes👻🍂

But August and September in Southern California still come with plenty of sunshine, and when it’s time to cool down from the heat of the day, a refreshing splash in our pool or at our pirate-themed Castaway Cove water playground makes HoJo a delightful oasis just across the street from Disneyland 💦

And when you’re ready to return, the parks are an easy walk away, with all that not-so-scary evening magic waiting for you. 🌙
