Things To Do in Anaheim

Disneyland Park
Halloween at Disneyland is one of the most fun times to go. The park feels extra alive with all the spooky-cute decorations, the characters show up in their Halloween outfits, and the ride overlays make everything feel fresh again. Treats are everywhere, the nighttime vibes are great, and it just feels like the whole place leans into the season in the best way.
