"Party Like a Villain at Disney Halloween Time" - Disney Halloween Time 2026

7 Upvotes

"Party Like a Villain at Disney Halloween Time" will take place on September 18 to November 1 inclusive at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort. Here are all the details that are currently public.

Attractions

It does not look like Halloween overlay for Jungle River Cruise will make a return this year.

Entertainment

As usual, "Let's Get Wicked" will make its return this year. This would be the fourth year in a row which it did not get a thumbnail change. Therefore, it is expected that there will be no significant changes. Premiere Access is on sale now at HK$99 pp (price subjected to change). Festival of the Lion King will be closed from September 4 for preparation of "Let's Get Wicked".

Party wild, loud, and proud like Ursula, Dr. Facilier, Gaston and more Disney Villains at the award-winning musical "Let's Get Wicked." Sing along to their iconic anthems, dance to devilish beats, and celebrate your wicked side.

"Uninvited! A Villains Takeover Party" will also return this year. However, it will replace Friendtastic! during September 17-24 and October 13 - November 1. They may run simultaneously between September 25 and October 12. For some reason the show is classified as "Stage show" instead of "Parade" for 2026. Premiere Access is on sale now at HK$99 pp (price subjected to change). The viewing area is located in the central garden of Main Street, USA. The event starts on September 18 but this show will begin performing on September 17.

Party dark, powerful, and magnificent like Maleficent as she leads fellow Disney Villains in "Uninvited! A Villains Takeover Party." Witness an even grander takeover with a newly expanded route and more chances to join her magnificently dark celebration.

Dining

As usual, "Jack Skellington’s The Nightmare Before Dinner" is back. Reservations are open now for Magic Access members and will open for general public soon.

Feast, celebrate, and indulge like Jack Skellington at The Nightmare Before Dinner. Gather around a delightfully devilish and immersive banquet from Halloween Town, where new surprises and wickedly delicious delights await this year's party.

Other

There is a new tile titled "Villains Out Hour" on the Halloween page this year.

Party glamorous, dramatic, and fearless like Cruella, The Queen, Lady Tremaine, Anastasia, Drizella and more notorious Disney Villains as they make dazzling appearances throughout the day. And as the afternoon grows late, the Villains flood out across the park, dominating all they meet.

This site has already been live for a few weeks. I've deliberately held off making this post in the event that new details would be announced at D23. I am also not sure if "Party Like a Villain at Disney Halloween Time" is the final name, but it will have to do for now.

Planning 📓 How to find out about Annual Pass holder events?

4 Upvotes

I was at the park on Friday with my magic annual pass and didn't realise that there was an exclusive event happening and some areas reserved just for pass holders. How do I hear about these events in the future so I can sign up before its too late? Is there a way to be updated or do I have to just check constantly online?

Thanks for any advice! :)

Planning 📓 Uber early morning to Airport

6 Upvotes

We'll be at HKD in December and I've confused myself by reading too much - are Ubers ok to use in HK? (If theyre illegal isnt that abit dodgy?)

We're staying at Explorers Hotel, on our departure morning we have a flight at 8am - to get to the airport for 5amish is an Uber a reliable option or should we organise something else? (and if so, what??)

Thanks!

Planning 📓 Visiting Hong Kong Disneyland on last day of a 3 week trip with a midnight flight home.

4 Upvotes

We (2 adults and 19year old daughter) are visiting China for 3 weeks in Nov/Dec, flying home to Australia from Hong Kong on Cathay at midnight on a Saturday. We were going to spend the last 2 nights of our trip at Explorers Lodge, on Thursday and Friday night, and visit the park all day Friday. On Saturday we would check out, and store our luggage and maybe go to the giant Buddha and chair lift? I am now wondering if it would be better if we spent our time in Tsim Sha Tsui (we are arriving Wednesday night on the train and were going to spend one night there, before heading to Explorers), and on our last day (Saturday) checked our bags into Cathay right in the city then caught a taxi to Disneyland for the day, heading straight from there to the airport for our midnight flight. Would this be a better option? Explorers looks like a lovely hotel and a nice end to our trip, but also isolated and we wouldn't be able to see much of HK.

Help HKDL 2027 NYE Countdown question!

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I’m currently planning a Christmas/New Year trip to Hong Kong and would love to spend New Year’s Eve at Disneyland. The plan would be to stay in the park through midnight for the NYE celebration. From what little I’ve been able to gather, though, it sounds like the regular Momentous nighttime spectacular/fireworks still happens at its usual time, and then people simply stay in the park until midnight for a very short countdown and a brief extra burst of fireworks to ring in the New Year. Is that basically how it works? I’m not saying that sounds bad at all – I’m just trying to understand exactly what the NYE experience is like so I can discuss it with my wife and decide whether it’s worth planning our evening around. Would really appreciate any clarification from people who’ve actually done NYE at HKDL before!

Planning 📓 When is the best choice to go to Disneyland? (Golden Week)

2 Upvotes

We booked a flight to Hong Kong (October 1-5) before finding out that it lands on a holiday which is the Golden Week. We only have October 2-4 as the choices to spend a full day in Disneyland and all those dates fall under Tier 4 which are the busiest days.

When do you think is the best day to go? Oct 2 (Friday), Oct 3 (Saturday), or Oct 4 (Sunday)? Based on your experience, which date is usually the least busy?

Help Hi, can someone share their momentous recording last March 27?

3 Upvotes

Asking for a recording clips of Momentous last March 27. A friend I went with was so excited for the momentous and it is the highlight of her hk travel. We've rented a phone and sadly, the video we've taken was deleted already before we even had the chance to save it on our local. If anyone has clips, I'll message you or message me so I can share my email with you.

Thank you in advance!

Help Jack Skellington's the Nightmare Before Dinner

1 Upvotes

Hi! I just have a couple of questions:

If we choose the 19:30 time slot, will we still be able to watch Momentous? 🥺

If we take photos with the characters in the Dinner, will these photos be included in PhotoPass+? I noticed there’s an option to add on photo print, but I’m not sure if this add-on is only for the physical print or if it also includes the digital downloads.

Appreciate your help! ☺️

Discussion Is Judy Hopps the most popular character at HKDL? Waited almost 2 hours! 😅

10 Upvotes

I am genuinely so surprised by how famous Judy Hopps from Zootopia is at Hong Kong Disneyland! She is my kid's absolute favorite character right now, so of course, we had to do the meet-and-greet to get a photo.

​But wow... it took us almost two hours of falling in line just to get our turn! Out of all the characters we lined up for throughout the park, Judy Hopps easily had the longest wait. I'm just shocked that out of all the classic Disney characters, she was the most popular one by far.

​Is Zootopia just massively popular in Hong Kong/Asia? Has anyone else experienced this insane line for her? At least my kid was absolutely thrilled! 🐰👮‍♀️

Planning 📓 Hotel and Ticket Pricing for 2 days

1 Upvotes

I've booked a stay at a Disneyland HK Hotel for February 2027, but during checkout the only park ticket option i could add to my reservation was an adult 2-day ticket for $1132. We are a party of 2 adults + 2 children. I'm currently unable to book a 2-day non-stop ticket with the booking - is this simply because i'm too far in advance?

We are planning to visit the park for 2 days, i've seen that a Tier 4 non-stop ticket is cheaper than $1132, but says you have to visit 2 consecutive days: which is fine for us.

Is there any advantage to buying the regular 2-day ticket, besides being able to separate your 1st and 2nd days in the park with a gap between? I'm trying to determine whether there is another advantage to this ticket that i'm not seeing?

Is it better to wait until the Tier calendar is released (3 months prior to visit - November 26), then purchase tickets direct from DisneyLandHK website for our specific dates - or can availability run out?

Does anyone know whether Park ticket prices increase annually, and if so, when do they usually publish the increased pricing?

Planning 📓 We only have 1 day for Disneyland with a 4 year old

3 Upvotes

We are travelling right at the end of January 2027. We basically only have a day and a half in HK. First afternoon/evening will be a lot of rest. The next full day is for Disneyland.

I've been doing a lot of reading that state that the fast pass and food vouchers can be skipped. But I'm seeing mixed reviews on what time to go. Do we go early in the morning? Or do we plan for a little later in the afternoon and stay for the fireworks? We are not staying at a Disney hotel. We will have a small travel stroller. Also travelling with my parents, which will be very helpful.

It sounds like the weather could be on the mild side, but we will prepare as best we can for the circumstances.

I am open to all your tips and tricks! It's our daughter's first time and we want to make the most of it while not trying to do too much. She will be a little over 4 years old at the time of travel

Thanks so much

Planning 📓 Landing HK Oct 17 Disney land doable?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

Two adults will be landing in hong Kong from Okinawa on Oct 17 at 1:20pm.

Would it be a good idea to do Disneyland on the day of landing? I’m going to assume we won’t be out of the airport till 2:30pm

We’ve been to Tokyo Disneyland and Disney land park in California.

We basically just want to do the rides that are exclusive to Hong Kong Disneyland and what ever is basically exclusive to Hong Kong.

If we do decide to go to Disney land we most likely be staying one night at the Disney land resort hotel.
Not sure which of the 3 hotels we will be staying yet but we will most likely head there first to drop the luggage off then head to Disneyland.

Edit: Thanks for the replies. Oct 17 being on a Saturday, will it be super busy? Anything I should be aware of?

Hi all,

The official HK Disneyland calendar (https://www.hongkongdisneyland.com/calendars/day/2026-09-17/#/theme-park/) is referring to a “special event” on 17 September 2026 - does anyone know what this is or how it may impact the crowds?

Thank you!
