Both\u00a0Mater\u2019s Graveyard JamBOOree and\u00a0Luigi\u2019s Honkin\u2019 Haul-O-Ween are returning with spirited music and decorations they thought up. I thought Halloween music with an Italian accent was a little odd at Luigi&#8217;s, but Mater&#8217;s offering is awesomely cute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-65009\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo4-400x286.jpg\" alt=\"Halloween Time returns to Disneyland\" width=\"400\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo4-400x286.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo4-140x100.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo4.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nearby, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2017\/09\/guardians-of-the-galaxy-mission-breakout\/\">Guardians of the Galaxy Mission:Breakout<\/a> becomes\u00a0Guardians of the Galaxy \u2013 Monsters After Dark when night falls for an edgier experience.

Last year all of the nights for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2016\/10\/mickeys-halloween-party-disneyland\/\">Mickey&#8217;s Halloween Party<\/a> sold out even before the first date in mid-September! If you do have one of these hot tickets, expect creative costumes, an exclusive parade and fireworks show (also one of my favorites), trick-or-treating throughout Disneyland, and special character greetings. A real treat for all-age ghouls and boys.<\/p>\n<h3>Decorations<\/h3>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know where they store them the rest of the year, but the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/2017\/10\/halloween-time-disneyland-resort\/\">Halloween decorations<\/a> in both parks are starting to rival the Christmas season for scope and originality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-65011\" src=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo2-400x286.jpg\" alt=\"Halloween Time returns to Disneyland\" width=\"400\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo2-400x286.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo2-140x100.jpg 140w, https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/hallo2.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ride overlays aren&#8217;t the only thing special in Cars Land.

Purple lights strung around the trees in Carthay Circle and bats lurking overhead add to the foreboding feel.
