For the first time, Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort is also taking over Disney California Adventure Park, with areas such as Buena Vista Street and Cars Land getting all dressed up for holiday fun. The recently-opened Guardians of the Galaxy \u2013 Mission: BREAKOUT! attraction gets some additional thrills as it transforms into Guardians of the Galaxy \u2013 Monsters After Dark each night. Additional attractions will receive spooky fun updates, and there will be plenty of Halloween decorations, themed food and beverage, eerie merchandise and more.<\/p>\n

\"Disneyland<\/p>\n

Halloween excitement begins as guests first enter Disney California Adventure. An oversized, shadowy silhouette of Oogie Boogie, the villainous boogeyman from \u201cTim Burton\u2019s The Nightmare Before Christmas\u201d ominously leers over guests passing through the main entrance. In a spooky but fun moment, Oogie appears to unleash a swarm of bats which sound as if they fly down Buena Vista Street towards Hollywood Land, Cars Land and beyond. Guests will even see the bats circling the tower of the Carthay Circle Theatre.<\/p>\n

Cars Land Haul-O-Ween<\/h2>\n

Everyone\u2019s favorite Cars characters have transformed Radiator Springs into their own Haul-O-Ween celebration. Scary the \u201cScare-car\u201d greets guests at the entrance of Route 66 for a special photo opportunity. Each of the Cars has decorated its establishment for the season. With Fillmore showing off his Jack-Oil-Lanterns and ghostly folk art, Sarge displaying his \u201cpump-kins,\u201d and a Spider-Car spinning webs all over the outside of Flo\u2019s V8 Caf\u00e9, the town of Radiator Springs will indeed be transformed into Radiator Screams!<\/p>\n

\"Carsland<\/p>\n

Two of the attractions also have been transformed for Halloween for the first time. Mater\u2019s Junkyard Jamboree becomes Mater\u2019s Graveyard JamBOOree. Expect to hear some creepy, new songs and fun haunted twists on other hits, including \u201cMonster Truck Smash\u201d and \u201cWelcome to Radiator Screams\u201d as guests whirl around the graveyard. Additionally, Luigi\u2019s Rollickin\u2019 Roadsters becomes Luigi\u2019s Honkin\u2019 Haul-O-Ween, an all-new spooktacular dance celebration where Luigi and Guido entertain the cugini (cousins) with Halloween twists to traditional Italian festival songs like the \u201cTerror-antella,\u201d \u201cThe Chop Top of Carsoli\u201d and more. It\u2019s hair-raising fun \u2026 for a limited time!<\/p>\n

\"Carsland<\/p>\n

Also, for the first time, the Cars characters will be donning their Halloween \u201ccar-stumes\u201d as they greet guests and prepare to go \u201ctrunk-or-treating.\u201d Mater will be wearing his vampire or \u201cvan-pire\u201d outfit, while Lightning McQueen is dressed as a super hero. Cruz Ramirez, Red the Fire Truck and DJ get dressed up as a pirate, a clown and a punk rocker, respectively.<\/p>\n

Guardians of the Galaxy \u2013 Monsters After Dark<\/h2>\n

Fans were thrilled when Guardians of the Galaxy \u2013 Mission: BREAKOUT! opened in May at Disney California Adventure Park, and now they\u2019re in for a scary Halloween treat as the attraction is transformed nightly into Guardians of the Galaxy \u2013 Monsters After Dark. During the day, guests continue to experience the excitement, fun and six different ride experiences on Guardians of the Galaxy \u2013 Mission: BREAKOUT! However, each evening the attraction transforms from Mission: BREAKOUT! to Monsters After Dark. The Collector\u2019s Fortress goes dark, alarms sound and all-new lighting on the exterior of the Fortress alerts guests that something inside has gone awry.<\/p>\n

As guests enter the Lobby of the Fortress, they will be startled by flashing alarms and creepy sounds \u2013 warning signs that creatures have escaped their vitrines (glass cages) and all kinds of chaos is erupting. The Collector\u2019s ever-resourceful assistant, Apheta, tries to keep calm by reassuring guests that all is in order, and this is just a momentary setback.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the dark humor of the experience, an all-new 1970s-style punk rock song, \u201cMonsters After Dark,\u201d enhances the thrill of the experience. The song was written especially for this attraction by Tyler Bates, composer for the \u201cGuardians of the Galaxy\u201d films.<\/p>\n

Buena Vista Street Halloween D\u00e9cor<\/h2>\n

Along Buena Vista Street, guests will enjoy Halloween decorations in store windows and in Carthay Circle, they\u2019ll see a new 10-foot-tall statue of the Headless Horseman himself, holding up his jack-o\u2019-lantern head to the sky. New, themed background music further creates the appropriately eerie, but still fun, mood.<\/p>\n

\"Disney<\/p>\n

Mickey and his friends also will be in the area, donning their period-appropriate Halloween costumes, such as a bat for Mickey Mouse, a ghost for Goofy and a witch for Daisy Duck \u2013 all in playful fun, of course.<\/p>\n

Frighteningly Refreshing Food and Beverages<\/h2>\n

Throughout the park, Halloween-themed food and beverage offerings will include:<\/p>\n
