While certain 70th anniversary experiences can continue to run uninterrupted during the Halloween celebration, others will need to pause temporarily. This is important to know if you want to visit while all of the 70th anniversary offerings are running—if so, the time to do this is between now and August 21. You can see our separate article on why you might want to consider visiting during an even more specific window within that timeframe after some more new 70th additions debut.

This means that a few other 70th anniversary entertainment offerings are pausing, including Wondrous Journeys, “The Celebrate Happy Cavalcade,” and the “Better Together: A Pixar Pals Celebration!” Parade. We assume that these same offerings will be paused during the holiday celebration as well.

We also know that some areas of the park will keep their 70th anniversary decorative touches during the Halloween celebration, like the castle sculpture in the esplanade, for instance. The MagicBand+ interaction points and Key to Disneyland experience will also still be available.
