Halloween at Disney California Adventure: Monsters After Dark & Haul-O-Ween Fun

The Halloween season at Disney California Adventure Park promises to be an exciting experience this year, with thrilling attractions and spooky transformations. Two highlights that will leave visitors with unforgettable memories are the transformation of the “Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!” attraction into “Monsters After Dark” and the extensive Halloween celebrations in Cars Land.

Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark: A Thrilling Adventure

From August 23 to October 31, 2024, the popular “Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!” attraction at Disney California Adventure Park transforms into “Monsters After Dark” every late afternoon. During the regular ride, guests help Rocket free the Guardians of the Galaxy from the Collector, Taneleer Tivan. But as darkness falls, a new chapter begins: Rocket realizes that Groot has been left behind and calls on guests for help.

The dramatic change in the attraction is marked by alarming sounds and eerie lighting that turn the Collector's Fortress into a haunting atmosphere. Guests experience an intense ride through the fortress as escaped monsters take over the scene. Enhanced by the specially composed punk rock song “Monsters After Dark” by Tyler Bates, this adventure becomes an unforgettable experience.

Haul-O-Ween in Cars Land: Spooky Transformations in Radiator Screams

Alongside the Guardians' attraction transformation, the popular Cars Land also turns into a spooky Halloween world. From August 23 to October 31, 2024, Radiator Springs becomes Radiator Screams, where the residents decorate their shops festively and appear in creative “Car-stumes.” Visitors can experience two attractions specially re-themed for the season: Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree becomes Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, and Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters becomes Luigi’s Honkin’ Haul-O-Ween.

Throughout Cars Land, guests are greeted with thematic decorations and creative re-imaginings, such as the imposing spider car at Flo’s V8 Café or the “zombie” car in front of Lizzie’s Radiator Springs Curios, desperately trying to come back to life. These details, combined with the nightly takeovers by supernatural spirits, create an immersive atmosphere that delights both children and adults.

Culinary Highlights and Special Celebrations

In addition to the attractions, Cars Land offers a special culinary experience during Halloween Time. Visitors can look forward to unique Halloween-themed food items like spicy mac-and-cheese ice cream and mango-habanero chicken strips. Additionally, Ramone celebrates Día de los Muertos in his workshop, where an elaborate “Ofrenda” is dedicated to the late Doc Hudson.

These extensive Halloween activities and transformations make Disney California Adventure Park a must-visit destination for anyone looking to enjoy the Halloween season fully.
