Throughout the year, "Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!" captivates visitors of the Disney California Adventure Park with its humorous story and exhilarating drops. However, during the Halloween season, from September 1 to October 31, 2023, there's a special twist in store. The attraction takes a darker turn, becoming "Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark", where monsters, chaos, and Rocket's heroic attempt to rescue Groot take center stage.

In the original attraction, Rocket is on a mission to free his comrades from the captivity of the mysterious Collector, Taneleer Tivan. Yet, in the Halloween version of the story, visitors experience a new drama: After the successful rescue, Rocket realizes that Groot has been left behind. Every second counts as guests attempt to distract the rampaging monsters while Rocket saves his little buddy.

A particular highlight of this experience is the attraction's transition into the darkness. The Collector's Fortress is enveloped in alarms and special light effects, signaling to visitors that something inside has gone amiss. For those curious about the exact timing of this spectacular transformation, further details can be found on the Disneyland app or the Disneyland website.

Upon entering the fortress's lobby, guests are met with a spine-chilling atmosphere. Flashing alarms and eerie noises echo throughout, indicating that creatures have broken free from their cages. But fear not, the Collector's astute assistant, Apheta, assures that everything is under control – or is it?

Enhancing the experience is the song "Monsters After Dark", inspired by the 1970s punk rock era. Crafted by Tyler Bates, the talented composer behind the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies, this track promises to elevate the adrenaline even further.

So, make sure to plan a visit to the Disney California Adventure Park during the Halloween season – an action-packed adventure awaits you!
