Spooky Season is Calling
It might still be spring, but Disney is already conjuring up the spirit of October. As part of the annual Halfway to Halloween celebration, we’ve received an exclusive look at the merchandise collections set to materialize at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort later this year. From haunted apparel to eerie accessories, the 2026 lineup looks like it’ll be a treat for fans of the classic orange-and-black aesthetic and those attending the major after-hours parties.
Classic Character Collections
The primary Halloween collection for 2026 leans heavily into a nostalgic color palette of vibrant orange and deep black. Disney’s design team has confirmed that these items will be available at the parks on both coasts, with many pieces featuring specific Disneyland or Walt Disney World logos so you can represent your home park. Select items will also make their way to DisneyStore.com for those who can’t make it to the parks in person.
Key highlights from the apparel line include:
- Layering Pieces: A new Headless Horseman Hoodie and a festive Hockey Jersey are perfect for those cooler autumn nights.
- Cozy Gear: Men’s PJ pants and a “Happy Halloween” Women’s Crewneck offer a softer way to celebrate the season.
- Specialty Plushes: Haunted Mansion fans should keep an eye out for the Sally Slater plush, themed after the iconic tightrope walker from the Stretching Room. Experiment 626 is also joining the fun as a Vampire Stitch plush.
Accessories and DIY Headbands
The 2026 season is putting a major focus on customization. One of the most interesting reveals is the Create-Your-Own Headband. This allows guests to mix and match mini plush characters, including a bat, Mickey Mouse, and Minnie Mouse in pumpkin forms, to create a unique look. If you prefer a more traditional style, classic Halloween Ear Headbands and Black Bat Ears will also be available.
Jewelry lovers have plenty to look forward to as well. Expect to see Bat Ear Hat earrings, Mickey Mouse Halloween Wreath earrings, and a striking Spiderweb Purple Bow necklace. For those looking for a functional souvenir, keep an eye out for the “purchase with purchase” tote bag featuring Mickey & Friends, which is usually offered at a discount when you spend a certain amount at select merchandise locations.
Oogie Boogie Bash Exclusives
For guests heading to Disney California Adventure Park for the separately ticketed Oogie Boogie Bash, there is a dedicated line of merchandise specifically for the event. This collection shifts the color story to neon greens, deep purples, and blacks, perfectly capturing the vibe of the villainous host.
The 2026 event hoodie features a neon patterned lining and green stitching with Oogie Boogie front and center. Because these items include the event logo and the year, they tend to be highly sought-after collectibles. If you’re attending the bash, you’ll also find an event-exclusive Adult Tee that’s perfect for a night of trick-or-treating through the immersive treat trails.
Planning Pro-Tips
- Check the Logos: Remember that certain shirts and hoodies will have park-specific branding. Double-check you’ve grabbed the right coast before heading to the register!
- Party Availability: Event-specific merchandise for Oogie Boogie Bash or Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is typically only available to guests with a valid event wristband during party hours.
- Mobile Order: During peak spooky season, some high-demand items may be available via mobile order in the park apps to help you skip the long merchandise lines.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect outfit for a night at the Magic Kingdom or a cozy hoodie to wear while watching movies at home, this year’s collection offers a magical blend of spooky and stylish.
