Every autumn, Disneyland Paris transforms into a spook-tacular realm of pumpkins, ghosts, autumn colours and mischievous laughs. The beloved Mickey’s Halloween Celebration cavalcade is back for the 2025 Disney Halloween Festival (1 October to 2 November), bringing both fresh surprises and the comfort of familiar friends. But as always with these seasonal spectacles, change is part of the magic—some new faces join, others have slipped away.
What’s New This Year
Here are the highlights and additions for 2025:
- José Carioca & Panchito join the float with Donald Duck
For the first time, José Carioca and Panchito (from The Three Caballeros) will accompany Donald on his float. - Mickey’s Illusion Manor float with new Halloween outfits
On the finale float, Mickey’s Illusion Manor, Chip ‘n’ Dale appear in brand-new Halloween costumes. - Classic friends return in a vibrant fall world
The cavalcade continues to showcase Goofy, Chip ‘n’ Dale, Daisy Duck, as well as classic characters such as Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar, amidst pumpkins, colourful foliage, lanterns, mushrooms, and hay bales.
What’s Missing / Removed Over Time
While the 2025 cavalcade adds new characters, some characters who used to be part of the parade are no longer present. It seems Disneyland Paris is refining the cast regularly. Here are a few that have disappeared:
- Donald Duck’s nephews (Huey, Dewey, and Louie) are no longer in this year’s parade.
- The Three Little Pigs have been removed in earlier editions.
- Thumper and Miss Bunny (from Bambi) who originally made appearances have also been scrapped in past iterations.
Chip & Dale are now at the back of Mickey’s Illusion Manor float, replacing Donald’s nephews.
