A new Halloween Festival has just started at Disneyland Paris, and as always, there are plenty of extra Disney Villains to see and meet in Disneyland Park. Not all of them are particularly special or unusual, but there are a few we haven’t seen in the park for quite some time.
We start at the Royal Castle Stage next to Sleeping Beauty Castle, where you can meet Maleficent and the Evil Queen. This isn’t a traditional meet & greet where you have to join a long queue. Instead, there is first a short appearance by the Villain on stage. They then come down from the stage and choose guests to take photos with.
To see more Villains, we continue towards Fantasyland, where most of the Villains can be found.
At the Castle Courtyard, you can meet Cinderella’s crazy stepsisters and stepmother, the Tremaine family. They are known for their hilarious interactions, and this year is no different. They don’t take photos with a large number of guests. Instead, it is more of a roaming appearance, with the characters moving around among the guests.
Then there is Cruella, another Villain we haven’t seen for quite some time. To see Cruella, head towards the square in front of Meet Mickey Mouse, where she occasionally roams among the guests. Again, this is not a traditional meet & greet.
At The Old Mill, you can see Gaston. Here, a traditional queue is often, although not always, formed to meet him and take photos.
You can also meet the Queen of Hearts next to L’Arbre Enchanté. The meet & greet with the Queen of Hearts is a completely traditional meet & greet, including a (long) queue.
If we head towards Adventureland, there is another traditional meet & greet with Jafar. Jafar, just like Captain Hook, who also appears in Adventureland, isn’t always exclusive to the Halloween Festival. Captain Hook, in particular, can be met almost all year round, so he isn’t really something special for Halloween. It had been quite some time, however, since Jafar had last appeared in the park.
For the final Disney Villain you can meet, head towards Frontierland, near Cowboy Cookout Barbecue, where you will once again find a traditional queue to meet Dr. Facilier.
These are all the Disney Villains you can meet during the 2026 Halloween Festival. Of course, there are also other Halloween meet & greets with different characters, but they aren’t necessarily Disney Villains.
Unfortunately, quite a few Disney Villains are missing as well, even though they could make the Halloween Festival much more fun. For example, Frollo, Ratcliffe, Shan Yu, the Old Hag, Yzma, Hades, the Sheriff, and many more.
