There’s a lot to do and enjoy at Disneyland Paris. From classic Disney rides like Peter Pan’s Flight and Haunted Mansion to more unique and exclusive experiences like Crush’s Coaster and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, a day at Disneyland Paris can be both similar to one at Disneyland in California and totally different.

The Halloween season is in full effect at Disneyland Paris. Beginning on October 1 and lasting through November 2, 2025. Guests can enjoy a number of tricks and treats during the event, just like Disneyland’s Oogie Boogie Bash and Walt Disney World’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

“With colourful pumpkins, wickedly-fun decorations and the most adorable ghosts, Disneyland Park is the mwah-ha-ha-happiest of Halloween playgrounds for you to explore,” says the resort. “Just tread carefully on Main Street after dark, as it comes ‘alive’ like never before.”

However, this isn’t all that’s changing, as several rides and attractions are closing, including one of the resort’s most unique offerings.

Disneyland Paris has temporarily closed its Molly Brown riverboat for a brief refurbishment. Guests will find the boat docked at Thunder Mesa Riverboat Landing from now until October 17, with the riverboat expected to return the following day, October 18.

Like Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s riverboats, guests will find Disneyland Paris’ Molly brown at Frontierland.

Disney World’s riverboat, The Liberty Belle, closed permanently in July, along with the rest of Magic Kingdom’s Rivers of America. These artificial waterways have flowed through the park since its very beginning, adding to Magic Kingdom’s visual style and list of attractions.

Along the rivers, guests could find both the Liberty Belle as well as Tom Sawyer Island, two of Disney’s most unique attractions. Guests will now find construction walls blocking these areas as work begins on transforming the Rivers of America into a new location: Piston Peak.

Inspired by Pixar’s Cars franchise, Piston Peak will usher in a new age for Magic Kingdom and the park’s Frontierland. Visitors can expect to find a number of attractions here, including one “E-Ticket” thrill ride, which is expected to be similar to Disneyland’s Radiator Springs Racers.

Magic Kingdom’s Rivers of America were drained over the last few months, with demolition set to take place soon.
