DisneyHalloween merch is one of my favorite things about spooky season. While you might not associate the House of Mouse with things that go bump in the night, its All Hallows' offerings have been consistently great for years.

That’s why I keep a close eye on Disney Halloween merch each year – and why I’ve narrowed things down to what I think are the very best offerings in 2024. There’s certainly enough to choose from, and plenty is on offer right now as we rattle jauntily toward Halloween itself like Walt’s dancing skeletons from back in the day (early Disney was weird, and I’m here for it).

Personally speaking, my favorites would be the weighted Haunted Mansion blanket – which is cozy enough for you to sleep like the dead – and the autumnal wreath taken straight from Main Street at Disney World. Hoping to get some timelyDisney gifts, on the other hand? I’m a big fan of the glowing pumpkins that can sit on a desk or shelf, while the annual Disney Halloween plushes are always winners. I have the latter myself, and they’ve cheered up the space now the weather is closing in.

Best Disney Halloween decorations 2024

Best cheap1. Light-Up Jack-o'-LanternsCheck Amazon✅ Fairly affordable✅ Bright & cheerful❌ Large sizes OOSAn enormous version of this Jack-o'-Lantern drops onto Disneyland Resort’s Main Street USA every year, and it’s one of those iconic decorations everyone looks forward to seeing. Now you can bring a (admittedly shrunken) version home. While numerous sizes are available for the glowing pumpkins, I’m most taken with the smallest. Besides being the perfect size for a desk or shelf, they bring a touch of Halloween cheer to proceedings without overpowering your space.

No matter what you’re shopping for, speed is of the essence; these spooky bits and bobs are selling out quickly. Luckily enough for us, there are plenty of discounts flying around to sweeten the pot. You can find the full lineup at theUS Disney Store(or at the UK Disney Store if you’re based across the pond), but here are my personal picks that’s I’d suggest prioritizing.

Mickey/Minnie PlushesCheck Amazon✅ Fairly cheap✅ Cheerful design❌ Sold separatelyI’m always partial to the versions with big dark eyes and monochrome design (they look as if they’re from either the 1930s or those more recent shorts), but I actually prefer the ‘standard’ versions this time around. Their costumes feel more attention-grabbing on the whole, and those cheery expressions are very inviting. Mickey is available here in theUS/UK, while Minnie can be found here in theUS/UK.

Creepy cuddle2. Stitch Halloween PlushView at DisneyCheck Amazon✅ Characterful✅ No 2024 stitching❌ Creepy expressionThe adorable alien seems to be the face of Disney Halloween 2024 alongside Mickey and Minnie, so it’s no surprise to see him get his own plushie. This one has Stitch in a purple onesie with cobweb-covered green ears, and he seemsdelightedwith it based on his expression. If you always get the two mice and want a change (or would prefer something without the year stitched prominently onto the foot), this is a great choice.

Seasonal Disney ranges aren’t complete without Mickey and Minnie Mouse in new outfits, and Halloween is no exception. Indeed, there are a couple of different versions for 2024 – you can get the classic characters in their terrifying best or the newer design with those big black eyes and monochrome skin tones. If you buy something else at the store up to a certain value, you can get either pair for less. Because they’re such easy gifts and are fun ways to add a cozy Halloween vibe to your home, they’re top of my list in terms of suggestions.

You can grab Nightmare Before Christmas and Haunted Mansion combo packs, too. There are three in total; either Jack, Sally, or Oogie Boogie come with one of the three Hitchhiking Ghosts, all cozy in Doom Buggy packaging. While I’m not sure I’d shell out the full price for all three as they’re quite expensive, each one is currentlyon offer at Disney US.

Naturally, there’s plenty of other Disney Halloween toys to choose from – you can browse the full rangehere at Disney USor via theDisney UK store. As for what I think you should watch out for, check out these recommendations.

Haunted Mansion Weighted ThrowCheck AmazonCheck stock at Disney UK✅ Extremely cozy✅ Subtle tie-in❌ Quite expensiveI wasn’t expecting this to become my favorite piece of Disney Halloween gear for 2024 when it arrived on my doorstep. But you know what? I take it all back. For starters, it’s devilishly comfortable – the material used here is surprisingly soft, and it feels more lavish than I’d expected due to the raised wallpaper pattern on one side (taken from the Haunted Mansion ride, of course). It’s heavy enough that settling down under it with a cup of hot cocoa guarantees you won’t want to get up again that evening, either.

This can be removed if you want to be a little more subtle. Speaking of which, the wallpaper embossing is an effective tip of the hat to the attraction without going over the top.

Although a lot of attention is paid to Disney Halloween decorations, toys, and costumes, you shouldn’t sleep on its homeware offerings. Everything from utensils to blankets for snuggling up on the sofa have been given the spooky treatment, and they’re actually amongst my favorite Disney merch in 2024.

The Haunted Mansion (the ride, not the movies) has been getting the lion’s share of attention this time around. These don’t feel tacky or phoned in, so as a big fan of the attraction, I’m happy. Thetriple serving bowl set(availablehere for UK readers) is a great example; as well as featuring one of the three Hitchhiking Ghosts that have become the ride’s mascots at the bottom of each bowl, it has a recreation of the bat stanchions found in the attraction at its center. I wouldn’t say these are particularly well-known parts of the Haunted Mansion (they’re on the rope barriers as you walk to your Doom Buggies), so them getting a nod here shows the level of attention to detail on display.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is well represented in this department too. You can get candle-holders, cookie jars, blankets, and more based on the beloved film. While I’m sad the poison soup cup Sally uses to feed Doctor Finkelstein (complete with the holey spoon) hasn’t made a return visit, whathasarrived is just as cool. A Frog’s Breath diffuser? Amazing.

You can see the full rangehere(orhere in the UK), but I’ve rounded up a few personal favorites below.

A lot of the items here are already going on offer, and there are going to be plenty more discounts in the weeks to come thanks to this year’sBlack Friday gaming deals. I suspect some Disney goodies will appear in November’sBlack Friday Lego deals, too. Keep an eye out if you want to save as much as possible!
