There’s no denying that the COVID-19 pandemic isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so it’s fair to say Halloween 2020 will look a little different than it has in previous years. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look back on past All Hallows' Eve celebrations for a sense of nostalgia that is so welcomed during these confusing and trying times. Few places celebrate Halloween like the Disney parks around the world do, making them a joyful go-to when you're in need of a little ghoul-inspired pick-me-up or some Hallows' Eve inspo. Disney World’s Halloween photos are especially comforting these days and will have you virtually traveling to the Florida theme park at a time when a physical visit isn't particularly ideal.

Whether you're longing for the days when you could go to any Disney park or resort around the world without a care in the world, wear a mask to be spooky instead of to keep you and your family safe, or just a sense of normalcy, these photos of the Disney parks at Halloween time are sure to leave you ready for All Hallows' Eve 2020 — no matter how it looks.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse are perhaps the most iconic couple in all of Disney history. So, it only makes sense they'd dress up to match the park's Halloween decorations.

Mickey and Minnie aren't the only characters joining in on the Halloween fun. Goofy is definitely dressing up for the year's scariest night, too.

After opening in the 1950s, Disneyland would keep the Halloween celebrations simple, with either a parade or a haunted house. But in 2006, Disneyland decided to go all out for the holiday due to its growing popularity and the amount of money Americans were willing spending on it each year.

This robot-baby-doll-spider creature was scary enough in Toy Story, so it's only fitting it would be a part of Hang Kong Disneyland's spooky Halloween decorations.

Each year, Disney parks hold a "media day," where reporters can go into the parks and experience all the holiday joy before it's open to the public. This way, would-be park-goers know what to expect before they get a taste of the magic, too.

Disneyland Paris boasts pumpkin-headed painters that can be found throughout its park (just in case you thought the American parks were the only ones going all out).

This is hands-down one of the scarier Halloween decorations one can find in the Disney parks around the world. I'm not totally sure what it is, but I hope I don't see it in my dreams nightmares tonight.
