Disneyland Resort is going all out to celebrate Halloween Time, including inviting the cast of the supernatural series "Coven Academy" to join in on the fun.

For stars Malina Pauli Weissman and Louis Thresher, it was their first time at the resort.

"It's literally so much fun. We just had a pickle. That was really, really fantastic," Weissman told On The Red Carpet.

Currently at Disney California Adventure Park's Hollywood Backlot, is a "Coven Academy"-themed photo op, which we got to explore with the cast.

Weissman explained, "Doing it with them is the best, and seeing this installation in person is so much fun. So special."

"I have a lot of pride. I'm so proud of us," Thresher added.

That's not the only spooky fun in the park. Disneyland Resort Ambassador Arielle Harris walked us through some other can't-miss Halloween Time sites and attractions in the resort.

"We are here outside of 'Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout,' which transforms into 'Monsters After Dark' at sunset. Inspired by Pixar's 'Coco,' we are celebrating Plaza de la Familia through November 2 through beautiful food, entertainment, and of course, celebrating Día de los Muertos through festive decorations. We also have Cars Land, where your favorite 'Cars' characters transform Radiator Springs into Radiator Screams."

In Cars Land, the "Coven" cast took a ride on "Mater's Graveyard JamBOOree," described by Disney as "a haunted hootenanny featuring high-spirited Haul-O-Ween music."

"The magic is all around. You've got to come to Disney for Halloween," star Jordan Leftwich said.

At Disneyland Park, guests are greeted by the iconic Mickey Pumpkin. "You have to get your photo in front of that," said Harris.

In New Orleans Square, "Haunted Mansion" transforms into "Haunted Mansion Holiday," where Jack Skellington is hard at work adding "frightfully festive touches" inspired by "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas."

"I love 'Nightmare Before Christmas,' so to get to see the overlay is so fun, and I love that it's also a good transition into Christmas as well," Emily Nelson told us (@emilynels8).

Around the resort, Mickey and friends are also wearing festive fall outfits.

"I feel like they have a different energy amongst them when they have their like, Halloween outfits on. They're just so spunky, if that's the word," said Thaddeus Yan (@thaddybears).

On select nights, guests can watch the "Halloween Screams" nighttime spectacular, complete with Jack Skellington and his ghostly dog Zero and the Disney villains. Projections happen every night, while fireworks are only on select nights.

Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort runs through Oct. 31.

"Coven Academy" is streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney Parks, Disney+, Hulu and this ABC station.
