Guardians of the Galaxy: Monsters After Dark

As Halloween Time at the Disneyland® Resort expands to Disney California Adventure Park, you will discover a new adventure when night falls at The Collector’s Fortress. Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark picks up moments after the events of Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!, which continues throughout the season during daylight hours. 

While escaping The Collector’s Fortress, the Guardians have accidentally left Groot behind, so Rocket needs your help to find and rescue his little buddy. But along with the creatures that have been accidentally released inside The Collector’s Fortress, one terrifying monster you will encounter is Surtur’s Fire Dragon, seen in the artist’s rendering above from Walt Disney Imagineering.  This terrifying monster will also appear in the upcoming “Thor: Ragnarok” in theaters on November 3, 2017.

Help save Groot at Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark, each night during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, September 15 - October 31, with Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! continuing throughout the season during the day.
