Minion Bello-ween Greeting 2026 lets you meet Minions in Halloween-only costumes
During USJ Halloween 2026, “Minion Bello-ween Greeting” will be held.
The biggest draw is getting to meet Minions dressed in Halloween costumes that appear only during this season. They welcome guests in wildly playful looks that are a little different from the Minions you usually see.
Because this is a greeting, it is more than simply watching the Minions. You can enjoy interacting with them up close, reacting to their antics, and getting into the Halloween spirit together.
Locations are near the park entrance, under the canopy, and in front of Minion Park.
It is a bright, lively Halloween experience that is easy to enjoy even if nighttime horror is not your thing or you are visiting USJ with small children.

The biggest 2026 highlight: wildly playful costumes you can only see now
The first thing to look for at Minion Bello-ween Greeting is, of course, the Halloween-only costumes.
The Minions are announced as appearing in seriously wild and playful costumes. One of the main attractions is seeing these seasonal looks up close, which are different from the Minions you normally meet in the park.
They also put on a small performance when they appear, so try to be at the greeting location before the start time.
Don’t stop at photos! How to enjoy the greeting
The Halloween-only outfits will make you want to take photos, but “Minion Bello-ween Greeting” offers more than a commemorative snapshot.
Enjoy the Minions’ signature chaotic movements and the back-and-forth interactions with them.
With children, enjoy their reactions in the moment
If you are visiting with children, the moment they realize, “I met a Minion!” is worth cherishing.
Rather than focusing only on getting a perfectly composed photo, waving and reacting to the Minions’ movements can make the experience feel more natural and fun for your child.
Even the expression on their face when they spot a Minion in a Halloween look can become part of a family memory.
Keeping the three locations in mind makes the greeting easier to fit into your day
There are three greeting locations: “near the park entrance,” “under the canopy,” and “in front of Minion Park.”
The area under the canopy is close to souvenir shops, Beverly Hills Boulangerie, and the Jujutsu Kaisen 4-D Theater, making it easy to reach and convenient to time with nearby plans.
If you are heading to Minion Park, you can reduce extra walking by grouping the greeting with nearby experiences such as “Minion Hacha-Mecha Mission” in the same time slot.
The greeting can make your day at USJ not only “a day for rides,” but also “a day to meet seasonal characters.”
If meeting the Halloween Minions is a priority, you are more likely to feel satisfied by building it into your day in advance rather than leaving it until later and trying to find them.
The event name has changed from 2025
In 2025, a greeting with Halloween-costumed Minions was held under the name “Minion Monsters Greeting.”
The official 2026 name is “Minion Bello-ween Greeting.”
If you are searching for “Will Minion Monsters Greeting be back this year?”, remember that the name has changed in 2026. That will also make it easier to find on the official schedule.
However, the 2025 content cannot simply be treated as the lineup for 2026. To know which Minions appear in which costumes in 2026, check the actual event and any future official announcements.
Minion Bello-ween Greeting 2026 summary
At USJ in 2026, “Minion Bello-ween Greeting” runs from Thursday, September 10 through Sunday, November 8.
The main appeal is getting to interact up close and have fun with Minions wearing Halloween costumes you can only see during this season.
Instead of taking one photo and moving on, take time to look at the costume details, watch the Minions’ reactions, and enjoy the lively atmosphere around the greeting.
Greeting times vary by day, and show schedules are posted from about one week before your planned visit.
If meeting the Minions is something you are looking forward to, check the times before your visit and make sure to include the greeting in your USJ plan for the day.
