1. Autumn Charm Across the Resort
You know how Olaf feels about summer? That’s exactly how I feel about fall! And at Walt Disney World Resort, the autumn season brings a one‑of‑a‑kind transformation. From pumpkins to garlands, wreaths to whimsical décor, the cozy colors of fall come alive across the parks and resorts.
At Magic Kingdom, Main Street, U.S.A. is adorned with russet and orange details, while Fantasyland and Frontierland showcase rich autumn hues. Storybook Circus is a highlight this year with pumpkin décor inspired by Dumbo and Timothy Mouse—absolutely gourd‑geous! Even resort hotels join the celebration, making every stroll a seasonal treat.
2. Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party
No fall trip is complete without experiencing Mickey’s Not‑So‑Scary Halloween Party. Returning to Magic Kingdom on select nights, this after‑hours event features the fan‑favorite Boo‑to‑You parade, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, trick‑or‑treating around the park, and the dazzling Disney’s Not‑So‑Spooky Spectacular fireworks. Guests of all ages can wear costumes and enjoy limited‑time snacks, exclusive merch, and lower wait times for attractions.
3. A Fang‑Tastic Transformation at Disney Springs
Halloween spirit takes flight at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, now transformed into a nostalgic fright‑fest through November 4. With eerie eats and sinister sips, this limited‑time overlay is a fall must‑do. The standout? Alien Invader Sliders—cheddar‑chive biscuits paired with Nashville hot chicken. Deliciously haunting!
4. EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
Running through November 22, the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is the ultimate fall tradition. With more than 90 new food and beverage items in 2025, plus returning favorites, this festival is packed with global flavors. Live entertainment, unique merch, and cultural marketplaces elevate the experience beyond just dining.
Families can also enjoy Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit, a scavenger hunt with decorative character‑inspired pumpkins and a spooky keepsake prize while supplies last. Foodie fun and family adventures combine for the perfect autumn outing.
5. Seasonal Thrills at Hollywood Studios
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, fall delivers thrills and chills. Guests can brave The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, enjoy “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After,” or soak in cooler nights at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Dining takes a festive twist at Minnie’s Halloween Dine inside Hollywood & Vine, where Minnie and friends don their Halloween costumes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
6. Wild Adventures at Animal Kingdom
Autumn is the ideal time to explore Disney’s Animal Kingdom. The Maharajah Jungle Trek offers a chance to see Basko, a young Sumatran tiger, and other animals enjoying seasonal treats.

Plus, excitement is building for the debut of the “Zootopia: Better Zoogether” 4‑D show at the Tree of Life Theater, opening November 7, 2025.
