We talk a LOT about when you should visit Disney World. There are dozens of factors to consider, like weather, holidays, crowd levels, current discounts, special events, and more! But for our holiday enthusiasts who can’t decide when to visit the parks, we have a solution!
Torn between trick-or-treating or caroling? Can’t make up your mind on the Halloween vs. Christmas debate? Worry no more — we know the perfect time to visit Disney World so you can experience BOTH holidays!
For a short period of time between October and November, holidays collide and seasons mix together in Disney World. We’re talking about that sweet spot from October 31st to November 1st when Disney has its feet in two seasons.
As you know, Halloween falls on the last day of October. As you also know, many hard-core holiday fans begin celebrating on November 1st. From a decorating perspective, this doesn’t leave Disney much time to transform the parks from Halloween to Christmas, so we typically start seeing holiday decorations pop up around the parks before Halloween is over!
Theoretically, you could visit Disney World on Halloween, then start celebrating the holiday season the very next day!
Not only that, but if you time it right, you’ll see both Halloween AND Christmas merchandise in some of the larger gift shops. You can kill two birds with one stone!
If you’re lucky, you might even be able to snag some end-of-season deals!
Late October/early November is one of those rare times of the year when you get to experience DOUBLE celebrations (or TRIPLE if you count the 50th Anniversary celebration), so if you can’t decide between the two holidays, choose both! In the meantime, stay tuned for more Disney planning tips and news announcements!
