This is Halloween, this is Halloween! And we are SO excited.
Halloween Decorations
Even though we can’t celebrate at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, we CAN still have a frightfully fun time in Magic Kingdom. That’s right, Halloween decorations are up along Main Street, U.S.A. — and Cast Members have donned their Mickey’s Not-So-Scary costumes! Eek!
One of the main ideas behind Disney World is that everything is a “show.” That’s why employees in Disney World are called “Cast Members” and why their uniforms are called “costumes.”
Cast Members are the BEST!
Every single costume you see Cast Members wear has been well thought out as to how it can help tell the story of each particular ride, restaurant, shop, or land. Some costumes have stayed with us over the years and have a special place in our hearts, so let’s look at TEN Disney World costumes that we truly love!
It’s officially SPOOKY SEASON in Disney World!
Magic Kingdom Halloween
We may not be able to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party this year, but that doesn’t mean the holiday is going to pass unnoticed! We confirmed with Cast Members that Magic Kingdom would still be decorating for Halloween.
Yesterday, more holiday decor had started to trickle in, but as of today, Magic Kingdom has officially received its Halloween makeover!
It’s been a tough road to the championship but in the end, only one MagicBand can come out on top!

Disneyland has officially been closed for six months, after its temporary closure began on March 14, 2020. As of this writing, a reopening date has yet to be announced, following a delay of its initial reopening plans.
Smoke Above Disneyland
Now, an organization who represents major theme parks in the state of California, including Disneyland, is calling on the governor to issue the key industry guidelines needed to reopen.
We’ve been keeping a close eye on the availability of Disney Park Pass reservations!
Disney’s Hollywood Studios entrance
Since the parks have reopened, we’ve seen Disney Park Pass reservations for holidays fill up pretty quickly — sometimes even a few months in advance! For example, reservations for Labor Day weekend were full (before some availability was replenished), and we’ve already seen reservations for several of the parks fill up for Halloween.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
