Who’s excited for the Halloween season in Disney World? Raise those hands!
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is one of the major highlights of the season, running on select dates in August, September, and October. It’s rife with exclusive entertainment and fun offerings, but it’s also POPULAR, and some dates are sold out for the 2026 event!
Some may argue that the snacks in Magic Kingdom outrank the meals, and while there is a long list of ones I love here, there are some snacks I straight out avoid!
Snickers Popcorn Mix
We have dozens of snacks that we LOVE at Magic Kingdom, and some are even a tradition for us to grab every time. But even we at DisneyFoodBlog can admit that we can’t feasibly eat everything in one day, and we certainly wouldn’t want to (can you imagine trying to go on RIDES after all that snacking?!). So, how do you choose what to eat? Do you pick the most popular treats? Which ones are worth your money and stomach space? We’re here to let you know our thoughts.
If you used to visit Disney Springs and then hop on a Disney bus to head to a resort for even more Disney magic, your plans need to change because Disney is now enforcing a new bus rule!
Disney Bus
Disney Springs is now limiting the Disney buses to Walt Disney World resort guests only! Here’s everything you need to know about this new rule.
When visiting Disney theme parks, there are many rules – – both official and unofficial – – that guests have to follow.
Disney Springs transportation rules
That’s especially true this summer, as Disney is enforcing some new (and old) rules at both Disney World and Disneyland.
While June 2026 didn’t see any major Disney World openings like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad or the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets like the months before it, the halfway mark of the year still saw some major announcements at the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Cinderella Castle
From new details on a highly anticipated land to new restaurants, shops, festival entertainment lineups, and more, there are a lot of Disney announcements to sift through in June.
July is gearing up to be a HOT summer at Walt Disney World, with guests eager to experience new additions like the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, Soarin’ Across America, and Bluey’s Wild World. And throughout July, Disney World hotel guests have more of a chance to experience these new attractions through Extended Evening Hours!
Magic Kingdom at night
Extended Evening Hours offer two extra hours to guests staying at Disney Deluxe Tier or Deluxe Villa resorts after the park closes to the general public.
One of Magic Kingdom’s most beloved classic attractions is heading into a major overhaul, and if you’re planning a trip this summer or fall, this is absolutely something you need to know about.
Carousel of Progress
Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress will close for refurbishment beginning July 6, 2026, with an expected reopening sometime in 2027. That’s a significant chunk of time offline, but the reason behind the closure makes the wait genuinely exciting. Here’s everything you need to know about the closure, what’s changing, and why this update is actually a really big deal.
With Disney World being located in Florida, the theme parks see a fair share of weather, including storms and hurricanes.
It’s hurricane season!
If you’re planning a Disney World trip between June and November, there’s a real chance you’ll have to deal with a tropical storm or even a full-on hurricane. And trust me, as someone who lives here and has done Disney during hurricane season more times than I can count, there are ways to plan smart and protect your vacation.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
