MUST SEE VIDEO: The Magical Switch from Halloween to Christmas at the Magic Kingdom
If you have been following along with us, you already know that Halloween is over at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World and Christmas has arrived – literally overnight! And, one of the things that I look forward to every year is catching a glimpse of the magic that makes this transformation year after year.
It all starts the moment the last Guest walks out of the Boo Bash After Hours on Halloween night(or, in previous years, Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party). It’s then that Cast Members from Walt Disney World’s Holiday Services department come in to take down the Mickey Head Halloween Wreaths and start hanging the holiday garland.
Since the Halloween to Christmas decoration switch has to be complete by the time the first Guest steps foot onto Main Street U.S.A. the morning on November 1, these Cast Members have to work with a quickness through the night.
Thank to Twitter User, @AshleyLCarter1, we have our first look at this year’s overnight “switch” in this video clip below:

While November 1 marks the start of the holiday season at Walt Disney World, decorations will continue to go up over the next few weeks. Usually, the last decoration to be completed in all of Walt Disney World is the iconic gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. That should be completed by November 13, 2021 if I were to guess.
And, if you are really looking to get a taste of holiday magic this year, make sure to check out Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours events! The first holiday-themed After Hours is scheduled for November 8 and will take place several nights throughout the holiday season. This separately ticketed event features extra holiday magic with complimentary holiday treats, popcorn, soda; two fireworks shows; the first parade to march down Main Street U.S.A. since the parks reopened after the extended COVID closure, and so much more!
