8 Ways To Celebrate Autumn at Walt Disney World
If you’ve been following along with us here at MickeyBlog today you’ll know that Autumn has arrived at the “Most Magical Place on Earth.” Seemingly overnight, Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World has transformed from a summer paradise to a rustic Fall festival.
With Autumn in the air, we thought we’d ring in the season by highlighting 6 fabulous ways that you can celebrate Halloween & Fall at Walt Disney World.
Attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Back for 2023, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is an absolute must-do. The first Halloween Party kicks off at Magic Kingdom Park beginning August 11. The special ticketed event runs on select nights through November 1, 2023. The party runs from 7pm to midnight. There’s a whole host of exclusive offerings at the Halloween Party and some NEW “Eerie-sistable Entertainment” including:
- Pirate Band at Adventureland – Adventureland will turn into a swashbuckling soiree with a pirate band and their crew. Get ready for toe-tapping sea shanties and thrill tales of their explorations at sea.
- Meet Max Goof and Powerline – These fan favorites will be hosting a new pop-up party throughout Magic Kingdom before taking to Main Street USA just prior to Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade.
- The Seven Dwarfs are Coming Back – We are excited to share the news that the Seven Dwarfs will once again be on hand to meet guests at the party.
- Extra Villiany Added – Disney announced that even more Disney Villains will be showing up at this year’s Boo-to-You Parade. Be on the lookout for Ursula, Cruella de Vil, the Queen of Hearts, Sanderson Sisters (Minnie Mouse, Daisy Duck, and Clarabell) joining the frightful finale.
