Spending Halloween at Walt Disney World is always a good idea. Unlike the later part of the holiday season, you don't have so many crowds, you still have decent weather and frankly, it's when the things that are MOST FUN finally happen. While we love all of Disney's festivals and parties year-round, there's nothing that quite compares to the outdoor kitchens at the Food and Wine Festival, the Halloween events, and the fall-themed treats all over the Disney Parks. Here's everything you can do for Halloween at Walt Disney World.Â
Everything you Can do in the Fall at Walt Disney World
We write a lot about fall at Walt Disney World simply because we think it's absolutely the most magical time of year! And it's our favorite season. Hopefully, this will help you take a quick look at all there is to offer and then choose what you think you'll definitely want to make time for on your next trip!
Main Street Trolley Show at Magic Kingdom- Autumn Overlay
Cost: FREE with admission
The Main Street Trolley singers get a magical fall overlay to their usual dance and song with fall-themed songs, costumes, and decorations for the trolley. This is a free show that pops up on Main Street USA in Magic Kingdom every day. Check out the Main Street Trolley page for the details and add this to your plans. It's totally worth it, cool to see, and a nice more up-close treat than the larger-than-life castle shows.
Epcot's International Food and Wine Festival
Cost: FREE with admission
Epcot's Food and Wine festival combines outdoor kitchens with cultural cuisine, foodie experiences, shows, and kid-friendly activities like Remy's Hide and Squeak scavenger hunt. This festival is best when you visit during the day, Monday-Thursday. Absolutely one of our favorite experiences for the family that cooks together. If you've never been to this event, check out our Food and Wine Festival Tips and if you're traveling with kids there's a whole slew of things you should know to make sure they have a great time with all the kid-specific perks of this event. You can also see the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and take part in classes and presentations on food! Perfect for the family that cooks together.
Halloween Treats at all Four Disney Parks
Cost: Usually 8 bucks or less!
Nothing says fall like caramel apples, pumpkin lattes, and hot cider. Luckily, every park usually has something special brewing in the kitchen for the fall menus and treat stations around the parks.
Fall Decorations at DisneyÂ
Cost: FREE with Admission
We love vacationing in the fall at Walt Disney World. Decorations can be found in the parks and at the resorts. And if you're looking for a free Disney day, take a trip around the Monorail Resorts, for a look at how things can get extra spooky. Almost all the Disney Resorts get new Halloween merchandise in the gift shops and new haunting treats in the bakery cases.Â

Minnie's Halloween Dine at Hollywood Studios Hollywood and Vine
Cost: ~60/person
This Halloween character meal is a buffet; all you care to enjoy. We love the extra fun of our favorite characters in costumes. Much like Akershus in Epcot Norway and Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom, the thrill of getting all the character photo ops without having to wait in line for them at the Halloween Party is HUGE! You'll get to see the Fab Five at Minnie's Halloween Dine. So plan to see Mickey, Mickey, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy. Absolutely makes it worth it. Dining options are available now.
Fall Flavors at Disney SpringsÂ
Cost: Usually 8 bucks or less!
No matter what Halloween treats you are hoping to find, Disney Springs will have it. From caramel flavored, pumpkin flavored, cinnamon-flavored..and more, if it's a fall flavor, you can find it. We like Sprinkles for cute cupcakes, Amorette's Patisseries for fancy desserts, and The Ganachery for the best chocolates. Keep an out for the WonderFall Restaurant Crawl. You can usually grab a guide at the Information Center.
Fall Merchandise during Halloween at Walt Disney World
Cost: Varies
The merchandise for Halloween begins arriving in early September and comes in full force once October hits. Special tees, for the party, pass holder merchandise, and the new Halloween season arrives alongside flavored popcorn, treats, decor, and stuffed animals. So spooky. So fun!
Walt Disney World Halloween Things to Do
If you're looking for an extra special way to build a new Halloween tradition in your family, add a Disney Vacation to your list. There is so much to do and see and it changes every year. So, you're always in for a surprise. It's also a great way to get everyone into costume, and out of the house! No matter what Fall events at Disney strike your fancy, you can be sure there is always something fun about being in the parks during the holidays. Try to visit in September before the crowds get crazy:)
