Since Halloween is almost here, you've probably already heard how this year, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party was tragically canceled in lieu of the COVID-19 outbreak. But to compensate for it, there is still a lot going on around the park all the way through to November.
Halloween, and autumn/fall in general, are celebrated in full fervor at the park, and you can expect decorations weeks before its actual arrival, too long after it's gone. So even if you miss out on Halloween itself, there's plenty more you can do.
Some of the key happenings and highlights to look forward to during this time include:
Character appearances in costume
What could be more exciting than Mickey, Minnie, and other iconic Disney characters appearing in costume? You'll have all this and more to look forward to during your visit to the park, whether you go before Halloween or a little after.
It's safe to expect sightings of your favorites each year, even if things are a little different in 2020. If you head to Disney for Halloween next year or happen to be there this year, keep an eye out for Halloween-themed character costumes!
Costumes and dress up till October 31st
Since the party is canceled, Disney had announced in July that guests could come to the park in costume, and this includes guests above the age of 14
This is a once in a lifetime kind of thing because otherwise, the park does not allow guests above a certain age to dress in costume except for special occasions like their Halloween parties, etc.So if you happen to be visiting, take advantage of this special opportunity!
Unlimited snacks and merchandise
Stock up on memorabilia and merchandise when you head to Disney and enjoy one-of-a-kind goodies such as all their fall treats, Halloween themed snacks, and plenty more.
Lose yourself in a world of pumpkin spice goodness, hot chocolate, and all sorts of delicious foods and drinks. Check out some of the most popular items here.
Mini parades all around the parks
To avoid crowding and large groups forming, the park has also initiated surprise mini-parades that allow you to witness your favorite characters, mini shows, and feel that Disney magic despite the difficult circumstances.
Here's hoping Disney World stays as magical as it is, and we’re able to celebrate Halloween in the craziest ways next year!
