Eileen Ogintz, nationally syndicated columnist of “Taking the Kids,” reviews the many festive fall fun family events taking place this autumn in Orlando for sponsor, Walt Disney World Resort.
Pumpkins, scarecrows, Halloween treats, decorations and not-so-scary thrills are part of the festive fall fun at Walt Disney World Resort.
Walt Disney World Resort is decked out for fall through Halloween, Oct. 31, 2022. At Magic Kingdom Park, stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. where pumpkins and scarecrows are everywhere. How many can you count?
Look for your favorite Disney Characters dressed in their Halloween best. Shop for your own Halloween garb – we love the Mickey Mouse Jack-o’-Lantern Light-Up Necklace available across Walt Disney World Resort and shopDisney- and stop for a pumpkin-spiced treat.
Discover Festive Fall Fun at Walt Disney World
Fall is a great time to visit Walt Disney World Resort because it’s less crowded, the weather is cooler and there’s plenty to experience for all ages.
The return of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicked off a fall full of fun. The special Ticket event (Theme Park admission before 7 p.m. is separate) is offered at Magic Kingdom Park on select nights, after normal Park hours, from 7 p.m. to midnight through Oct. 31.
New for 2022, partygoers awaiting Mickey’s “Boo-to-You” Halloween Parade can ‘Stand Out’ and dance their way onto Main Street U.S.A. with a majorly awesome ‘90s crew led by Max Goof cosplaying as Powerline, his favorite pop superstar!
Tip: The planDisney team suggests families with young children sleep late, spend the day enjoying their hotel and take an afternoon nap to prepare for the night’s exciting events.
Also new this year, Guests can join zombies and cheerleaders at the ZOM-BEATZ BASH! as they BAMM out to music inspired by the ZOMBIES original movies on the Disney+ streaming channel.
Fall Treats and New Tastes For Families
Several classic attractions at Magic Kingdom Park will be colorfully costumed for Halloween during the festivities. If you have tickets to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, be sure to check out Mad Tea Party, Space Mountain, Haunted Mansion and the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.
Guests can trick-or-treat their way through the Park and indulge in delicious sweets.
Festive Fall Brings Foodies to EPCOT
Foodies of all ages, meanwhile, won’t want to miss EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival presented by AdventHealth going on until Nov. 19, 2022. Park-goers strolling through six continents at EPCOT enjoy an eat-a-thon with global eats, fine wine, craft beer and cocktails. It’s the place for all ages to sample everything from Belgian waffles to Canadian cheddar and bacon soup to Mongolian Beef Bao Bun, Impossible meatballs, Lamb gyro, a Chesapeake Crab Slider… come hungry!

Purchase your map and stickers (while supplies last) from select festival merchandise locations. When you find a statuette, match the sticker to the location on the map.

Hi,
Great article. The lists were amazing. I would also recommend visiting few Central American countries like Guatemala, Honduras. Honduras has some best family stay accommodations and its way cheaper to learn Spanish while you are travelling. Check our website to know how one can study Spanish while travelling around the country ixbalanquespanish.com/important-learn-spanish-honduras
As per my opinion Mountains are the real beauty of any country but not only a particular country is the the natural beauty of World….. It gives feeling like we are in heaven.

The further I read, the more the better your material is.
Wow, looks good, especially the end. I was looking for that subject for a few days across the nest, however there was nothing valuable. So pleased to achieve your post at the conclusion. I am excited about this subject, and I want to be always conscious of the latest news. That is a joy to see your article and eventually clarify myself.
The more I see, the more the better your content is.
Can you tell me a estimated amount required to spend 6 days in Washington including hotel price . thanks in advance .
Spending quality time with family is always a good thing to do , I have recently visited to Switzerland with my family and booked online experience that was pretty cheap and fun , really like your article appreciated buddy.
Hi, thanks for the huge list of good ideas! I reconnected with an old childhood memory of travelling on house boats.
Wow, that’s a great list. The Free Tours By Foot sounds amazing and such a great way to explore a city. Have you guys ever tried indoor skydiving? It’s not cheap, but it’s a great activity for the whole family. Some of the centers even offer a Virtual Reality experience. With more and more tunnels popping up it’s become quite easy to find a spot nearby. For those interested check out dropzone.com/indoor/ . They’ve got a nifty tunnel finder.
Great post!

Hi There,
Thank you for putting together a list for Fall vacation. It is so informative and exciting. We love the nature! We should be planning a trip to Aspen Mountain, Colorado soon. The infographic on emergency is so well done and very handy for travelers.
visiting california is always enjoyable. thanks for sharing your feelings about california. Have traveled any other countries? I’ve been travelling for last 2 years and I would like to share some of my great experinces with you. do you accept guest post?
Everything in this blog is nice. Fabolous infographic and presentation also. I also want to go there for these types of rides which are shown in this blog.
First of all, you need to find out what type of vacation each member of your family prefers. At lunch, dinner, or watching your favorite TV show in the evening, try discussing your upcoming vacation together. Listen to suggestions from everyone, remember where you have already visited and, taking into account the interests of the child, try to choose the right direction. It should be borne in mind all the details: the possibility of excess spending, the size of the vacation budget, the presence of health problems, interests, hobbies and hobbies. If you are organizing a trip with your child, you will have a wonderful joint vacation!
NYC is a great place to celebrate Halloween, and good opportunities for celebrity sightings too!

What a great present to ask for! I’m so impressed that you managed to find the 40 things to give away and I’m dying to know what the others were.
The moon landing marked the culmination of America’s Cold War human spaceflight program and positioned itself as a global leader in science and technology. Apollo 11, the mission Armstrong and Aldrin flew with colleague Michael Collins, represented the U.S. accomplishing a seemingly impossible goal on a seemingly impossible timeline. Fifty years later, the world is remembering the historic mission and its impact on society and science, thanks to all these 50 COSMIC WAYS TO CELEBRATE SPACE.
I am also a collector of space memorabilia and I run a website dedicated to Space Exploration memorabilia https://www.space-collectibles.com . In fact, I leave in Paris, France. (Yes, that does mean I drink too much wine and eat too much cheese) . Since the age of 21, I became a big fan of Space Exploration as I studied in Cap Canaveral Florida, and worked with the engineers that put Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon. So, this is perhaps the reason why I became a pasionate Space Collectioner of photos from the space race in the 60’s from Nasa and Soviet programs. I whish I could be in all these 50 COSMIC WAYS TO CELEBRATE SPACE

Hey thanks for such a nice article, there is nothing better than getting away with the fam or group of mates into the wilderness and just relaxing while staring into those embers. I go camping regularly and I know you stated unplugged but if you dont play an instrument I highly recommend bringing along a nice loud Bluetooth speaker to jam away with all of you friends into the late night. That and beer ofcourse.
