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!
Keep all ages engaged with plenty of special festival activities for junior foodies. New this year (available Sept. 29 to Oct. 31 or while supplies last), join Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit. With the purchase of a souvenir map and stickers, Guests can search around EPCOT for hidden decorative pumpkins themed to Disney Characters. Whether they search for the pumpkins or not, Guests can return their maps to redemption locations in the Park to receive a festival keepsake.
Embark on a Ratatouille-inspired adventure searching for Remy on a scavenger hunt around the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. 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. When you have found them all, bring your map to Disney Traders or World Traveler at International Gateway for a festival souvenir.
Shop & Dine This Fall at Walt Disney World
Love cheese? Use your Festival Passport to find Emile’s Fromage Montage menu items from select Global Marketplaces.

After you’ve collected the stamps, bring your stamped Festival Passport to the Shimmering Sips marketplace for a special dessert served in a festival cup.
Fall into magic at Disney Springs. Discover new fall menu items like the colorful Oogie Boogie DOLE Whip Nachos available at Swirls on the Water until Oct. 31.

Hi! I’ve been reading your site for a while now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Austin Texas! Just wanted
to say keep up the great work!
Quite informative article!! Gives hopes for getting onto a plane again soon.
I had a wonderful experience this summer in Croatia. It’s part of it, called Istria, and the city is Pula. Beautiful city! I was there for ten days, with my family, and we wanted to explore a little bit of the area so we used Google to find out what we can do. The first thing we found was a boat excursion with https://www.vacation-istria.com, and we decided to take a tour. What I can say is that it was great! We took a day tour around the islands of Brioni near Pula, two hours on the boat with lunch, and two hours of swimming on the nice small island! Beautiful nature. Brioni National Park looks great! I just want to tell everyone, not to waste time, let yourself go and enjoy it! I intend to visit that area next year again, and I will do it for sure!
We visited Disneyland Orlando in October 2019. Had a super-duper time. This article reminds me of those days. Thanks for sharing !

had spent for this information! Thanks!
After trying a few car hauling services we found online, I was getting very discouraged about moving my mother-in-law’s car from Florida to Philadelphia. Then I heard about this service and found out they were reasonably priced (within $100 of the car hauler rate) and very communicative. They emailed me a contract, plus the driver’s info so we could add him to our insurance (turned out to be Luke, a really nice guy). We paid their fee plus the cost of Ubers to and from the airport so Luke could go home and voila — the car was there in less than 72 hours. Perfect shape, they had checked out tires, oil and water etc before they left Florida and then had it washed. I was really delighted. They put my mind at ease. Highly recommend them.
Wow! I found your content here very creative and helpful. Thank you so much. I also found some great information here I will keep checking back for more great content. Very happy to read this.

Vail and the other Rocky Mountain resorts are absolutely phenomenal in the summer time. They are definitely better value during the summer season, and there might actually be more to do in the summer than in the winter! (I’m a Vail Valley local of 10+ years btw)
I am glad we are able to travel this summer and the COVID thing is somewhat under control. Thanks for the great article, will share it on social.

Getting a positive report these days seems like a negative response because of the infestation of coronavirus. So one must be careful while travelling and must use precautions so that the person doesn’t catch up with the covid virus. A thought from a website designing company
