Here is a short wrap-up on what is happening during Halloween around Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line! The comments will have what I think is worth it (or what location(s))

Walt Disney World
Hollywood Studios will have Minnie Mouse and friends dressed up in Halloween costumes for all meals and Hollywood and Vine

Magic Kingdom will have Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party from August 7 to October 31, 2026. A special parade, trick-or-treat lines, and character appearances will be making appearances throughout the park.

At Disney Springs, don’t miss the Halloween overlay at Jock Lindsey’ Hangar Bar!

Disney Cruise Line:
Select ships will have “Halloween on the High Seas” sailings which include a Halloween makeover with decorations, themed events, and character appearances. In the Grand Hall or Atrium, a pumpkin tree will be growing with a name and personality which helps embrace the Halloween spirit. And you can’t forget about costumes, for you and your favorite characters on board! You can’t trick-or-treat without a costume!

Disneyland:
Disneyland has a few different fun fall/Halloween experiences throughout the parks and resorts. Here are some to the top items of note.

Disneyland:

Halloween Screams nighttime spectacular will take over Sleeping Beauty Castle with some iconic villains leading the show.

Haunted Mansion will once again transform into Haunted Mansion Holiday featuring Jack Skellington, Sally, Zero, and Oogie Boogie with a fabulous gingerbread house in the ballroom.

Disney’s California Adventure:

Cars Land will have Radiator Screams where Halloween takes over Radiator Springs from rides, costumes, and the song during the most magical time at Radiator Sprigs (comment below if you know what I’m talking about!)

Plaza de la Familia from August 21 though November 2, 2026. This includes Coco inspired entertainment and merchandise, nods to Dia de los Mu***os, and specialty foods at Paradise Garden Grill

Oogie Boogie Bash is select nights from August 18 through October 31, 2026. This is an after hours event (additional ticket needed) to dress up, trick-or-treat throughout DCA, and interact with unique characters or character costumes that may not be found other times of the year. This year, a new street party will be happening taking inspiration from Haunted Mansion! And I can’t forget about the iconic Villains Grove that takes over Redwood Creek Challenge Trail.

Disneyland Resorts:

Grand Californian - Storytellers Cafe will have a takeover of Mickey’s Autumn Adventures for breakfast/brunch and Clarabelle’s Enchanted Halloween dinner for afternoons.
Disneyland Hotel - Goofy’s Kitchen will have Halloween fun throughout the day.

School might be ending, but that doesn’t mean you can’t start planning for next year!

Take advantage of knowing your school schedule and plan your PTO accordingly (and before other parents can take it off!).

Here are 4 great options so your kids can have an amazing MEA week. Whether you want a tropical break, some excitement at a theme park, or some city exploration, all these are 4 hours or under flights from MSP just waiting for you to make those memories.

Ahh! I don't know what happened in the past month, but I did not do my post going over Halfway to Halloween! I think I believed the drive down to Florida would give me some time to make a post and what do you know, it did not. I was busy just sitting in the car and entertaining a 2 year old. So I will get started on this weekly overview for sure tomorrow. I am looking at everything now and getting my summary.

I'll also add what I think is worth it and what may not be.

If you have any questions on Halloween events across Disney properties and cruise line, put them here and I'll answer them!

And this is why I already have 3 trips planned for next year.

If you want to know more about this new method, don’t hesitate to reach out to learn how to utilize it to your advantage… I mean, to ensure you are prioritizing correctly.

In all seriousness, money comes and goes so why not enjoy life a little bit more? Besides, I know I’m always happier when I have something fun to look forward to.

Have I been to Disney many times? Yes

Have I taken my child before? Yes

Is it the same every time? No

Each time you experience the park, you learn new things. Each age is a different experience that you weren’t fully prepared for. Your child is older. Has different emotions. Has different needs and wants. There is something new to tackle each time.

This isn’t only centered around children. The adults change too. Jobs and stress level. Based on the sleep from the night before. Are we drinking alcohol this trip or not. So many factors go into everyone’s wants and needs that it’s hard for even two people to be aligned.

But the fun part is learning something new from each trip! What worked, what didn’t. What I would recommend for other clients to help them have the best time.

Take it from someone who knows, no trip is ever perfect. But having the best resources will make it as close as possible.

When you’re ready to improve your vacation planning, don’t forget about me, your future travel advisor, waiting to help you have your best vacation to date.
