When the fall is here and the leaves change color, if you are like me, you will look for colder places to travel to, look for apple picking, local amusement parks, pumpkin pie, apple cider and turkey & mashed potatoes!
I had never had the opportunity to visit Walt Disney World (WDW) during the fall, the thought of spending time there in 80°F weather defeated the Fall Fun! Oh….But I was so wrong!
I must confess the Latina in me was soooo happy to return to sunny Florida and nice weather!
WDW in the fall is not only beautiful, it is also extra magical! So much to see and experience!
I spent Halloween Weekend there, one of the best times of the year to enjoy the parks and will share my 5 reasons why you too, should visit WDW in the Fall!
Weather
It’s officially my favorite time to visit. Not only is the weather nice, there are so many exciting things to see, do and taste at Disney Parks in the Fall!!
The Mickey Not So Scary Halloween Party is a must, if you have children with you! I chose to visit the Park during the day with my Hopper Pass, which gave me access to it until 7 PM.
The party officially begins at 7 p.m. inside Magic Kingdom. Party guests are welcome to enter the park starting at 4 p.m., which is recommended. Well before the park closes for the party at 7 p.m., cast members remind guests that the park closes at 7 p.m. All party guests will be given party wristbands upon entering and those guests already in the park will find cast members scanning party tickets and distributing wristbands. At 7 p.m., cast members stationed around the park will be asking guests to show wristbands, if not visible. Guests that do not have them will be directed to the exits.
The Monorail was also interrupted in some parts, due to park closure and to make it easier to allow guests who bought the ticket to enjoy the park. So it is important to check, before booking the party.

Faster Lines
As I said, I chose to visit the park during the day, since I did not have my family there. I had a chance to enjoy some fall treats, shorter lines and my visit gave a new meaning to some of my favorites, like the Haunted Mansion during such a special time! Spooky had a whole new meaning!
Gorgeous Decor
Another great feature is the decor, the leaves, pumpkins, red, yellow and orange everywhere, all festive and ready to celebrate fall!
Amazing Fall and Halloween Filled Stores
All the stores are filled with amazing gifts for the whole family!
Great Weather For Parades
Just remember, parades are outside, so the nice fall weather is also perfect to be outside and dance and sing watching our favorite characters!
The Festival of Fantasy Parade was also super special, here are some of my favorite moments:
All my favorite princesses!
I become a child again, singing and watching the Parades, always my favorite!
There are parades, music shows and so much more, going on all day in Magic Kingdom, for more information, click here.
Let’s talk about Food!
I enjoyed an amazing salad, so I could later indulge in their renowned treats! I loved the candy corn vanilla ice-cream after lunch at StoryBook treats!
My late afternoon snack was one that I personally recommend, the pumpkin fudge and caramel apples from Sweet Spells at Hollywood Studios!
I also had a late afternoon treat! Something I always do with my son when we visit Magic Kingdom and we take a pic! The Mickey Ice Cream! Soooo good!
I must confess I missed my family! As I’ve said, Disney is such a special place for our family, that I’m already planning bringing my family next fall! Costumes and all!
What is your favorite time to visit Walt Disney World? All year long like me???
As usual give us a Trendy Shout!
Your post was extremely motivational, Claudia! I know where I will travel next autumn.
I have never been to WDW and since I do not have children it’s not on the top of my travel bucket list either, but these are great photos, it definitely looks like they dress the place up with great seasonal décor!
Gads, your photos alone make me want to go back to Disney World! I’ve only been there once and it was 2 years ago. We went in October and I loved being there for fall and the Halloween party!
I’ve been to Disney World so many times but never when its decorate for the seasons. One day!
That’s one of my dream destinations. I don’t know if I’d have a fun time without my family, though.
Me and my family go to Walt Disney World quite often because we’re annual passholders but I will agree with you, the Fall season is one of my favorites, especially around the holidays. It’s so festive and beautiful.
Fall would for sure be when I’d want to visit WDW. It looks and sounds just gorgeous! We’ve never been so it’s a must at some point for us!
I can completely imagine how wonderful the park must be in the fall. I think it would be a blast with the family during Halloween, so magical and I think children of all ages would enjoy.
I’ve never thought of going to Disney in the fall time. I just went this past summer in June and it wasn’t to hot but I was really wanting to go for Christmas to see all the lights and shows!

Disney is the BEST in the fall! I love it, and then I see it during Christmas time and love it even more – not sure how that’s possible! It’s seriously such a magical place all year round. Love your pictures!
We went to WDW in July of 2010 and it was super hot. I would love to be able to go in the fall or even around Christmas time. I bet the festive decor is beautiful.
I am sad i missed you at WDW. We will have to meet up next time you’re here. Disney is my home I spend a lot of time there.
It’s been a long time since I last visited Disney and finally were, going there in a couple of weeks. Even the adults are excited about this trip.
Visiting Disney in both fall and winter is my favorite time to visit. I just love all the themed decor and the characters in holiday costumes
My son really love Disney! Disney is such a beautiful and perfect spot for family especially for kids.
It’s been forever since I was at Disney. Although, I was very close this year because the Type-A East conference was at the Contemporary Resort. I didn’t get a chance to visit the park, but after seeing your photo of those candy apples sure wish I had.
I’m not much of a theme park person, but this looks pretty magical. Fall is my favorite season.
You are making me so excited! I haven’t been to Disney World since I was a kid and we are suprising the kids with a trip in January!! I can’t wait to see their reactions!! IT does look like Fall is fabulous time of year!
We are ALLLL about Disney, especially during the fall and holidays! We haven’t missed a fall at Disney in years–we take the kids to Mickey’s Not So Scary for Halloween fun.
oh how fantastic. i lovvvveee your photos. this looks like so much fun
The last time I visited Disney was over 20 years ago…on Columbus Day weekend. We had such a wonderful time and I look forward to visiting with my little boys one day, preferably in the Fall!
I’ve never been to Disney during the fall and it looks so incredibly beautiful and magical! Certainly need to book a trip with the family next year! Thanks for the inspiration and these pics are just gorgeous!
It is a great destination spot any time of the year, but yes, it is something special in the fall. SO MUCH FUN!
Well now I just want to hop on a plane and go. My kids would love it so much and there is just something magical about Fall at Disney!
I haven’t been to Walt Disney World in the fall but it sounds like a treat. I will have to plan for that, maybe next year. I love all the fall colors.
Walt Disney World in the fall would be amazing. I have been hoping to be able to plan a trip soon. The kids would love it.
Halloween is my favorite time to visit Walt Disney World. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is my favorite Disney party. The weather is perfect and the crowds aren’t too bad.
I would love to take the girls to Walt Disney World. This would be a fun time of the year to go. I will have to look into it for next fall.
I think this is a great time of the year to go to Walt Disney World. The weather would be perfect and I love the fall decor.
I have never been to Walt Disney World! I think the fall would be a good time for me to visit with my family.
I have never been to Disney so I can’t answer your question. Probably because I don’t have children. I keep hearing great things about it though
That looks like a great time of year to be there. It would be so much cooler than the summer.
I have been wanting to go to MNSSHP for years!!! It looks like Disney is beautiful this time of the year!
We have only been to WDW during the spring. My goal is to see it during Halloween and during Christmas! Dying to see it actually! Someday I will!
I think I would visit WDW any time of the year!!! Fall does sound amazing. And the treats look so divine!
I would love to go to Walt Disney World! It’s one of the few places I really want to take my son. I think that when we do go it probably would be in the fall I think there would be less kids there because of school.
Fall is our favorite time of year to visit Disney. These pictures are gorgeous
Disney in the fall is just beautiful! I loved all the decorations when I lived there!
I love Disney in the fall. All of their decorations are so beautiful, and their Halloween festival is just amazing.
