As fall approaches, Magic Kingdom has once again donned its familiar decorations, signaling the start of the Halloween season at Walt Disney World.

Walt Disney World's Holiday Services department braved the last two days of storms from Hurricane Debby to install the majority of the decor overnight.



The park is now adorned with the usual pumpkins, garlands, and scarecrows that have become standard over the years. The installation isn't quite complete, with the Mickey head lampost wreaths still to come.





The arrival of fall decor also marks the imminent start of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which kicks off this coming Friday. The event will offer its traditional entertainment lineup, including the "Boo-to-You" parade, Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular Stage show, character meet-and-greets, and trick-or-treating. Guests visiting the park can enjoy the seasonal atmosphere throughout the day, though the special Halloween events are reserved for party ticket holders.

View the full details for the 2024 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, including entertainment showtimes.

I was there last night... near total washout. The CM's were amazing, but a whole lot of stuff got cancelled for the rain. Everyone's ticket was converted to a one-day park hopper good for a year, although everyone received a card with a number to call if they wanted to put their ticket toward an open party night. One observation... The area music was all over the place. In particular, they managed to get "Laughing Place" on the loop near Tiana's, and the full Davy Crockett tune plays in Frontierland (among other things that don't generally play during the daytime hours...). Whoever came up with the Pirate DJ for Adventureland may need to take a breather or to start working for SeaWorld. ETA: I don't want to hear the phrase "Rainy Day/Night Cavalcade" again, nor do I want to line up to wait for such a thing. The family standing next to me told me they waited 45 minutes for the late Boo to You... and we all ended up with three trucks, a banner, and a trailing rope.

Easily the best bite of our trip! It's at Auntie Gravity's in Tomorrowland! It's listed as Candy Corn, but it tastes much more like a cornbread flavor. They have a sundae version with a butterscotch topping and sprinkles, but I went with just the standard cup. I love all things corn, and this blew my expectations out of the water.

Seems Halloween is really catching on in Orlando. I'd expect these to go twice as fast when the Villain's land is open. Just had a wonderful party on Monday, and couldn't recommend more if you're considering any of the remaining dates. It's easily my favorite way to experience the Magic Kingdom. Don't skip the corn soft serve!

Is this year on par for how quickly dates sell out? Seems faster than usual but this also might be the first year I’ve actually paid attention
