During Halloween at Disney Springs, you can stroll among Halloween entertainment, decorations, photo backdrops, treats, and more. The Halloween fun has already begun, and more fun arrives in September. Entertainment is offered Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.
Stop by the Disney Photopass Studio in the Marketplace area for a quick photo session with a variety of themed backgrounds. No reservations are needed for this experience and the photos are so fun! There are two photo spots, one provides virtual backgrounds, and the other uses props for a fun fall family photo.

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is a ticketed after-hours event that takes place on select nights at Magic Kingdom Park from August 7 through October 31, 2026. During this special event, guests are encouraged to wear Halloween costumes, and kids can trick-or-treat for candy throughout the theme park. There are also special Halloween food and beverage items available for purchase that are exclusive to the event.
The entertainment during this event is also top-notch. From Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular, a Halloween fireworks show, to Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, there’s an entire schedule of exciting Halloween entertainment for party guests.
NEW FOR 2026
Join Stitch and his pals Lilo and Angel at Rockettower Plaza Stage in Tomorrowland—where Stitch is hosting an ever-changing masquerade. After getting his paws on Lilo’s Costume Trunk, every accessory he tries on sparks a theme swap—keeping the party playfully unpredictable all night long.
Then, sail over to Adventureland, where Captain Jack Sparrow has dropped anchor to lead a swashbuckling series of pirate antics.
Characters are also dressed up in their Halloween best for photo ops throughout the park, and attractions are open with shorter wait times than during a normal park day.
More Disney Villian characters are around throughout the party for photo opportunities and spooky fun.
Tickets for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party range from $89 to $199 ($10 less for kids ages 3 to 9) depending on the date.

Minnie’s Halloween Dine
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, families can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner at Hollywood and Vine during Minnie’s Halloween Dine, when Minnie and her friends dress in Halloween attire and greet guests. Hollywood and Vine is a fantastic place to dine and interact with characters, and serves up both an impressive grown-up buffet and a buffet full of kid-friendly options.
During this event, characters visit each table and pose for photos in their Halloween best. Silly, spooky music plays in the background as well, making it a fun way to celebrate Halloween as a family.
Breakfast pricing is $49 per adult and $33 per child (ages 3 through 9). For lunch and dinner, the cost is $64 per adult and $44 per child.
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit at EPCOT
For something low-key and fall-themed at EPCOT, purchase a map for Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit from September 25 to November 2, 2026.
For $11.99 you’ll receive an adorable pumpkin-shaped map to locate 12 different Disney character-themed pumpkins. Here’s why we love it.
Where to see Halloween decorations at Walt Disney World
At Magic Kingdom, day guests can see Main Street, U.S.A. decorated for Halloween without buying a separate event ticket. Halloween displays, Mickey pumpkins, and more are throughout the area, making it a great time to capture some sweet fall photos of your family.
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground
Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is full of Halloween decor thanks to enthusiastic guests. Plus, it is home to pony rides for little ones, a favorite petting zoo style activity in Orlando.
There are also gorgeous cabins at the campground!
To check out the Halloween decorations at guest campsites of Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground we suggest parking at Disney Springs (which is free) and then hop on the bus to Disney’s Fort Wilderness.
Halloween at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Campground is so popular that the resort is “locked out” from all guests except those who are on the overnight reservation or have a Hoop De Doo Musical Revue reservation, during the week of Halloween.
So, whether you decide to splurge on tickets to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, or keep it lowkey, there are many fun ways to celebrate spooky season at Disney.
