Disney Fall | Vacations, Cruises, Decor, Recipes

Adding a little more Disney to your Fall months is always a good idea. From cozy Mickey pumpkins to a Disney Halloween, pumpkin spice scones, and all things Nightmare Before Christmas. Here are some of our favorite ways to add more magic to the Fall season running from August- November.

Walt Disney World in the Fall

Fall at Walt Disney World includes many things. As such it pays to go with a plan! With events and activities running from August through November, there is plenty to do at Disney World in the fall. While Magic Kingdom does decorations best, you can also find special things for fall in Epcot and Disney Springs too. Plus all the parks and resorts have specialty seasonal fall snacks. Check out What’s New this Fall at Walt Disney World for the lineup before you go so you don’t miss a thing! 

So why should you visit Disney in the fall? While we can give you more than 5 Reasons to Visit Walt Disney World in the Fall we’re not going to cover all of that here! Instead, let us just share that Walt Disney World in the fall months is worth the trip! September still sees lighter crowds and cheaper rates than most times of the year and is one of our favorite times to visit for better weather.  If you’re considering a Disney Vacation then check out The Magic That Can Happen When It’s Autumn at Walt Disney World.
