Disney Fall Snacks

• Disney Fall and Halloween Snacks. 

Ok, guys. You knew this one would be at the top of our list because we go crazy for seasonal snacks. Plan to see Pumpkin Spice cupcakes, new spooky sips, and the ever-popular Hades Nachos. You can find Disney Fall Snacks in the parks, resorts, and Disney Springs. Check out all the new FALL Disney snacks.

Wine and Dine Half Marathon 

• Wine and Dine Half Marathon Weekend 

The Wine and Dine Half Marathon is taking on the Disney Villains this fall! Running November 4- 7 this runDisney event comes with a bunch of things you need to know before you go as running events return to Walt Disney World this fall. 

New Disney Fall Merchandise

• Disney Fall Decorations and Merchandise. Arrive mid-August.

So many Halloween and Fall things to buy! Another of our favorite reasons to visit Disney World in the Fall is the merchandise. While we are chronic browsers, we rarely buy these goodies, because airlines have luggage weight limits. But that doesn’t stop us from staring and wishing and wondering how much shipping it directly home would be.

Disney Resorts in the Fall

Disney Resorts get into the feeling of the season as much as the Parks! We love browsing the gift shops, scouting out new fall flavors in the dessert cases, and watching the fun Halloween movies on the lawn. Check out the fun Fall Treats at Disney Resorts because they show up regularly. 

Disney Springs in the Fall

Disney Springs always pulls out all the stops for the fall months at Walt Disney World. Whether it’s a WonderFall Foodie Crawl, Fall into Magic or a Scavenger hunt for all the Fall Disney Treats across the shops. You will be sure to find something fun over at the Disney Springs Info Center to add a little Fall Flavor to your Disney Springs day. 

Disney Decorations in the Fall

So we’ve talked about the magic that can happen when it’s Autumn at Walt Disney World before. And this Mickey Pumpkin Wreath is the guy we look forward to seeing every fall. You can spot fall garlands, wreaths, decorations, and more all over the Disney Parks. We love to revel in the feelings of Fall even when it’s 90 in Florida. 

What’s New at Disney Parks in the Fall?

Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine | Hollywood Studios

Minnie’s Halloween dine features Minnie, of course, in her Halloween best. Instead of a buffet this year, you will get dinner served at your table. Plan to see the restaurant and the characters in their spooky seasonal best ready for those physically distanced photos. 

• Minnie’s Halloween Dine and Hollywood and Vine. Reservations open mid-August.

Fall at Walt Disney World 2021

We absolutely love Walt Disney World in the fall. If you’re looking for the best time to go to Disney World aim for the second or third week in September. We also love early November when all the fall decorations are still up and the weather is cooler. Hopefully, this post has given you some amazing things to look forward to for your Disney Fall Vacation. Have any favorite experiences we missed? Let us know!
