Hey friends, can we just take a moment to appreciate that fall at Walt Disney World is almost here? There is something about this time of year that has me ready to pack my bags, grab a pumpkin spice everything, and head straight for Orlando. While Florida may not exactly deliver those crisp, sweater-weather mornings we associate with fall, the slightly cooler weather, changing seasonal dĆ©cor, and arrival of Halloween make this one of my absolute favorite times to visit. Across Walt Disney World, pumpkins and fall touches are popping up, seasonal treats are arriving, and, of course, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is bringing all of that extra Halloween magic to Magic Kingdom.
But you don’t have to spend every minute inside the parks to enjoy the season. Disney Springs gets right into the fall spirit too, with decorations, seasonal treats and plenty of festive experiences to enjoy. One of the standouts is Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, which gets its own Halloween transformation, turning this already fun Disney Springs stop into a festive experience filled with themed food, drinks and dĆ©cor. It is exactly the kind of seasonal addition I love because you can enjoy a little Disney Halloween magic without needing a full park day or a party ticket.
And there is another little Disney Springs stop that I think deserves to be on your fall must-do list. The Disney PhotoPass Studio has a brand-new fall makeover, creating a gorgeous seasonal backdrop for capturing those all-important family memories. There is no reservation required, making it incredibly easy to pop in while you are enjoying a more relaxed day at Disney Springs from 11 a.m. until 9 pm. Sometimes those are the moments I love most on a Disney vacation, when you aren’t racing between Lightning Lanes, attractions, and dining reservations and can actually stop to capture the memories. Let’s take a look at some of the shots your family can capture in the studio:
Whether you are visiting for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, hunting down all the seasonal treats, admiring the fall decorations or simply enjoying a slower day at Disney Springs, there is something wonderfully special about this time of year at Walt Disney World. The pumpkins, the Halloween touches, the cooler evenings and, yes, all the pumpkin spice make it feel like the resort is welcoming a whole new season. And with so many little opportunities to make memories along the way, I think fall might just be one of the best times to be at Walt Disney World.
