Fall at Disney World is officially loading…and some fan-favorite experiences are making a BIG comeback.
If you’ve been waiting for spooky season at Walt Disney World, this is your sign to start planning. Disney has confirmed a lineup of returning limited-time offerings for fall 2026, and it’s packed with food, entertainment, and festive extras across the parks and beyond!
Walt Disney World has officially revealed a full list of limited-time experiences returning for fall 2026, bringing back everything from seasonal festivals to Halloween parties and exclusive dining.
Here’s everything confirmed so far:
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is back from August 27 through November 21, 2026, once again taking over EPCOT with global flavors and entertainment.
Guests can expect food booths featuring dishes from around the world, the return of the Eat to the Beat Concert Series, and a foodie guide released ahead of the festival with full menus. This remains one of Disney’s most popular events for food lovers.
Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit
Also returning to EPCOT is Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit, a family-friendly scavenger hunt perfect for all ages.
Guests can search for hidden pumpkins around the park and receive a prize at the end — even if the hunt isn’t completed! Prizes vary each year and are available while supplies last, making this a fun (and collectible) seasonal activity.
Minnie’s Halloween Dine
Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood & Vine is making its return.
This character dining experience includes Minnie, Mickey, and friends dressed in Halloween costumes, and a buffet-style meal with options for all ages. It’s especially popular for families looking to combine dining with character interactions.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
One of the biggest highlights of the season, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, is returning to Magic Kingdom Park on select nights from August 7 through October 31, 2026.
Guests can enjoy trick-or-treating throughout the park, exclusive entertainment and shows, rare character meet-and-greets, and the chance to wear costumes in the park.
Tickets will go on sale May 5 for select resort guests, and May 12 for all other guests.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar (Halloween Overlay)
At Disney Springs, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar will once again transform for the Halloween season.
The venue will feature spooky seasonal décor, themed food and drinks, and a festive atmosphere inspired by adventure and Halloween.
Fall Decorations Across Walt Disney World
In addition to returning events and experiences, fall decorations will once again transform Walt Disney World Resort into a full seasonal celebration.
Guests can expect Magic Kingdom to lead the way with its signature autumn look, including Main Street, U.S.A., lined with pumpkin wreaths, fall garlands, and festive banners. Scarecrow displays, warm color palettes, and Disney-themed pumpkins create that classic “Halloween at Disney” atmosphere right from the moment you walk in.
Beyond Magic Kingdom, subtle seasonal touches can also be found at resorts and select areas around the property, adding to the overall ambiance without taking away from the immersive theming of each location. It’s one of those details that makes visiting in the fall feel extra special — even outside of ticketed events.
Special Offers & Seasonal Savings
Disney is also bringing back limited-time fall promotions, giving guests more opportunities to save on their trip.
- 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket:Â This limited-time deal gives you access to all four theme parks, one park per day. Tickets start at $109 per day, plus tax, for visits between May 26 and October 3.
- Save up to 30% on Rooms in Late Summer and Early Fall: This deal is valid at select Disney Resorts Collection hotels for stays of 5 nights or longer, for most stays July 30 to October 3
These promotions are especially popular during the fall travel window, making it one of the more accessible times to visit compared to peak holiday seasons.
As always, availability is limited, and offers can vary based on travel dates and resort selection — so it’s worth keeping an eye out and booking early when deals are announced!
Fall continues to be one of the most popular times to visit Walt Disney World—and it’s easy to see why.
With a mix of food festivals, seasonal overlays, character dining, and special ticketed events, Disney is creating a full lineup of experiences that go far beyond the rides!
