It’s already Halloween at Walt Disney World. While the parks and resorts do not roll out the festive decor as they do during the Christmas Season, there is plenty of pumpkin spice fun at the Magic Kingdom from now up until November 1. When you visit Walt Disney World in the fall, there are always two significant events to attend. At Epcot, there is the Food and Wine Festival, who’s opening happens to coincide with the grand opening of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge this year. In the Magic Kingdom, a pumpkin lined Main Street USA indicates an exciting Disney World Halloween party that takes place after hours on select nights for the next three months. Thank you Disney World for hosting!
