Disney World Spoils a Big Holiday Secret

We’re already gearing up for the Halloween season in Disney World.

Halloween is HERE!

Even though Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party doesn’t start until August 11th, we’ve seen some fall-themed decorations arrive in Magic Kingdom early. On top of that, we’ve also started to see spooky season merchandise in the gift shops, so if you’re visiting for a summer trip, you might get to see a sneak peek of the Halloween happenings. But if things are starting early…when will they end?!

Disney has announced that Magic Kingdom should be fully decorated for fall from August 10th through November 1st, 2023. This means that by the 10th, we should have all the pumpkins, scarecrows, and festive decorations in the gift shops on Main Street, U.S.A.

Halloween decorations

But this also tells us when the Halloween celebrations will END! In the past, we’ve seen Disney start swapping over from Halloween to Christmas on November 1st, but with the final Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party taking place on November 1st, it makes sense that Disney would have to wait a little bit longer this year.

The scarecrows!

Why is this a SPOILER? Well, usually, Disney doesn’t “officially” share the exact date when Halloween decorations will come down (or when they’ll all be up for that matter). We know that Halloween decorations typically start appearing in early August, but again we usually don’t get a date by which they’ll all be up. And typically, Disney does take down the Halloween fun and put up the first Holiday decorations in Magic Kingdom as soon as Halloween is over. But the “end” of the Halloween decor and the start of the Holiday decor doesn’t usually get more “officially” advertised.

Ready to play some tunes

Now, Disney’s announcement is not a full guarantee that Disney will swap things over immediately from Halloween to the Holidays on November 2nd — plans can change. But it is a good indication of when the Halloween decorations should come down and when the decorations that mark the start of the holly jolly season could appear in Magic Kingdom.

Until then, we can’t wait to have some not-so-spooky fun at Disney World! Stay tuned to DFB for all the Halloween updates and news.
