Hi, Maria! October is the best time to go to Walt Disney World, in my opinion. The
weather is terrific. The crowds are manageable. You can still
comfortably do the water parks. There are often specials like free
dining plans offered (watch the
Special Offers page
closely) . Above all of these, it is when Mickey's Not-So-Scary
Halloween Party happens! It is a not-to-be-missed hard ticket (requires a
separate admission) event! The Magic Kingdom is decked out in its
Halloween finest - including ghosts on Main Street, U.S.A. Characters
sport their costumes, too. Guests of all ages attend in costume, but it
isn't required. Because the number of Guests is limited, you can ride
almost every attraction during the party time frame, especially if you
follow my family's lead and skip the Trick-or-treat locations.
HalloWishes is the holiday-themed fireworks presentation that you can
only see on party nights. The Boo-to-You parade is one of my family's
favorites. Watch for the Haunted Mansion Cast Members; they are my
favorite part. Check the
Halloween Party page to
watch for the dates to be released. In years past, there has been an
advance purchase discount for most nights, so take advantage of that if
you can. Happy planning and have a Magical vacation!
