You are planning a trip during one of my favorite times of year to visit the Walt Disney World Resort, Steven. That's so exciting for both you and your sister. You're in for a real treat (no tricks in sight)! Have you heard about
The World's Most Magical Celebration taking place in October? It promises to be quite a party and your vacation date will allow you to experience it. Lucky you!
Of course, the pandemic has caused some changes in both the theme parks and resort hotels. It's important to stay informed about all of the current
health and safety measures in place as you plan the details of your vacation. I know one of the events you're specifically interested in is
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. You've got a good reason to be eager; it's a frightfully fun celebration. Unfortunately, there have not been any announcements just yet as to the status of this event, or any other
Halloween activities, for 2021. The
Disney Parks Blog is a fantastic resource for timely updates on event availability and announcements. Keep a close eye on it!
You also asked about
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - Riverside and
Disney's Port Orleans Resort - French Quarter. Both of these
moderate resorts are currently closed and an opening date has not yet been announced. If that should change before your trip, you really can't go wrong with a stay at either. The grounds of each of these resort hotels are just gorgeous.
Each traveling party will have to determine whether or not now is the right time to plan a Disney vacation. As the phased reopening continues, we will learn more about the status of some favorite Halloween events for this year. If you do decide to go, maybe these
tips for visiting Walt Disney World Resort in 2021 will prove helpful.
I wish I could offer you some more concrete information, Steven. Like you, I'm watching and eagerly awaiting announcements about special events this fall. Let's hope Tink sends a little extra pixie dust our way!
