Hi, Brandie!
October is such a fun time of the year to visit the Walt Disney World Resort! I can totally relate to your excitement!
Halloween is my very favorite holiday and
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is my most favorite Special Event on earth! It's so fun to go trick-or-treating as an adult, my kiddos get such a kick out of it every year! We've been able to purchase our tickets around the 1st of May in previous years, but things are subject to change at any time. You can typically expect the calendar to be posted approximately 6-months out. Be sure to keep an eye out on the
Disney Parks Blog because you'll see it announced there first.
The
Epcot® International Food & Wine Festival Presented by Chase® is also an awesome Special Event! You will find some details on the above link, but more details will definitely be released in the coming months. I really like to follow along with DisneyFoodBlog.com as there is always tons of information there including menus and pictures of all of the great offerings and special experiences available to take part in.
I sure hope this helps, Brandie! Be sure to let us know if you have any other questions we can help out wiith.
Wishing you a Pixie Dusted vacation!
