Hiya, Brooke! Welcome to planDisney, where we help all Guests make their upcoming
Disney vacations as magical as possible.
As a teacher, this question definitely hits home. Back-to-school season can sometimes feel like a scene straight out of
Monsters, Inc. One little cough and you're ready to yell, “2319!” I'm hoping that your kids have the best transition into the new school year and everyone is feeling great at all times...but
especially when your September visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort rolls around! And it's always good to know the rules in case something does need to change!
Just like Roz, the
ticketing terms and conditions are always watching.
Theme park tickets at Walt Disney World are nonrefundable and nontransferable. However, if you have to cancel your vacation for some reason, you can usually apply the amount you paid for your wholly unused tickets to a future ticket purchase.
While you're planning that trip, be sure to look into the exclusive activities only available during the fall. You've got the classic and ever-popular
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in
Magic Kingdom Park, where thankfully, the (not-so-spooky) monsters are invited! Then there's my personal favorite, the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. Have you seen
the recently released menus? They would make even Mike Wazowski's eye bigger! Sign. Me. Up. And of course, we've only scratched the surface of the Scare Floor! Be sure to follow along with the
Disney Parks Blog for all updates leading up to your trip.
And
if Monsters, Inc. is your jam, also stay tuned to the blog for announcements about Monstropolis, with
parts of this new land inspired by the classic film opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios in 2027. Now, you may be asking, is it too soon to start planning your 2027 visit before your 2026 vacation even begins? Not if there's a
door to Monstropolis waiting on the other side!
Brooke, I'm wishing you a school year filled with more laughter than screams! If any other questions come knocking at your door,
you know where to bring them!
Laughter is ten times more powerful than a scream,
Matt
