Howdy Wayne - welcome to
planDisney!
All holidays are magical at
Walt Disney World Resort, but Halloween is always a favorite in my crew! We love the uniquely ghoulish drinks and treats, spooky characters, and I'm pretty sure the Happy Haunts from Haunted Mansion do some redecorating around Magic Kingdom Park!
Unique
Disney After Hours events and parties are offered each year, including Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Very Merriest and Boo Bash After Hours, and more! It looks like there haven't been any announcements about these events for the 2022 holiday season, but I would be surprised if we don't hear some news soon.
The Disney Parks Blog is the best place to hear these updates first - announcements typically include all the details you'll need, including dates, instructions for purchasing tickets, and when tickets will become available.
While I can't make any guarantees, based on my past experience I would be comfortable to start planning a trip for the month of October (or even September!) now. While these specially ticketed events are only held on specific nights, there are usually not more than four or so days in between, meaning that your trip would likely overlap with at least one available event/party night. You'll also be visiting during the
Walt Disney World 50th Anniversary Celebration, so there will always be a "party" wherever you are!
As you continue your planning, be sure to check out accommodations at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel so you can enjoy
all the exclusive benefits of staying in the magic - extra time in the theme parks, complimentary transportation, and so much more!
Let me know if you have any more questions as you continue planning!
