Hi there, Alicia. Welcome to planDisney.
Autumn is an un-fall-gettable time to visit Walt Disney World. Everything is
pumpkin spice, and everything magical! There is something
fab-boo-lous about walking right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A., and seeing the pumpkin wreaths return. I'm so excited you'll get to see them!
Mickey's Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks show, and shows like Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular are exclusive to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and do not run during non-party evenings.
I know this may not be the answer you hoped for, but I have some
glow-rious news that I think you'll love. While you won't be able to see the Halloween parade without a party ticket, a new nighttime parade is set to open this summer. I'm so excited to experience this!
"Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away" will glow, sparkle, and shine with floats featuring favorite characters from Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Encanto, and more. Although the opening date and performance schedule have not yet been announced, I hope we'll hear more information soon. This parade will not be part of the Halloween festivities, so keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all the big announcements on how you can see this magical show!
Alicia, you're going to have a fantastic fall vacation! You'll be in town for the popular
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, where you can literally taste the world one dish at a time. I hope you'll have plenty of time to enjoy all the delicious food!
I'm happy you stopped by with your question. We are always here to help. I'm wishing you the BEST VACATION EVER!
Happy planning,
Shonette
