    We'd like to plan a vacation at the turn around time (Halloween to Christmas). Your site says November 1. Is the transformation complete on November 1? Or is there more to come in the days following?

    Welcome to planDisney, LaBreeska! Hot dog, I love this question because the transformation from Halloween to the winter holiday decorations is something out of a fairy tale. Well, that makes sense, after all, it is Walt Disney World Resort and we are talking about Magic Kingdom Park.

    Once the last Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party finishes at the stroke of midnight and all the Guests exit the park on November 1, 2024, Santa's Elves begin changing the spooky spectacle into a holiday wonderland. This process takes a couple of days to complete but the majority of the decorations will be up for park opening the day after the last party (this year 9:00 AM November 1, 2024). You can watch this truly amazing transformation. I think Wayne and Lanny from Disney's Prep & Landing organized this recording.

    If you are looking to experience both holiday seasons to the fullest then I suggest you arrive to capture both Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and then beginning November 8, 2024, step into the magical wonderland of Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party.

    LaBreeska, if you can make it for the change over between holidays you will enjoy one of the most spectacular times at the "Place Where Dreams Come True." Please feel free to write me back directly for follow-up questions or other Disney vacation planning tips.

    Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
