The Fall Season at Walt Disney World
The fall season has arrived at the Walt Disney World Resort, and this year it is uniquely “spooky.” While the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Parties were canceled for the 2020 season, Disney has brought this fan-favorite time of year to life in a fun, but safe, way.
At the Magic Kingdom, Mickey and the gang are all dressed up this year! You can find them greeting guests at the end of Main Street from the train station above and also during the Happy Halloween Cavalcade. This cavalcade, or very short parade, follows the traditional parade route starting in Frontierland and ending on Main Street. Make sure to keep your ears open! You may hear some familiar music playing as they say hello.
