food IS a theme park
Updated March 1, 2024
Disney World is preparing for a lot of changes in 2024.
EPCOT
Every year Disney introduces new things, takes away some of our favorites, and overall is just different than the year prior — that’s why we keep you updated on everything Disney so you’re prepared! If you’re heading to Disney World in 2024, here are some CRITICAL dates you need to know while you plan.
It’s August, which means that fall has officially arrived in Disney World.Â
Halloween is HERE!
Halloween decorations are already gracing the buildings that line Main Street, U.S.A., ghoulish merchandise now fills the shelves of some merchandise shops, and now, we’re only a few days away from the very first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of the year! Disney has already shared several details regarding these special-ticketed parties in Magic Kingdom, but there are still a few things that they’ve left unsaid.
Halloween time is starting soon in Disneyland, and we’re just counting down the days until the first Oogie Boogie Bash.

HOWEVER, let’s just say we’re also starting to look forward to the holiday season, especially with Disneyland recently confirming lots of events returning this year. Well, now, we know WHEN the holiday season begins in Disneyland!
We’re already gearing up for the Halloween season in Disney World.
Halloween is HERE!
Even though Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party doesn’t start until August 11th, we’ve seen some fall-themed decorations arrive in Magic Kingdom early. On top of that, we’ve also started to see spooky season merchandise in the gift shops, so if you’re visiting for a summer trip, you might get to see a sneak peek of the Halloween happenings. But if things are starting early…when will they end?!
Do you hear that? Is that jingle bells we hear in the distance? Is the holiday season starting already?!
Toy Soldiers at Disney World
We’re already making plans for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Disney World (which starts SOON). We’ve even seen some pretty awesome Halloween merchandise in Disney World and online. But we’re looking even further ahead because we just spotted Thanksgiving and HOLIDAY t-shirts at Target!
Need another reason to visit Disney Springs soon? We’ve got just the incentive!

Now that we’ve had a chance to try out a few of the treats coming for the Flavors of Florida event at Disney Springs, we’re hungry for more. Gideon’s Bakehouse brought back a fan-favorite cookie for that event, but now they’ve announced that ANOTHER popular treat will also return for a limited time! [Read more…]
Not only do we have Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party to look forward to this year, but we’ve also got Jollywood Nights for the first time!
Jollywood Nights
Jollywood Nights take place in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we’ve previously been told that D23 Members will have special perks at this new event. We’ve been waiting on some more detailed perks though, and now we have them to share with you!
Is it too early to start talking about Christmas?
Bring on the holidays!
That’s a trick question because the answer is “NO!” We’re already gearing up for the holiday season, especially in Disney World, where we’re getting more details about Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party AND Jollywood Nights — and, yes, tickets are on sale for BOTH events right now. So how about a little early Christmas shopping for good measure?
