NEWS: Disney World Highlights Fall Offerings Coming in 2026

There is no such thing as a bad time to visit Disney World. There are good times to visit and GREAT times to visit. By far, our favorite time to enjoy Disney World is in the fall. The weather begins to turn more pleasant and there are so many special offerings. Disney has released a guide highlighting some of what guests will be treated to this fall.

Full details below.

Here are all the details from cast member Kati Gauer:

Before we know it, the sun will start slipping away earlier, the evenings will turn crisp, and *poof* it’ll be FALL. And when fall hits Walt Disney World, the whole resort transforms in the best possible way. With magic around every corner, this season truly pulls you in with countless ways to celebrate, and I’m here to guide you through what’s in store. You bet your autumn dollar I’m ready.

Fall Décor Around the Resort

From the moment you arrive at Walt Disney World, festive touches are all around. Pumpkins, wreaths, garlands (oh my!), and countless autumnal touches transform every corner of the parks and resorts, turning even the simplest stroll into a walk through a seasonal celebration.

It isn’t really Florida fall until you stroll down Main Street, U.S.A. and see it dressed up in autumnal charm. This fall season, Magic Kingdom Park will once again transform and flaunt russet adornments for all to enjoy, with red, yellow, and orange decor sprouting in Fantasyland and Frontierland, and they are gourd-geous.

Over in Storybook Circus, décor will tumble into place to spread autumn cheer across the big top, featuring the cutest pumpkins inspired by a flying elephant and his pint-sized ringleader.

Halloween Overlay at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar

A fang-favorite is returning to Disney Springs this fall! Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar invites you to a nostalgic Halloween party from decades past with a Halloween overlay. You’ll be surrounded by Halloween décor, new sinister sips, and eerie eats you won’t want to miss!

Stay tuned to Disney Parks Blog to learn more about the spooktacular takeover.

2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival

What says fall more than an array of sweet and savory sips and bites? A trip to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival is a must during the fall season! Running from August 27 to November 21, 2026, this festival serves delectable dishes and specialty sips inspired by countries and cultures around the world. The live music, global marketplaces, and specialty merch make it more than just a food festival – it’s become a fall tradition for many!

Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit

Fall isn’t fall without pumpkins! Another fall-tastic way to spend your day at EPCOT is by embarking on Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit – a festive scavenger hunt to find hidden decorative pumpkins inspired by your favorite Disney friends. Once you’ve found them all, a spooky festival keepsake awaits you! (Available while supplies last.)

Fall into Thrills at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the prime place to pay homage to the fall-iday season! First, dare to enter the creaking service elevator on The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror… then, conquer your fear of being face to face with foes at “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After.” With fall bringing cooler weather, Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is the perfect place for Star Wars fans to enjoy the atmospheric area at night!

All of this excitement leaving you hungry for a festive dining experience? You can snack on eerie-sistable food with Minnie Mouse and friends at Minnie’s Halloween Dine at Hollywood and Vine as they are dressed in their Halloween best for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!

However you choose to spend your day, there are plenty of ways to have the best fall day ever at Hollywood Studios.

Explore the Wild at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Fall is the purr-fect time to explore Animal Kingdom, and Maharajah Jungle Trek is a must-visit on your autumn adventure! Be sure to stroll the scenic paved trails, where you might spot Sumatran tigers prowling through their habitat. While on the trails, keep your eyes peeled, as you may just see animals snacking on some of their favorite seasonal treats.

Continue your journey and take a ride through the savanna on Kilimanjaro Safaris, which gives you an incredible opportunity to spot over 30 species of animals.

After your safari adventure, join Judy and Nick at The Tree of Life Theater to catch the new “Zootopia: Better Zoogether!” 4-D show, which will leave you singing and dancing as you take on the rest of your day. You also can’t go wrong by visiting Pandora – The World of Avatar, or boarding a train to the “top of the world” at Expedition Everest.

To top off your fall exploration, hop on the train and adventure to Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station to join Bluey and Bingo for some playing and dancing. It’ll leave everyone in your party shouting “Wackadoo!”

Whether you’re trekking through trails, spotting wildlife, or discovering the rest of Animal Kingdom, the fall is a season of wonder, nature, and thrill.
