“Destination: Walt Disney World” takes you to Central Florida to explore the magic of the resort across seasons, from fall fun to festive traditions and cultural celebrations.
At the Magic Kingdom, Halloween transforms the park overnight.
“Our incredible holiday services team transforms the Magic Kingdom in just one single night,” said Nathaniel Palma, spokesperson for Walt Disney World. “Just like the fairy godmother waved their wand, overnight the whole kingdom gets to transform.”
Guests can trick-or-treat, spot rare characters, and catch the fan-favorite “Boo to You” parade at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Over at EPCOT, the International Food & Wine Festival offers tastes from around the globe.
“To me, this is the attraction,” said Tony Marotta, chef de cuisine at Walt Disney World. “Thirty international kiosks all around the park add a whole different dimension to your visit.”

“Coming to Food & Wine Festival here at EPCOT, it’s literally like visiting the entire world in one single day,” added Alex González, public relations manager at Walt Disney World.
The resort also highlights Hispanic Heritage Month with music and characters inspired by “Encanto.”
“It is wonderful to see how all throughout the resort, we get to celebrate not only all of our Spanish guests, but also our Hispanic Cast Members,” said Palma.
