Disney is the happiest place on earth all year long, but it is possibly at it's highest peak of fun during the holiday season. In typical Disney fashion they tend to go all out for the season and it's truly a sight to behold. So with that in mind, here are seven reasons to go to Disney in the Fall.
1. Food and Wine
This special event, which lasts from September 14th to November 14th is definitely not one to miss. In addition to the great food you can get in the world showcase all year long, but for these two months they have many more additional countries and food/ drink choices that you don't want to miss.
2. The weather can be a bit more moderate
Though summer is a popular time to visit the parks, it is still Florida and the temperature can get into the 100's. Fall is a little bit cooler and a much safer time to go.
3. But it's still pretty warm
Since it is still Florida, it never gets too cold. Fall will usually still be in the 80's which still allows you to swim in the pool at the resort and visit the water parks.
4. Mickey's Not So Scary
This is an obvious one. For anyone who hasn't heard of this, it basically allows you to get dressed up in whatever costume you want and go to Magic Kingdom where you get to meet exclusive villains, see amazing, special shows and get handed free candy. Basically it's a can't miss event that you have to do at least once in your life.
5. Good time to avoid crowds
As mentioned above, summer is a very busy time at Disney, along with Christmas and Spring Break. But going in the Fall, especially during the week helps to avoid the groups that usually go during summers and school breaks.
6. Decorations!
Disney tends to go all out when it comes to celebrating holidays and Halloween is no exception! Magic Kingdom especially gets decked out in pumpkins and scarecrows galore.
7. Universal Halloween Horror Nights
Technically this isn't Disney but it is another great excuse to go to Orlando during September and October. There are tons of haunted houses for all of your favorite scary movies and TV shows. Not to mention Universal is decked out with haunted music and tons of creepy monsters wandering around just waiting to scare you. Horror Nights also provides a nice break from the Disney Atmosphere.
While I know Disney isn't the most affordable vacation, if you take the time to save up to go, then considering going in the Fall might make your vacation even more worthwhile!
