Experience Fall at Walt Disney World Resort

Soon, the sun will begin to set earlier, the evenings will become crisp, and poof, it’ll be FALL. When fall arrives at Walt Disney World, the entire resort changes in the most wonderful way. With magic at every turn, this season captivates guests with endless ways to celebrate.

Fall Décor Around the Resort

As soon as guests arrive at Walt Disney World, they are greeted by festive decorations everywhere. Pumpkins, wreaths, garlands, and numerous autumnal accents transform every corner of the parks and resorts, making even a simple walk feel like a seasonal celebration.

Florida truly embraces fall when you walk down Main Street, U.S.A., adorned in autumnal splendor. This fall, Magic Kingdom Park will once again be transformed, showcasing russet decorations for everyone to admire, with red, yellow, and orange decor appearing in Fantasyland and Frontierland, and they are gourd-geous.

At Storybook Circus, decorations will fall perfectly into place, bringing autumn joy to the big top, with the most adorable pumpkins inspired by a flying elephant and his small ringleader.
