Walt Disney World made the difficult decision this year to not host Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party — a popular after hours event that takes place every year at Magic Kingdom. It wasn’t long ago Disney World released the following statement:

While assessing another fall special event, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, we determined that many of its hallmarks –stage shows, parades and fireworks – are unable to take place in this new, unprecedented environment. With that in mind, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Additionally, Disney H2O Glow Nights, the nighttime special ticket event at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, will not take place for the remainder of 2020. Guests who have already bought tickets to these events will be assisted with refunds over the coming weeks.

But one popular question floating around is if Walt Disney World will still decorate Magic Kingdom or the rest of the resort with decorations despite this cancellation? Well, we at Inside the Magic decided to chat with Walt Disney World Resort Guest Services to find out!

When we asked Guest Relations Cast Member if Walt Disney World was still going to decorate for Halloween despite MNSSHP being canceled, they replied with the following statement:

So from what I’ve gathered, we do still decorate for the fall and the holidays, even without special events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.
