It’s April at Walt Disney World, and you know what that means… Halloween! Right?

You may be surprised to hear that Walt Disney World has seemingly started spooky season right after Easter, but don’t worry, they don’t have the calendar wrong. Walt Disney World Resort is celebrating Halfway to Halloween – after all, there’s so much to do, and it’s only 197 days away! Disney launched their campaign today, announcing that a majority of it would be centered around The Haunted Mansion and the upcoming Disney film of the same name, which is slated to be released on July 28, 2023.
To kick off the festivities, Disney is releasing some extremely limited-time Halfway to Halloween-themed treats throughout their parks and resorts. We mean REALLY limited-time, as you’ll only be able to get these treats from April 20-23! Make sure to stop by the Parks for these spooky selections.
