As of August 3, 2026, the first fall-themed decorations have arrived at Magic Kingdom Park. Let’s take a look.
Fall is Here…at Least at the Magic Kingdom
On August 3, WDWNT reported that Walt Disney World Resort cast members had spent the night between August 2 and August 3 installing the first fall decorations of the 2026 season at Magic Kingdom Park. The outlet shared this photo of orange, yellow, and red bunting on the facade of the Main Street, U.S.A., train station at the entrance to the original Central Florida Disney park:
The carved jack-o’-lanterns above the two walkways out of Magic Kingdom Park (under the Walt Disney World Railroad station) have also been installed. They feature glowing pumpkins of varying sizes and colors, with carvings of Mickey Mouse’s head and letters that, when read together, say “See Ya Real Soon!”
More autumnal bunting and carved pumpkins will eventually be installed along Main Street, U.S.A., leading to Cinderella Castle. The iconic Mickey Mouse-head pumpkin lights and autumn leaf wreaths that line lightposts around Main Street, U.S.A., and Cinderella Castle also have yet to be installed, but are expected to arrive in the next few days.
Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party signage first appeared at Magic Kingdom Park last week. The after-hours Halloween event will take over the Magic Kingdom on select evenings from August 7 through October 31, 2026. However, several dates are already completely sold out–including opening and closing nights.
The party features several exclusive offerings, including the opportunity to trick-or-treat at stations around the Magic Kingdom. In a rare exception to Walt Disney World Resort’s strict dress code, guests of all ages can wear costumes to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. The 2026 event will include specialty food & beverages, themed merchandise, and new and returning entertainment offerings, such as Mickey’s Boo-To-You Halloween Parade, the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular, Disney’s Not-So-Spooky Spectacular fireworks, and a Tomorrowland masquerade inspired by Lilo & Stitch (2002).
