Halloween has arrived at Magic Kingdom with a blend of beloved traditions and fresh seasonal touches. From Storybook Circus’ whimsical Dumbo and Timothy Q. Mouse pumpkin wreaths to hand-carved Hundred Acre Wood jack-o’-lanterns, garland-trimmed Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and harvest-themed décor throughout Liberty Square and Frontierland, the park is overflowing with autumn charm all in time for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.

Sip on a little magic with the Starlight Frozen Dream, a limited-time glacier from Main Street Confectionery at Magic Kingdom.
