How to spend your Halloween at Disney

If you are thinking of going to Walt Disney World this fall, you can kill two birds with one stone and celebrate Halloween with all of the Disney characters at the Magic Kingdom! This event allows guests to dress up in their best Halloween garb and see a new side of the Magic Kingdom that you don't see all year round.


In addition to trick-or-treating around the Magic Kingdom, guests can see a special Halloween parade, a special fireworks show, and meet their favorite characters who might just be dressed up in their Halloween costumes too.



Walt Disney World is running this event from September 11, 2012 to November 2, 2012. Learn more about it here.

I personally would love to experience this at some point, even as an adult. If you have been, share your experience below!

Alcohol Being Introduced at the Magic Kingdom

Walt Disney made it incredibly clear when he said that he didn’t want alcohol served in his parks, but he also said that the parks should adapt and change with the times.

The new Be Our Guest restaurant, which is part of the new Fantasyland Expansion at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, will now offer a selection of French wines and Belgian beers to guests. The only other parks to do this are Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World’s EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, and the exclusive Club 33 at Disneyland’s Magic Kingdom.

Why this has been made controversial is understandable- if Walt didn’t want it, why are the current Disney cast members doing it? Well, times are changing and it is already offered in other parks… so why not?

Besides, do you really think that people will want to spend upwards of $10 on a glass of beer when their vacation is already costing them an arm and a leg? I’m going to lean towards no. 

What do you think? Are Walt's ideas totally being set aside or is this just Disney adapting to the changing times?
