🎃 Halloween...in July?
Believe it or not, we're basically there!
Disney's first Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off the first week of August, which means you'll likely start seeing Halloween decorations popping up around Magic Kingdom very soon.
Sometimes Disney decor appears overnight...it's honestly one of my favorite transformations to watch.
👻Going to Disney in August?
Don't forget that Magic Kingdom closes at 6:00 PM on party nights for guests without a Halloween Party ticket.
Guests with a party ticket can enter as early as 4:00 PM, and the party officially runs from 7:00 PM–12:00 AM

Hi, I'm Katlyn — the mom behind Disneymomcentral! I share weekly Walt Disney World updates, crowd forecasts, and insider tips to help families plan smarter, stress-free trips. As a Disney-obsessed mom myself, I know how overwhelming it can be to keep up with ever-changing park hours, ride closures, and special events. My goal is to turn all that chaos into simple, easy-to-follow guides you can actually use. When I'm not tracking the parks, you'll find me making magic (and memories) with my own family at Disney World.
Corinthia
Hi, I’m Corinthia (yes, my name even sounds like a princess), so I like to think my love for Disney was meant to be! I’ve been visiting Disney since I was 9 years old, and experiencing the magic as an adult has made me fall in love with it even more (PS I cannot wait to take these trips with my future family one day). In my glass slipper era, I will be sharing my Disney trips, tips, tricks, hidden gems, and Disney-inspired outfits.
