Somehow, we are one week out from Halloween at Disney. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off next Friday, August 7, which means Magic Kingdom’s Halloween season officially begins in seven days. If that number caught you off guard, you are not alone. The party start date creeping into the first week of August still surprises people every single year, and ...

There is an unwritten rule that a lot of first-time Walt Disney World planners pick up somewhere along the way. If you want the real experience, you stay on property. Anything else is settling.
