   Walt Disney World Halloween 2026 Review: What’s Worth It

   Planning a Disney World Halloween trip? We just got back from Walt Disney World during Halloween season, and we’re giving you our honest, park by park review of what’s worth your time and money. We stayed at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, and we share what it’s like to have EPCOT and Hollywood Studios practically at your doorstep, plus whether we’d book it again. You’ll also hear why Trattoria al Forno on the BoardWalk surprised us, and why Topolino’s Terrace is still one of the best Disney World restaurants. At EPCOT, we make the case that the Tostada de Osso Bucco at the International Festival of Food & Wine might be the best festival dish ever. At Hollywood Studios, we talk about Animation Courtyard and the new version of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster. At Magic Kingdom, we cover the new Big Thunder Mountain track, why we’ll only ride TRON Lightcycle / Run in the front row, and why Haunted Mansion at Halloween is a must do. We also break down Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, including trick or treating, entertainment, crowds, and whether the party ticket is worth it. We wrap up with what to consider when booking a Walt Disney World stay during the Halloween season. ✨ Want more Disney magic? Follow along on Instagram @ashleyc_mousecounselor.
