Magical Mal's Diary

hi, I'm Mallory ✨

Your guide to the magic

Think of this as planning your trip with a friend who really loves Disney World. I've graded every ride, reviewed every resort and restaurant, shared what I actually wear to the parks, and built a planner that maps out your days in minutes. All you have to do is pack the ears.

This Week at Disney World: October 27 to November 2

Halloween weekend, the last Not-So-Scary nights, and the big flip from pumpkins to garland. Here's what to expect in the parks this week, plus what I'd wear.

Happy Halloween week, friends! πŸŽƒ This is one of my favorite stretches of the whole year at Walt Disney World because you get two seasons in one trip. Pumpkins on Main Street at the start of the week, and by the end of it the holiday decorations start creeping in. Here's what I'd plan around.

What's happening in the parks

Halloween lands on a Saturday this year, which means Magic Kingdom is going to feel very festive and very busy on the weekend. If Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is running its final nights this week, those are always the most popular of the whole season. Costumed guests everywhere, long lines for photos with the villains, and a genuinely fun vibe if you go in expecting crowds rather than fighting them.
