Best Disney World Resorts For Halloween
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground

Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground is the ultimate destination for Halloween enthusiasts. While Disney doesn't go all out with Halloween decorations at this resort, the campers and guests take it upon themselves to create a truly magical experience.

Disney's Contemporary Resort
Convenience and Magic
For unparalleled convenience and a touch of magic, Disney's Contemporary Resort is an excellent choice for Halloween at Walt Disney World. While the resort itself may not have elaborate Halloween decorations, its prime location near Magic Kingdom makes it a top pick. Being part of the monorail loop allows easy access to both Magic Kingdom and Epcot, especially during the International Food and Wine Festival.
Plus, you can walk to and from Magic Kingdom in under 10 minutes, which is a game changer if you are attending Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.
But for those not attending, the resort's fourth-floor viewing deck provides an excellent vantage point to enjoy the Halloween Party fireworks without going in to the park. Disney's Contemporary Resort is a fantastic choice for Halloween enthusiasts because of its unbeatable location and proximity to the Halloween festivities.
Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort
Embrace the Fall Vibes
Immerse yourself in the autumn ambiance at Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort, where Halloween and fall magic blend seamlessly. This resort offers easy access to Magic Kingdom through boat transportation for MNSSHP, as well as the beautiful Fall decorations around the park. We also love that you have boat transportation from this resort to Fort Wilderness, allowing you to enjoy the great Halloween displays there.
Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort exudes a cozy, rustic charm that perfectly complements the fall season. What better way to celebrate fall in Florida than by indulging in the comforting atmosphere of this enchanting resort's log cabin feel and huge fireplaces? Experience the magic of Halloween and embrace the spirit of autumn at Disney's Wilderness Lodge Resort. If you want to see more from this resort, be sure to watch our full review HERE!
Disney's French Quarter
Spooky Delights in the Heart of Disney Springs
While not an obvious choice, Disney's Port Orleans: French Quarter provides a unique Halloween experience that shouldn't be overlooked. The atmosphere here mirrors the French Quarter in Louisiana, with beautiful ironwork on the buildings and low-hanging moss on the trees. Is it just me, or are you getting some spooky Haunted Mansion vibes too??
Located near Disney Springs, this resort offers convenient access to the Halloween festivities taking place in the area. Although Magic Kingdom is the main park known for its Halloween celebrations, Disney Springs has its fair share of spooky treats, Halloween merchandise, and even Halloween-themed music as the holiday approaches. Just an easy boat ride away, visiting Disney Springs during Halloween is a fantastic way to soak up the festive atmosphere. Best of all, entry to Disney Springs is free and requires no park reservation. Consider staying at Disney's French Quarter for a taste of Halloween magic and the convenience of Disney Springs.
Disney's Boardwalk Inn
A Hauntingly Beautiful Experience
Immerse yourself in the timeless charm and eerie ambiance of Disney's Boardwalk Inn during Halloween. Located along Disney's BoardWalk, this resort offers a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of early 20th-century Atlantic City which totally give haunted vibes in my opinion. J
Just take a minute to hunt out the nanny chairs, and you'll be completely spooked. As you stroll along the BoardWalk, you'll feel a touch of nostalgia and a hint of Autumn mystery in the air. Take in the sights and sounds of this hauntingly beautiful resort and experience Halloween like never before.
Another reason we love this option for Halloween at Disney is its close proximity to Hollywood Studio. When it comes to Halloween decorations, sadly, Magic Kingdom is the only theme park where you can experience them. But at Hollywood Studios, you can book a dining reservation at Hollywood & Vine to experience the Halloween Dine event for lunch or dinner with Minnie Mouse and her Friends. Characters will be dressed up in their holiday costumes, and it's a perfect chance to get great Halloween pictures that are up close to the characters.
When it comes to choosing the perfect resort for Halloween at Walt Disney World, these five options are sure to make your stay unforgettable. From the vibrant and spooky atmosphere of Disney's Fort Wilderness to the convenience of Disney's Contemporary Resort, each resort offers a unique Halloween experience.
Whether you're looking for elaborate decorations, proximity to Magic Kingdom, or a taste of Halloween magic at Disney Springs or Hollywood & Vine, there's a resort that caters to your preferences. Embrace the enchantment of Halloween and create lifelong memories at one of these spooky Disney World resorts.
