As a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder and a travel advisor who specializes in Disney Destinations, Iâm excited to share the latest news about one of EPCOTâs most beloved festivals â the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival! This year, the festival will run from August 28 through November 22, 2025, filling EPCOT with incredible food, drinks, entertainment, and special experiences from around the world.
Guests can look forward to sampling dishes from Global Marketplaces, enjoying live performances, and even participating in unique culinary events. Whether you are a foodie, a wine lover, or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the festival, there is truly something for everyone.
For clients who are looking for lower crowds and more affordable travel dates, early to mid-September can be a sweet spot. While temperatures are still hot, this time of year often brings lighter park crowds and better pricing, making it a great option for those wanting to experience Walt Disney World with a little more breathing room.
Plus, if you plan your visit for September or October, youâll have the chance to enjoy both the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival and Mickeyâs Not-So-Scary Halloween Party during your trip â the perfect combination of flavors and fall fun!
If you are ready to start planning, I would love to help you plan the perfect Disney getaway. You can also follow me on social media at @ChaliPlansMagic for more Disney tips, tricks, and the latest updates.
Hi, I am Chali Francis, a travel advisor based in Oklahoma with Vincent Vacations, specializing in Disney destinations â and a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder who spends a lot of time each year in the parks staying up to date on all things Disney so I can help others plan the perfect Disney vacation!
Exciting news: the dates for Mickeyâs Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025 have officially been released, and now is the perfect time to start planning your fall Disney vacation.
Today I am sharing why this special event at Magic Kingdom is a must-do during fall at Disney World â and what you need to know now that ticket information is here!
Why We Love Mickeyâs Not-So-Scary Halloween Party
One of the highlights of Mickeyâs Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025 is the chance to see Disney villains throughout the night.
Villains are rare during regular park days, so getting to meet them and watch them perform makes the party feel even more magical.
You will also have the opportunity to meet Jack Skellington and Sally â characters who only appear during this event and Mickeyâs Very Merry Christmas Party.
Special Treats and Exclusive Entertainment
Another reason we love this event is the exclusive party-only treats you can find around Magic Kingdom.
From sweet desserts to festive Halloween-themed snacks, there is something special around every corner â just for party guests.
You will also experience entertainment that is unique to Disney Halloween events, including:
Disneyâs Not-So-Spooky Spectacular Fireworks Show: A dazzling display of projections, music, and Halloween magic.
Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular: A stage show where the Sanderson Sisters and other Disney villains take over Cinderella Castle for an unforgettable performance.
These shows add even more magic to an already incredible fall night at Disney World!
Trick-or-Treating Fun for All Ages
One of the most fun parts of the night is the trick-or-treat trails.
Candy stations are set up throughout the park, and both kids and adults can fill up their provided treat bags with candy â and you might be surprised just how much you can collect!
(Tip: A treat bag is provided when you check in for the event, so no need to bring your own!)
Mickeyâs Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2025 Ticket Information
(This Blog will be updated with date based pricing when that information is available)
Bonus Tip for Resort Guests
Ticket prices for Mickeyâs Not-So-Scary Halloween Party will vary depending on the date you choose. If youâre staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, the Swan and Dolphin Hotels, or Shades of Green, we have the chance to buy tickets early starting May 15. For everyone else, tickets will go on sale beginning May 22.
Ready to Plan Your Not-So-Scary Adventure?

Hi, I am Chali Francis, a vacation planner based out of Oklahoma. I spend quite a bit of time each year in Orlando exploring the theme parks and staying up to date on the latest offerings to help my clients plan magical, memorable vacations.
On a recent trip to visit EPIC Universe prior to the parkâs official opening date of May 22nd, I had the opportunity to stay at the brand-new Helios Grand HotelâUniversalâs flagship resort at Epic Universe. It is a beautifully designed property, and the level of theming throughout the hotel truly mirrors the immersive feel of the park itself. From the lighting and architecture to the artwork in the hallways, it is clear that Helios was built to be part of the story, not just a place to sleep.
One major perk: Helios offers a private, dedicated entrance directly into Epic Universe. This makes it incredibly convenient to return to your room for a midday break or to drop off souvenirs. In the Florida heatâespecially since there is not much shade in the park yetâthis easy back-and-forth access is something guests will really appreciate.
The on-site dining was another highlight. I had a pasta dish at Terra Flora that I will genuinely be thinking about for a whileâit was that good. And Bar Helios offers great drinks with even better views of the park, especially at night.
When it comes to the rooms, Helios offers some truly elevated features. Each room includes a digital tablet where you can make requests, view your folio, and access hotel information. There are also thoughtful touches like automatic drapes, which add to the overall upscale feel of the space. I found the beds to be very comfortable, and I had a great nightâs sleep during my stay.
That said, it is worth noting that the area to get ready is on the smaller side. The bathroom does have a split-bath layout, which is helpful for multiple people getting ready at onceâone person can be in the shower while another uses the vanityâbut it is still just a single-sink setup with limited counter space. Something to keep in mind if you are traveling with a group
The Standard Rooms at Helios Grand Hotel feature two queen beds and a split bathroom layout. These rooms can accommodate up to five guests with the addition of a rollaway bed (available upon request and subject to availability).
For families looking for a more immersive stay, the How to Train Your Dragon Kidsâ Suites are a fantastic option. These themed suites offer a separate kidsâ room inspired by the Isle of Berk, complete with two twin beds and playful dĂŠcor straight out of the How to Train Your Dragon films. The main bedroom includes a king bed for the adults. These suites can also sleep up to five guests total.
One important thing to note: Helios does not include Universalâs Express Pass benefit like some of the other Premier Resorts (such as Royal Pacific, Portofino Bay, or Hard Rock Hotel). If you are planning to spend time in Universal Studios Florida or Islands of Adventure, I still recommend one of those three hotels for the Express Pass perk.
My top recommendation? Do a split stay. Spend the nights you are visiting Epic Universe at Helios to enjoy the immersive experience and convenient park access, and book another Premier Resort (Royal Pacific, Hard Rock or Portofino Bay) for the days you are touring the original parks. While Universal is not currently offering luggage transfers between Helios and the other resorts, it is still very easy to catch a quick rideshare or shuttle. You can drop your luggage at Bell Services at Helios, grab your key, and head straight through the private entrance into the park.
If you do book a stay at Helios, I highly recommend upgrading to a theme park view room. Watching the park come alive at night from your window is a truly special touch that makes the stay even more memorable.
The resort also features a well-equipped fitness center, a fun arcade, and a beautiful pool area that I hope to enjoy more on a future visit. While I did not have much time for relaxing on this trip, those amenities definitely caught my eye.
