Disney World typically starts decorating for Halloween in early to mid-August. For 2025, the Halloween decorations are expected to be up by August 15, in time for the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which runs from August 15 through October 31, 2025. The decorations stay up until about November 1, when the parks transition to Christmas decorations. Specifically:

• Decorations go up around the first full week of August, possibly as early as the first Friday of the month.
• For 2025, since the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is on August 15, decorations will be up a few days before this date.
• The decorations are usually seen through the end of October, taken down on November 1.

Disney Springs and Magic Kingdom are key places where festive Halloween decorations can be seen, with autumnal and spooky themes including pumpkins, scarecrows, and other fall decor. So for planning your visit in 2025, expect the Halloween decorations at Disney World to be showcased from early to mid- August through October 31st, with removal starting November 1st.
