 2. It gets darker earlier  Daylight savings time shifts and this means it gets darker earlier. This definitely works to your advantage at Disney World during the autumn months. You can experience the rides and attractions in a different light – literally- when it’s dark! The fireworks seem brighter because it’s dark when they begin. You get a few more ...

1. Cooler temperatures   Let’s be honest: it’s warm and humid almost year-round in central Florida. However, during the autumn months the high temperatures start to hover a little lower on the thermometer than during the scorching summer months. You still won’t need a jacket (most likely), but it does make your time in the parks a little more enjoyable!   

Each season at Walt Disney World holds different appeal. Winter means Christmas decorations and cooler temperatures while touring. Spring brings the Flower and Garden festival and beautiful landscaping everywhere in the World. Summer means lots of sunshine and no school for those water park days. And autumn? Here are 10 reasons you’ll love visiting Walt Disney World during the autumn ...

20. Relax! It’s a vacation. Yes, it requires planning and yes, you do have to put some effort in on the front end, but you are on vacation! Magical moments are literally everywhere at Disney World. Slow down and soak up the atmosphere around you! Enjoy a cupcake on Main Street, sit and people watch, and relax. Spend some time ...

19. You can’t do it all Disney is so big that you simply can’t do it all, even if you stay for a month! Go with the attitude that you will miss some attractions because you just cannot do every single one. Prioritize as you plan to try and see the ones most important to your family, and don’t stress ...

18. Strollers If you will be needing a stroller while you are at Disney, you have several options. You can bring your own, rent one from an outside company, or rent one from the parks. Which option will work best for you will depend on your needs and the ages of children traveling with you. Having your own or renting ...

16. Character meals Disney offers a lot of great choices when it comes to meeting the characters – and character meals are the most fun way to get more face time with the characters! You can choose from breakfast, lunch, or dinner, with any number of combinations of characters, at many different restaurants. As you eat, the characters make their ...

17. Extra Magic Hours As an on-property resort guest, you are entitled to extra magic hours at the parks. Each day, one park will have “EMH.” Sometimes the park will open early, sometimes it will stay open later. You get to enjoy shorter wait times (and usually, cooler temperatures too). It’s definitely a huge perk to staying on-property!

15. Bring snacks! You CAN bring your own snacks into the parks, provided they are nicely stashed inside your park bag (which will be examined upon entering the park). Having a stash of snacks to hand out to your group while waiting in line for an attraction can make the difference between a cranky toddler and a happy, enjoyable experience.

14. It’s going to rain At some point, chances are it is going to rain while you are at Disney. Florida is known for its afternoon pop up showers, and I can’t remember a trip that we didn’t get caught in one. Be prepared with emergency ponchos so the rain won’t make your day a wash out! There are lots ...
