Fall is on its way (even though summer might make that change hard to believe), and Walt Disney World Resort is clearly ready for it. However, the Magic Kingdom's usual autumn decorations might look a bit different this year, since the recognizable Mickey Mouse wreaths are not being used!
Mickey Mouse wreaths have become a fall staple for many Disney fans (including Walt Disney World Resort fans who want to emulate the Disney Parks' incredible decor by creating DIY Mickey wreaths like these at home). However, in honor of the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort, the wreaths are being switched this year to pumpkin wreaths that are portraying Cinderella's carriage!
You can take a look at one of the carriage pumpkins in the photograph shown below! Previously in 2021, both the Cinderella carriage pumpkins and the Mickey pumpkins were central parts of the autumnal wreaths in the Magic Kingdom. Now in 2022, Cinderella has apparently taken over for the season!
Walt Disney World Resort Cast Members have already started working behind the scenes (presumably at night, just as they do during Christmastime) to redecorate the iconic Disney Park with autumnal decor — even though Florida is still experiencing summer heat and summer storms. There have been many fall decorations popping up in the Magic Kingdom; check out photos of the decor in the Tweet below from journalist Ashley Carter!

While it is likely that the Mickey pumpkin wreaths will return each year since they are popular with Magic Kingdom Guests, it seems unlikely that the Cinderella carriage pumpkin wreaths will return since they are limited-edition decorations pertaining to the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort.
Do you prefer the Mickey pumpkin wreaths or the Cinderella carriage wreaths when it comes to fall and autumn decorations in Disney Parks (or at your own home, if you go the DIY route and follow this tutorial)?
