Disney's theme parks are gearing up for Halloween festivities, which kicked off at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on August 22, 2026. The start of Halloween Time brings with it a range of spooky decorations, food, and entertainment options.

Ahead of the holiday season, Walt Disney World has revealed its plans for the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival, which will feature various themed menus throughout the resort. Meanwhile, the company's podcast team has released new episodes covering D23 highlights and upcoming attractions.

Looking to the future, Disney is exploring innovative ways to modify existing attractions as outlined in a recent patent application. This move could signal a shift towards more interactive experiences for guests.
