Disney Springs might be the easiest place to feel Halloween at Walt Disney World. You don't need a park ticket or a party ticket to walk in, and right now the whole district is dressed in its Fall into Magic decor, with seasonal treats all over the district. I've visited with my parents and my daughter, and it's where I send families who want a relaxed evening between park days.
Here's what I'd put on your list this season: the Halloween treats, the dining lineup, the new Level99 and Drawn to Life, plus how long each treat sticks around.
Most Halloween items arrived August 11, but end dates vary. Some wrap up October 31 and others run into November, so check the date if a treat is the reason you're going.
Hocus Pocus fans, this is your stop. The Sanderson sisters inspired three eclairs: S'mores, Cherry Pie and Peanut Butter, each topped with a painted chocolate plaque.
The Vampire Mickey Cone is a pumpkin and chocolate soft-serve swirl in a black chocolate cone, rimmed with white sprinkles and topped with a chocolate Mickey coin. It started September 4 and is an easy grab on a waterfront stroll.
Disney Springs runs from quick-service counters and dessert shops to waterfront tables, including six James Beard award-winning restaurants. New spots keep arriving, like Six Ravens from the Gideon's Bakehouse team, serving savory stuffed rolls called Coffyns.
My advice: book popular sit-down restaurants ahead rather than hoping for a walk-in. My Disney dining reservations guide covers when and how to book.
Level99 opened on the Disney Springs West Side on June 29, 2026, and it's the brand's biggest location yet. It has more than 60 life-sized challenge rooms and games across two floors, built for groups of 2 to 6. Some are physical, like Axe Run, where you cross balance beams while giant foam-filled axes swing past. Others are puzzles, and 40+ pieces of bold original art fill the space.
Wear sneakers and clothes you can move in. For teens who need a break from rides, this is the stop I'd suggest.
Drawn to Life, Presented by Cirque du Soleil and Disney, plays at its own theater on the West Side. An animator's desk becomes the stage for Cirque acrobatics and Disney animation, in a show that runs about 90 minutes. You don't need a park ticket to see it, but children 2 and up need their own show ticket. It doesn't play every day, so check the Drawn to Life calendar and book early. You'll also find seasonal live entertainment around Disney Springs this fall.
Prefer shopping? World of Disney has limited-time Haunted Mansion and Nightmare Before Christmas Halloween collections. Take a quick look inside on my YouTube channel: Disney Springs World of Disney! The Coca-Cola Store is another fun stop.
The Fall into Magic sign is the photo spot of the season, and it really glows once the lights come on at dusk. We took pictures there with my parents and with my daughter, and the fall decor all around Disney Springs made the evening feel festive.
Disney Springs is usually one evening of a bigger trip. If you're still choosing dates, my guide to planning a Walt Disney World trip with a travel agent shows how I help.

No. Disney Springs is free to enter. You only pay for what you eat, buy or book, like Level99 or Drawn to Life.
It's designed for adults and teens. Younger kids can go with an adult, but check Level99's age rules first.
Level99 opened on the Disney Springs West Side on June 29, 2026.
