Walt Disney’s love of storytelling, imagination, and unforgettable characters helped shape the Halloween traditions we still enjoy today. What’s actually worth watching—and experiencing—this Halloween? From Hocus Pocus and Marvel monsters to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Walt Disney World, Mitch and Kim explore the best of Disney Halloween, including creepy classics, nostalgic TV favorites, and overlooked gems.

In this Halloween episode of HERE WE GO! A Walt Disney World Podcast, we bring the spooky season home and into the parks. Whether you’re building a Disney Halloween movie night, looking for something different on Disney+, or dreaming of pumpkins on Main Street, join us for a conversation about the Disney stories and experiences that make October feel like October.

🎃 DISNEY HALLOWEEN MOVIES & TV
We talk Halloween entertainment, from witches and haunted houses to the movies and television shows that became seasonal traditions. Rediscover the spooky side of Disney, including Mr. Boogedy, and find inspiration for your next Halloween watchlist.

🐺 MARVEL’S MONSTERS & DARKER SIDE
Disney Halloween goes beyond friendly ghosts. Werewolf by Night brings a different kind of fright to the conversation as we explore Marvel’s place in a season filled with monsters, magic, and supernatural stories.

🏰 HALLOWEEN AT WALT DISNEY WORLD
We take the conversation into the parks, including Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, seasonal atmosphere, and the experiences that make a fall Disney World visit special. From Halloween entertainment to Disney’s year-round spooky side, there’s more to the season than a movie marathon.

👻 NOSTALGIA, HIDDEN GEMS & PERSONAL FAVORITES
Which Disney Halloween favorites deserve another watch? What makes something a yearly tradition? Mitch and Kim share their picks and personal experiences to help you build your own Disney Halloween lineup—at home, at the parks, or a little of both.

Your turn: What’s the ONE Disney movie, show, attraction, or party experience you need to make Halloween complete?

Which Disney World rides and restaurants deserve the hype—and which deserve more love? Mitch and Kim play Overrated or Underrated, debating popular Walt Disney World attractions, dining experiences and vacation choices with honest opinions, laughs and plenty of room to disagree.

Is a great ride still worth it after a long wait? Can incredible restaurant theming make up for an underwhelming meal? And when does a Disney vacation splurge become a memory you’d happily pay for again?

We weigh the experience against the time, money and expectations to help you decide what belongs on your next Disney World itinerary. Whether you’re planning your first visit or defending a longtime favorite, play along and deliver your own verdict.

Plus, we kick things off with Disney World news, including the newly announced Christmas ride overlays.

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation? Avoid the Disney World planning mistakes that can leave your family exhausted, your budget busted, and your carefully planned itinerary falling apart.

This week on Here We Go! A Walt Disney World Podcast, Mitch and Kim play “Save the Disney Vacation”—a game featuring 12 vacation dilemmas. From rope-drop burnout and long ride waits to Park Hopper regrets, expensive character meals, and kids who would rather swim at the resort, we debate how we’d rescue each trip—and how you can prevent the same problems.

Play along as we tackle:
• Disney World itinerary mistakes and overplanning
• Whether Park Hopper tickets fit your family
• Balancing theme park days with resort pool breaks
• Budgeting for Disney food, snacks, and souvenirs
• Choosing character dining experiences
• Planning Disney dining when someone eats gluten-free
• Choosing a Disney resort that meets your needs
• Traveling with kids, teenagers, and extended family

Then, we each get just three changes to save one seriously overplanned family vacation. Can we agree on a rescue plan?

Whether you’re planning your first Disney World trip or returning for another family vacation, join us for practical Disney World tips, honest opinions, and a little marital negotiation—with mouse ears.

Park Hopper or another park day? Lightning Lane Multi Pass or character dining? Mitch and Kim answer all 30 Disney World “Would You Rather?” questions in a Disney World vacation planning showdown that gets surprisingly personal.

If you’re planning a Walt Disney World trip, play along as we debate the decisions that shape your budget, resort choices, and park strategy. Would you stay longer at a Value Resort or splurge on a Deluxe Resort? Rope drop Magic Kingdom or stay out late at EPCOT? Wait for your favorite ride, buy Lightning Lane Multi Pass, book the Disney Dining Plan, or spend that money somewhere else?

We also get into Disney dining and Disney World restaurants, fireworks, rest days, water parks, EPCOT Food & Wine Festival, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and the ultimate question: repeat your best Disney vacation or plan something completely new? We make our picks, defend them, and explain which choices might work best for your family.

Planning a Walt Disney World vacation with kids, parents or grandparents? Hear a first-time Disney World visitor’s completely honest review of the rides, food, Lightning Lane, park hopping, Disney resorts and Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party after our 2026 family trip.

Grandma Joi joins Mitch and Kim to answer the question every Disney fan wants to know: Is Walt Disney World actually worth all the money, planning and walking when you’ve never been before?

We get her unfiltered first impressions of Disney World, what surprised her most, her favorite rides and attractions, the meals she loved—and the things she absolutely would NOT rush back to do again.

We’re also breaking down what families should know before taking a multigenerational Disney vacation, including traveling with grandparents, navigating the parks, keeping up with a packed itinerary, using Lightning Lane Multi Pass, park hopping, resort time and surviving several very long Disney days together.

Plus, we look back at some of the biggest experiences from our trip, including:

• Grandma’s first impressions of Walt Disney World
• Her favorite—and least favorite—Disney rides
• The Disney attractions that surprised her most
• Our best and worst Disney World food experiences
• Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP)
• Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Disney vacation planning
• Park hopping between the Disney World theme parks
• Our visit to Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon
• Traveling to Disney World with grandparents and multiple generations
• What Grandma would do differently on another Disney vacation
• Whether she would actually go back to Walt Disney World

If you’re planning your first Disney World vacation, taking your parents or grandparents to Disney, researching Disney World rides and restaurants, deciding whether MNSSHP is worth it or simply looking for honest Disney World vacation planning advice, this episode is for you.

This isn’t a perfect Instagram version of Disney World. It’s the real family version: great rides, questionable meals, tired feet, Florida heat, a whole lot of laughs—and Grandma being asked to walk approximately 47 miles because Mitch had “a plan.”

😂

Disney World 2026: Rip-Offs, Regrets & What Was Actually Worth the Money | Part 2

Was our Walt Disney World vacation actually worth the money? In Part 2 of our Disney World 2026 trip report, Mitch and Kim finish breaking down their family vacation with honest reviews of what worked, what didn’t, what was worth every penny—and what felt like a complete rip-off.

We’re picking up with the second half of the trip and talking about the Disney experiences that actually mattered once all that vacation planning met reality.

We get into rope dropping Disney’s Animal Kingdom, our Animal Kingdom touring strategy, the attractions we prioritized, crowds, early mornings, and whether getting everybody out of bed at an ungodly Disney-vacation hour was actually worth it.

Then it’s time to talk Disney World dining.

We give our honest opinions on experiences including Topolino’s Terrace, Kona Cafe at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, and the meals that left us asking one very important question:

Was it actually worth Disney prices?

We also get into the rest of our Walt Disney World vacation—including time at the Polynesian Resort, Coronado Springs Resort, pool time, the Three Bridges Bar & Grill, balancing relaxation with theme-park days, and some of the choices we would absolutely make differently on our next trip.

And because this is Here We Go!, we’re not pretending everything at Disney is magical just because Mickey Mouse is standing nearby.

We talk about our:

• Biggest Disney World hits
• Biggest disappointments
• Best and worst dining experiences
• Vacation planning mistakes
• Experiences that were worth the money
• Things we’d skip next time
• Things we’d absolutely pay for again
• Biggest surprises from the trip
• Lessons we’d use when planning our next Walt Disney World vacation

If you’re planning a Disney World vacation in 2026 or 2027, this episode is packed with real-world Disney vacation tips, honest Disney restaurant reviews, Animal Kingdom strategy, family travel advice, resort experiences, and lessons learned from actually putting a Walt Disney World vacation plan into action.

Whether you’re trying to decide where to eat at Disney World, whether you should rope drop Animal Kingdom, which Disney experiences are worth spending extra money on, or how to avoid some of the mistakes we made—this one’s for you.

No pixie-dust-coated reviews.

Just what we loved, what we regretted, what was a rip-off…

…and what was actually worth it.

We’re back from Walt Disney World, and it’s time for the full trip report!

In Part 1 of our Walt Disney World Trip Report 2026, Mitch and Kim break down the highs, the lows, the surprises, the things we’d absolutely do again — and a few things we might never do again.

We’re talking about our stay at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, taking advantage of Disney’s free water park admission on resort check-in day, and our experiences at Disney’s Blizzard Beach and Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon.

Then we’re heading into the parks!

We talk Magic Kingdom, EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including some of the biggest attractions at Walt Disney World: TRON Lightcycle / Run, Space Mountain, Slinky Dog Dash, Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

We also get into our experience at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party 2026, what worked during our Disney park days, what surprised us, and some tips we learned that could help you plan your own Walt Disney World vacation.

And because a Disney trip is never complete without talking about food, we cover dining and quick-service experiences including The Cake Bake Shop by Gwendolyn Rogers, The Boathouse at Disney Springs, Primo Piatto and more.

Which experiences lived up to the hype?

What would we change on our next Disney vacation?

Was Disney’s free water park day actually worth using?

Which rides were our favorites?

And what did we learn after actually putting our Disney World vacation plan to the test?

This is only Part 1 — because there was WAY too much from this Walt Disney World vacation to fit into one episode.

Part 2 of our Disney World Trip Report is coming soon!
