2. Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
Get a kick-start to the Halloween season. For the young – and the young at heart – Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party will get you in the holiday spirit (pun intended). Come dressed in your favorite (family friendly) costume, or just enjoy people watching. Attend the Scream-o-Ween Dance Party, or experience the Halloween-themed rides and attractions. Note, this event takes place select Mondays, Tuesday, and Fridays at Magic Kingdom Park Walt Disney World® Resort, and will require a park admission.
3. Disney’s BoardWalk
Experience the timeless charm of Disney’s BoardWalk. There’s something for everyone to enjoy at this quarter-mile promenade featuring fine dining, unique shops and exciting nightlife. Stroll along the water’s edge, play afternoon midway games and enjoy evening street performers. Reminiscent of turn-of-the-century boardwalks like Coney Island and Atlantic City, Disney’s BoardWalk is a short stroll to Epcot and a breezy boat ride to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
4. Surrey Bikes
Bring along a friend (or three) and rent a Surrey Bike for a fun excursion on wheels. You can explore waterfront boardwalks and woodsy pathways. Cruise along the banks of the Sassagoula River, pedal down the promenade by Barefoot Bay, or wheel around a woodland trail. Agoraphobic adventurers can opt for traditional single rider bikes instead. There are rental locations throughout the Walt Disney World® Resort, FL. Check the Surrey Bikes page for more details.
5. Spas
After a busy day of working, learning and networking, you might enjoy a respite from all the buzz. Why not treat yourself to a rejuvenating spa experience? Feel your cares melt away with a relaxing massage, or awaken your senses with a luxurious facial. There are various spa locations throughout the Walt Disney World® Resort, FL. Appointments are strongly recommended. See the Spas page for more information.
