🎃 Not us getting emotional saying goodbye to Ha 🎃 Not us getting emotional saying goodbye to Halloween! 😭💀

To be fair… we’ve been celebrating since the very first night of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary, so that’s nearly three months of nonstop spooky magic. 👻✨ The best part? After eight not so scary parties, we finally met Jack and Sally! 🖤 It was simply meant to be. 🥀

This family has loved every minute — but now it’s time to trade pumpkins for pixie dust and welcome all things merry at Walt Disney World. 🎄🏰

🖤 Until next time, spooky season — see ya real soon!👇 Tag a fellow Halloween lover who’s not ready to let the season go either!

🚨 BREAKING: GROUND DELAY issued at MCO, effecti 🚨 BREAKING: GROUND DELAY issued at MCO, effective immediately 10/30/25

Flights to MCO are experiencing significant delays. Averaging about 161 minutes (nearly 3 hours), due to a ground delay program implemented because of staffing shortages in Orlando. Earlier today the FAA warned there would be no certified air traffic controllers working tonight, and is now relying on air traffic control supervisors to help keep flights moving.

If you’re traveling with kids, here are a few airport survival tips to make the wait a little easier:

🧩 Create an airport scavenger hunt — Have your kids spot certain signs, colors, or airlines.
🍕 Turn snack time into an adventure — Let them pick one “special” treat from an airport shop.
🎬 Download shows or movies now — Wi-Fi can be spotty when everyone’s streaming.
✈️ Storytime — Have them look out the terminal window, pick an airplane and make up a fun story about it. Where did it come from? Where’s it going? Are there any famous people on it? 
🚶‍♀️ Walk it out — Explore terminals and burn some energy before boarding.

💡 Pro tip: Follow your airline’s app for real-time updates before heading to the gate — many are adjusting departure times as conditions evolve.
