Magical Mal's Diary

hi, I'm Mallory ✨

Your guide to the magic

Think of this as planning your trip with a friend who really loves Disney World. I've graded every ride, reviewed every resort and restaurant, shared what I actually wear to the parks, and built a planner that maps out your days in minutes. All you have to do is pack the ears.

this week at Disney World πŸ“‹

This Week at Disney World: August 1 to 7

Halloween party season starts Thursday, Extended Evening Hours are back, and the afternoon storms are actually your friend. Your week at a glance.

Happy August! This is the first of my weekly briefs: a quick rundown of what's actually happening at Disney World this week, so you can plan (or daydream) like you live here. Grab an iced coffee and let's go.

In the parks this week

The big one: Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party starts Thursday, August 7. Yes, Halloween begins in the first week of August, and honestly I think that's wonderful. The first parties of the year are usually the cheapest and least crowded of the whole run, and they do sell out. If a party night could fit your trip, grab tickets now, then read my full party game plan.

Also happening: Extended Evening Hours are back on select nights this August. If you're staying at a Deluxe resort, you get two extra hours in the park after everyone else heads home. It's my favorite perk on property and worth planning a night around.
