If you’ve ever visited the Walt Disney World Resort during autumn (especially Magic Kingdom), you know that in the months of September and October, it morphs into one of the spookiest places in Central Florida. And if you’ve visited Magic Kingdom on Halloween night, it might be impossible for you to imagine that the very next day begins the Christmas holiday season at the park.

There’s literally an overnight transformation that takes place at Magic Kingdom, turning the frightful and fearsome and fall into a spectacular exhibit of holiday cheer and greetings of the season. And it all takes place between park close on October 31 and park open on November 1. Just take a look:

If the YouTube video posted by Disney Parks Blog seemed to be over quickly, that’s because the transformation itself takes place very quickly.

When Guests arrive at Magic Kingdom on the morning of November 1, there’s no sign of a pumpkin in the decorations at any location in the park. And the sparkling ornaments, beautifully adorned Christmas trees and ribboned evergreen boughs are just the beginning of the magic Guests can find during the holiday season at the Walt Disney World Resort.

As with any holiday, Disney always does it up right with decorations and celebrations, but when it comes to the Christmas holiday season, Disney World holds nothing back! From an extensive collection of holiday-inspired food items to holiday-inspired live entertainment and special events, there’s something for every Guest to enjoy during the holidays at Disney World.
