In Orlando, fall begins on September 22, 2026 (by astronomy) and September 1 (by weather). Though in terms of real temperature changes, it typically feels like it begins between late October and November. This means that you can still get your summer bucket list done while rocking summer outfits!
📍Universal Studios Florida
We know that Halloween is 100% the most anticipated fall event by almost everybody. So, to kick-start the autumn hype, let’s start strong with Halloween Horror Nights. Inarguably the Da Vinci of all Halloween events, you can’t even have a “proper” fall adventure without experiencing this. Halloween Horror Nights will feature super realistic haunted houses and scare zones inspired by famous horror films.
Prepare to scream, shout, and run for your life because this event is INTENSE. It’s so intense that only guests aged 13 and up are allowed to come. Yup, that’s right. HHN has ghosts, monsters, ghore, and all things sinister. The terrifying characters don’t seem to mind it, though. HHN is confidently regarded as the Golden Ticket Legend for the Best Halloween Event. Would you want to miss it?
📍Universal Islands of Adventure
Fall without the classic treat for theme park thrill-seekers? Ha! Want a more adrenaline-packed fall outing? Make your way to Skull Island: Reign of Kong. The secrets and thrills on this mysterious island are sure to get your heart racing! For an extra creepy feel, go for a ride after dark to enhance the eerie setting.
📍Diagon Alley, Universal Studios Florida
Young wizards in training should not miss a mystical visit to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Stock up for school and make sure to check out Scribbulus for your writing gear and Wiseacre’s Wizard Equipment for all your magical class needs. Of course, don't forget to swing by Madam Malkin’s Robes for All Occasions to grab your wizard robes.
Another unmissable attraction that screams autumn all over, Revenge of the Mummy is as chilling and thrilling as it sounds. This ride is inspired by the timeless Universal film series (which itself drew from the legendary Universal Monster movies). The cobwebs and skeletons will make you want to start carving pumpkins and putting together your costume right away.
📍All three (3) parks + CityWalk
Exploring UOR in fall is perfect because it balances the lingering warmth of summer and the coming cool breeze. And what’s a better way to feel the spirit of fall than this frothy favorite.

Butterbeer is available at several locations within the resort, but the most popular spot to grab a cup is at the following:
The Orlando weather won’t be experiencing any HUGE shift soon. Meaning, you can still make your summer getaways happen. Pack your swimwear and dip into the cold waters of Volcano Bay. The best part?
