Why We’re HAPPILY DREADING August 29th in Orlando

August is about to be BUSY in Orlando.

August Crowds in Disney World

If you’re heading to Disney World, you may already be planning to attend Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which starts earlier in August. However, there’s one particular date that will be extra wild in Orlando, and if you’re in town, you’ll want to be prepared.

August 29th may not seem like a special date in particular, but it’s the start date for TWO big events in the Orlando area. Halloween Horror Nights begins in Universal Orlando on August 29th, and we know this will be a MASSIVELY busy day for the resort as a whole. Especially because we’re waiting to see if Epic Universe will announce if they’ll be adding any Epic Universe Halloween Horror Nights additions.

However, on the SAME day, Destination D23 will begin on August 29th as well, meaning that Disney World could be just as busy. It also means we’ll be pulling double duty, covering two massive events on one day, but no need to fear — we’ll be more than ready to make it happen and bring you all the important news you need to know.
