A mainstay of the Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Halloween decorations is the pumpkin band that surrounds the flag pole on Main Street, USA (the band even has its own Mayor, for some reason!). I view this pumpkin as the band leader, as I find his costume somewhat similar to the famous “Mickey Mouse Band
Another Disney photo from my night of walking around photographing pumpkins and fall decorations in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.

This Walt Disney World trip report features over 800 Disney photos, and thoughts from our visit during Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party, Magic Kingdom’s 40th Anniversary, and Epcot’s International Food & Wine Festival.
