Autumn and winter are the “hidden gems” of Disney!

After visiting Disney 15 times, I discovered: autumn is the villains’ grand carnival, with the castle covered in pumpkin vines; winter is a fairy tale woven from snowflakes, where Mickey tells bedtime stories in the falling snow. This article reveals all the 2025 limited Easter eggs, hidden photo spots, and interactive details, even veteran players will find new surprises!​ 🍁 Autumn Edition (October-November): The mischievous fairy tale ruled by villains​ 🌞 9 AM: The “Villains’ Gathering” under the castle​ Don’t rush to the rides! First, stake out the balcony of the Fantasyland castle — at exactly 3 PM, Mother Gothel will appear waving her magic wand and shout the secret phrase “Welcome to the dark fairy tale.” Respond with a pumpkin lantern, and she’ll toss you a sticker Easter egg. Even more exciting, at the exit of the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, the Evil Queen leans on a tree stump, saying “Answer the riddle for candy” (answer: poisoned apple).​ 👉 Secret photo spot: The Red Queen’s throne in Alice’s Maze, no one occupies it before 10 AM! Wear a white dress to shoot; surrounded by mist, it looks like stepping into a dark fairy tale poster.​ 🌆 3 PM: The “Sweet Operation” of trick-or-treaters​ A must-play for families: “Trick or Treat”! Buy a pumpkin bucket in Mickey Avenue in advance (69 RMB), then find staff at the Woodland Theater to say the secret phrase. The trick is to have your kid do a little dance to get extra StellaLou-shaped candy. Don’t miss Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood — he wears a caramel-colored Halloween sweater, holds a maple leaf honey jar, and secretly slips you honey hard candy when you high-five.​ 🌙 7 PM: The “High-energy Moment” of the Villains’ Parade​ Reserve front-row seats in Fantasy Garden an hour early! Donald Duck leads wearing a pirate hat, and when the Queen of Hearts passes by holding a torch, the torchlight turns the surrounding mist red. The most stunning is Cruella’s float, with black fur flying to the music, suddenly showering golden glitter rain. The moment kids reach out to catch it is picture-perfect.​ ⚠️ Easter egg: The 9:15 PM “Pumpkin Fantasy” fireworks show has new effects — the castle suddenly “cracks open,” releasing a 3D projection of a swarm of bats, combined with real fireworks bursting into pumpkin shapes.​ ❄️ Winter Edition (December-February): Fairy tales awaken in the snowflakes​ 🌞 11 AM: The “Snowball Party” in Zootopia​ The brand-new 2025 “Crazy Snow Rolling Festival” is so heartwarming! The street lamps in Zootopia are wrapped in ice crystals, and the snowball tree glows blue. Judy wears a white braided hat, Nick sports a red scarf, and they invite you to play a “snowball rolling contest” (actually soft foam balls). Winners get a limited-edition badge, and Nick will quietly say, “Don’t tell Mrs. Fox I hid some candy.”​ 🌆 4 PM: The “Snowfall Story” on Mickey Avenue​ Don’t miss “Mickey’s Wonderful Snowfall Moment”! When night falls, snowflakes suddenly drift down between the street lamps, and Mickey’s voice comes from the speakers: “Once upon a time, there was a snow baby…” Minnie waves in front of the candy house, snowflakes stick to her bow, and if you shoot with slow shutter on your phone, the snowflakes turn into golden light spots.​ 👉 Warm-up must-have: Paparino’s cinnamon hot cocoa (45 RMB), the cup sleeve can be removed as a souvenir, and there’s a surprise marshmallow at the bottom.​ 🌙 8 PM: The encounter of ice sculptures and starlight​ The “Zootopia” ice sculptures in Fantasy Garden are incredibly lifelike! Lulu holds an ice cream cone, and Mr. Big’s top hat reflects light. Nearby, the “Ice Workshop” offers DIY ice sculpture keychains (68 RMB), where the artist engraves your name on ice — a cool, special keepsake.​ Hidden tip: Don’t leave right after the fireworks! Take the last ride on the Crystal Color Cruise; warm yellow lights reflect the castle, snowflakes fall on the water, like illustrations from a fairy tale book.​ 📸 Autumn and winter exclusive photo spots (veteran players’ secret)​ Autumn dark vibe: Treasure Cove’s “Ghost Pirate” ship stern, lights turn on at 6 PM, Captain Jack dances on deck, silhouette shots look like movie posters;​ Winter romantic vibe: Next to the Fantasia Carousel, shoot in portrait mode when snowflakes fall, the carousel lights blur into a ring of stars;​ Late-night serene vibe: After 10 PM in Tomorrowland, the neon light trails of Tron Lightcycle and the starry sky intertwine, perfect for cyberpunk-style shots.​ 📌 2025 Autumn and Winter Ultimate Tips​ Outfit formula:​ Autumn: Black and red color-block sweatshirt + Martin boots, wear a bat headband;​ Winter: White down jacket + plush scarf, paired with Mickey gloves (sold in the park for 39 RMB).​ Off-peak secrets:​ Halloween Carnival Days (Oct 24-31) arrive early with early access card at 7:30 AM, no queue for villain meet-and-greets; Winter Snow Festival (from Dec 1) enter after 2 PM, fewer crowds and more snowfall shows.​ Limited-time treats:​ Autumn: Pumpkin-shaped mousse (88 RMB), with a chocolate “spider” inside;​ Winter: Snow Baby hot waffles (58 RMB), drizzled with blueberry sauce like snowflakes.​ Reservation reminders:​ Book villain meet-and-greets and ice sculpture DIY one day in advance on the app; reserve front-row seats for the winter parade starting at 5 PM.
