While a visit to the Mouse is on the list for a lot of vacationers heading to Orlando any time of year, there are other Orlando Halloween activities and attractions, many full of Halloween spirit, to fill your time. No matter how you celebrate Halloween or the fall season, there’s something for everyone. Make sure to bring a mask, as some places may require it for entry.
Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and all your favorite Disney characters have concocted a spooky show full of family Halloween fun for all ages. After the Magic Kingdom closes for the evening, bash attendees will enjoy party music, decorations, “Character Cavalcades” and more. It’s a Halloween party like no other. Make sure to dress in costume and bring your Trick-or-Treat bag to collect treats from characters in their Halloween flair. There are no day park tickets or reservations required after purchase, but there are only a few select dates still available. Another perk to this ghoulish party: the after-hours ticketed event means smaller crowds and shorter wait times at your favorite rides and attractions!
Save your cash for other souvenirs and experiences during your trip, and head to the Promenade at Sunset Walk for the Kids’ Trick or Treating & “Trunk” or Treat car show.
