Special Halloween attractions are available throughout the park such as the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular, the Happy HalloWishes fireworks show and the ultimate in spooky fun, the Boo-to-You Halloween Parade.
When you are ready to dance the night away, head to the Scream-o-Ween Dance Party to hang out with Mike and Sulley from the Monsters Inc. movies.
Disney Halloween on the High Seas
What’s better than a spook-tacular party on land? A Halloween celebration aboard a Disney cruise ship, of course! Halloween on the High Seas cruises range from three-night cruises departing from Port Canaveral to week-long sojourns sailing from New York City. The ghoulish voyage’s earliest sail dates are in September, meaning you have plenty of flexibility when planning the perfect Halloween trip.
Onboard vacationers can take part in Mickey’s Mouse-querade Party, the Nightmare Before Christmas Sing and Scream, special Halloween activities for the kids and even an adults-only Halloween party where you can enter a costume contest.
Other Fall Fun Activities at Walt Disney World
There are other fun things to do in the parks in addition to attending Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party or embarking on a Halloween adventure on the High Seas. If a simple character dinner is more of your cup of tea, head to Hollywood & Vine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios park. From early September through early November, you can dine with Minnie, Daisy, Pluto and others dressed in their best Halloween attire.
Want to experience something other than mouse-shaped pumpkins and candy? Stroll into Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival, held every fall from late August to mid-November. Here, vacationers can enjoy celebrity Chef demonstrations, wine and beer seminars and even live music at the Eat to the Beat Concert series.
