Halloween is a little over a month away. So, Orlando’s theme parks have begun hosting their annual Halloween spectaculars. Adults and teens will be frightened and terrorized at Universal Halloween Horror Nights. While the little ones will head to Walt Disney World or SeaWorld and enjoy tamer frights, tricks, and treats.
Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights
For the past 20 years, Universal has hosted the ultimate Halloween event. The park transforms into a series of haunted houses with frightfully entertaining shows. This year’s lineup of haunted houses include a visit to the Catacombs, a trip to Hades through the Gates of Ruin, a walk through the ghostly Wyandot Estate, a frightening visit to a home for the criminally insane, and more. Don’t miss Zombie Gras – a ghoulish take on Mardi Gras parades. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure makes a return visit along with some of your favorite frightening Halloween Horror characters from years past.
The event begins September 24th and continues on selected nights through Halloween. Tickets prices vary based on the night you choose to go. Package deals are available along with discounts for Florida residents. Residents and non-residents can find discount coupons on Coke Zero products throughout the Florida market and at Burger King Restaurants.
Because of the nature of the event, children under the age of 13 are strongly recommended not to attend. Visit their website for more details: www.halloweenhorrornights.com/orlando.
Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party
The Magic Kingdom has had great success with their annual Christmas party, so why not celebrate Halloween to? This is the ultimate place to do some trick or treating. Guests, big and small, are encouraged to dress up in their favorite costume as they trick or treat throughout the park. Your favorite Disney characters and villains dress up in their Halloween costumes, posing for pictures. Mickey’s Boo to You Halloween Parade is headlined by the Headless Horseman. A special fireworks show featuring Disney villains light up the night sky. Plus, some of your favorite rides will be open for you to enjoy.
There is nothing frightening about this Halloween celebration, just good clean fun. This event is held on selected nights in September, October, and November between 7PM and 12AM. Make sure to get to the gate as early as possible. It will take a while to ride the monorail or boat to the main entrance.
Tickets are cheaper if you purchase them in advance on Disney’s website. Adult tickets run in the $50’s and children (3-9) tickets run in the $40’s. Visit their website for more details: www.disneyworld.com
SeaWorld Halloween Spectacular
SeaWorld has gotten in on the act too. The best part about their Halloween celebration - a separate ticket is not required!! You can enjoy their Halloween festivities as part of your regular admission ticket. Children are allowed to wear costumes (or not) and visit 14 different treat stations scattered throughout the park. Sesame Street puts on a special Countdown to Halloween Show featuring the Count and Elmo. Their Halloween event takes place on selected days during October. All Halloween events begin at 12PM.
