Florida’s biggest theme parks are gearing up for a frightfully ghoulish time this Halloween season. From tricking or treating with Disney characters to haunted houses and scare zones that rival any Boris Karloff movie, there is something for everyone. After all, Halloween is not just for little kids anymore!
•Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights – This is the granddaddy of all Halloween events. Universal Studios has made some of the most memorable horror films and they have used that movie magic to transform the park into The Nation’s Premier Halloween Event! Haunted houses, scare zones, and live entertainment are certain to scare the living daylights out of any guest. This year there are 8 haunted houses including The Forsaken (Christopher Columbus’s 4th ship was doomed to a watery grave and the crew are seeking vengeance), Winter’s Night (a gothic cemetery that is anything put peaceful), and Nevermore: The Madness of Poe (based on Poe’s works). Scare zones (6 in all) will have creatures popping out at you and have you wondering if your luck has run out. Plus, some of the park’s most popular rides are open too.
Event runs on select nights from September 23rd – October 31st. Children under the age of 13 are not advised to attend. Separate ticket is required. Florida Residents can save up to $40 with a UPC from a Coca-Cola product or specially-marked cups from Burger King restaurants. For more information, visit www.halloweenhorrornights.com/orlando
•Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party – Disney is not to be outdone by Universal Studios! Mickey Mouse is inviting children of all ages to come and trick or treat at the Magic Kingdom. You can wear your costume (or not) and trick or treat throughout the park. No Mary Jane candy here – kids collect plenty of the good stuff! Plus, there is a special Mickey “Boo to You” Halloween parade led by the Headless Horseman, opportunities to take pictures with your favorite Disney villains and characters, and a spectacular Happy Hallo Wishes fireworks show.
Event runs on selected nights from September 13th – November 1st. Separate admission ticket is required. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/parks/magic-kingdom/special-events/mickeys-not-so-scary-halloween-party/
•Sea World’s Halloween Spooktacular - The best part about Sea World’s Halloween activities are they are included in your admission ticket! On select days, children are encouraged to dress up in their best Halloween costume and come trick or treating at the park. There are special shows like Sesame Street’s Countdown to Halloween Live Stage Show, Halloween themed games, face painting, and Penelope’s Party Zone where kids can make their own candy apples.
Event takes place on select weekends in October. For more information and to purchase Sea World tickets, visit http://seaworldparks.com/en/seaworld-orlando/Events/SeaWorlds-Halloween-Spooktacular
