8 Hauntingly Great Tips for Celebrating Halloween at Walt Disney World

If you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World during the Halloween season, there are plenty of spooky, family-friendly activities to make your vacation extra magical. From park festivities to resort fun, here are 8 tips to help you get the most out of your Halloween adventure.

1. Dine with Halloween Characters at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Head to Hollywood & Vine for a character dining experience where Minnie and friends are dressed in their Halloween best. Not only is the buffet full of delicious options, but your kids will love meeting characters like Vampire Mickey and Cowboy Goofy. Plus, children under 3 eat free at All-You-Care-To-Enjoy dining locations.

2. Join Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit at EPCOT

EPCOT offers a special seasonal scavenger hunt called Pluto’s Pumpkin Pursuit. Purchase a game board and explore the park to find hidden character-themed pumpkins. Once you’ve completed the hunt, return your board for a fun Halloween surprise. The scavenger hunt is available from September 27 to November 1, while supplies last, and is a great way for the whole family to enjoy the fall atmosphere at EPCOT.

3. Arrive Early to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

For those attending Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom, plan to arrive early. The event officially starts in the evening, but guests with party tickets can enter the park as early as 4 p.m. This allows you to get a jump start on your night, take photos, and enjoy the earlier parade at 8:15 p.m. Make sure to get those iconic family photos in before the kids (or adults!) start getting tired.

4. Dress Up in Your Favorite Costume

Adults and kids alike can dress up for Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! It’s the perfect time to get creative with a family-themed costume. Whether you choose characters from Toy Story or Neverland, make sure to check Disney’s costume guidelines before heading to the park. Group costumes are a great way to get the whole family involved in the Halloween fun.

5. Celebrate Halloween at Disney Springs

Disney Springs gets into the spooky spirit with seasonal décor, live entertainment, and special Halloween treats. In the evenings, you’ll find street performers and DJs hosting dance parties with a spooky twist. As you stroll through Disney Springs, take in the festive atmosphere and shop for exclusive Halloween merchandise.

6. Capture Halloween Memories at Disney PhotoPass Studio

Head to the Disney PhotoPass Studio at Disney Springs for a Halloween-themed photo session. No reservations are required, and it’s a great way to capture professional photos of your family in costume. You can view and purchase your photos through the My Disney Experience app, and if you have Memory Maker, the downloads are included.

7. Enjoy a Spooky Movie at Your Disney Resort

After a long day of fun at the parks, relax with a spooky movie under the stars at your Disney Resort hotel. Many resorts offer nightly movies, and during Halloween, you can expect to find Halloween-themed films on the schedule. Grab some treats from the resort’s quick-service dining and enjoy a cozy night with the family.

8. Join Halloween Activities at Your Disney Resort

On Halloween night, check with your Disney Resort for special activities like trick-or-treating, costume parades, scavenger hunts, and even poolside parties. Each resort has its own schedule of festive activities, so make sure to ask the front desk or check the resort’s activities board.

With these tips, you’ll have a spooktacular time celebrating Halloween at Walt Disney World. Whether you're visiting the parks, exploring Disney Springs, or enjoying your resort’s festivities, there’s no shortage of magical Halloween experiences to enjoy!
