Welcome to planDisney, Yolene!
My family and I had a spooktacular Halloween at Disney's Hollywood Studios last year. My kids felt right at home walking around Toy Story Land dressed as Buzz Lightyear and Jessie. All Guests ages 13 and under can wear costumes 365 days a year, just make sure to review the
specific guidance about costumes with masks. Additional guidelines apply to Guests over the age of 13 that wish to wear costumes. Nana and Grandpa looked pretty dapper Disney-bounding as Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head! Additional Halloween touches to our day included a Halloween Lunch Box Tart from
Woody's Box Lunch (
mobile order recommended), a ride on
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and a new pair of Halloween ears for mama.
Back at our Disney Resorts Collection hotel, Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa, there were several frighteningly fun activities going on throughout the week. At Community Hall, Cast Members were giving out candy from a large cauldron as well as ghost lollipops. There were a couple of complimentary Halloween crafts and my son was given a large packet of Halloween coloring pages and crayons to take back to the room with us. I encourage you to seek out the activities board at your resort upon arrival, which is typically found close to the lobby and/or main pool area. Take a picture with your phone so you can reference it when planning out your day. Activities range from on-theme pool games to movies on the lawn.
This year, my family will be spending Halloween at EPCOT. My kids are especially excited about participating in Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit scavenger hunt. This search for 12 pumpkins will take you all around the park. Maps for this entertaining escapade can be purchased at Port of Entry, Creations Shop, and World Traveler. Return your map to Disney Traders or World Traveler at International Gateway for a sur-prize!
Experience tells me you will have a frighteningly fun time at the parks and resorts this Halloween, Yolene. Please return to planDisney with any other trip-planning questions.
Choose magic,
Jennifer
