If you are visiting Florida during this season, do not miss Halloween in the Disney and Universal theme parks in Orlando. Between entertainment, parades, haunted houses, and shows, here is what these two parks offer during this period.

MICKEY’S NOT-SO-SCARY HALLOWEEN PARTY – DISNEY ORLANDO

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party takes place at Magic Kingdom from August 25 to November 1, 2017. As the name suggests, this event is themed around Halloween, but it is absolutely not frightening, which means children of all ages can enjoy it.

During Mickey’s Not-So-Scary, you can watch the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular show, the Happy Hallowishes Fireworks, and the parade Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween.

Of course, you can also dress up and take part in the famous Trick-or-Treat throughout the park in specific areas (see the map below). You will also have access to Magic Kingdom attractions. More information can be found here about Halloween at Disney Orlando.
