Some Halloween-focused events begin as early as September in this vibrant city so no matter when you arrive, you’ll find there’s plenty to add to your itinerary. If you’re heading here with the kids included in your crew and you’re looking for some fun stops that include trick-or-treating, be sure to add the following to your list when travel plans bring you this way.
Infuse Trick-or-treating Fun into Your Theme Park Experiences
There’s a good chance that if you’re traveling to Orlando with the entire family in tow, you likely have some quality time set aside to check out the city’s world-class theme parks.

With a ticket in hand, you and your crew can enjoy this Halloween festival that’s more fun than spooky and includes a wide variety of beloved Disney characters in Halloween costumes. Trick-or-treating through the park is a big part of the experience and it goes hand-in-hand with an impressive fireworks display, character meet and greets, themed rides, and a parade as well.
If your October itinerary includes time at LEGOLAND in Orlando, you’ll want to be sure to participate in the Brick-or-Treat Monster Party on-site that’s running on select days between September 13 and October 27, 2024.
