Hi Kenny thank you for this list of what goes on Halloween night for 2014 – is there one available for 2015? And if not, is it your understanding that resort guests can attend ANY of these events or just the one you are staying at (we are Coronado, but would like to float to others if that is allowed) Thank you! – Bea
Yup posted it earlier this month. Also on all the recreation calendar pages. We have visited many resorts on halloween
sooo… can you kindly resend it please. I only just signed up today, I have no idea what you posted “earlier this month” thanks for the help!
It was under news section. Here ya go : http://www.kennythepirate.com/2015/09/27/disney-world-resort-halloween-activities/
Hey Kenny,
What do you suggest for parking while resort character hunting? (First time annual passholders, not staying at a Disney hotel). Do you pay for parking at each hotel? Or once you’ve paid, it’s good for the other hotels?
Thanks so much for your hard work! Much appreciated :)
Is there an update for 2015??
October resort guides
Do the resort have meet and greets during the day on Halloween or just in the evenings?
Schedules usually appear on recreation guides at beginning of oct
We will be at AoA for Halloween. Does anyone know if they had trick or treating? They show on their schedule ‘decorate a trick or treat bag.’ Does anyone know what the Big Blue Bash includes.. trick or treating?
They did last year. Schedule will be posted Oct 1.
he answered this question above – apparently anyone can go to any event, doesn’t matter what resort you are at.
Yes to which? Yes to having to stay at your own resort? Or yes to being able to go to another hotel? :)
Anyone can visit any resort
I know this is from last year but we will be there on Halloween night this year (2015) Since we are not going to MNSSHP that night, can we go to any one of these no matter where we are staying or must we stay at our own resort?
Yes
Hello Kenny! Since the MNSSHP will be very expensive in 2015 for Halloween night, we’ve decided to resort hop to meet costumed characters instead. I was just wondering if you know when these schedules are released (maybe a week in advance?). It seems that not all the resorts have characters.
Beginning of the month. All resorts had characters last year.
I assume you could only join in the activities at your resort? (I know we can go to the chip and dale camp fire at FW even if we are staying at POP but can I go to the Grand Floridian Halloween bash on the beach?)
Thanks for this, we will be at AoA for Halloween, so excited. Do you know if there will be any activities at DTD on Halloween, there was last time we were there but that was 8 years ago! Thanks.
They didn’t offer DTD Halloween events last year
Wow! Thanks, Kenny! We are staying at Pop! which doesn’t have a character meet and greet, and we will be at MK that day. Which resort would you suggest we visit for the meet and greet? We won’t have a car, so it’ll be Disney transportation.
It’s possible they may have a meet, but it’s just not mentioned on the resort guide. All stars were fun last year and you could get in three meets.
This is great. Every year I have to scour the web for this info. And this is first I’ve seen it all in one place. You filled a need — great job!
I”ll have the full recreation guides up later today too.
Tell me do they do anything like this on Thanksgiving?
Christmas, Easter and Halloween
Thanks for sharing this Kenny!
Who are the meet and greets with at these resorts?
No way to know in advance
Any idea what characters we could expect at Port Orleans Riverside?
Can you go to any of the resorts for activities? We are staying at pop, which has some stuff, but no trick or treating. Would live to go to one of the ones that does!
No way to know in advance
Looks like so much fun.
Kenny, do you know if any of the resorts to any special activities for Christmas ? Any special characters at resorts ?
Yes, look at my Holiday Happenings section on the left
Schedules won’t be released until early dec
