Visitor tips

  • What to wear: Choose costumes that are comfortable yet thematic. Lightweight fabrics and layers are ideal as temperatures can vary throughout the night. Aim for outfits that allow you to move freely so you can fully enjoy all the activities without feeling restricted.
  • Strategize your visit: Arrive early to beat the rush and plan your route in advance. Keep an eye on event updates and prioritize must-see attractions to make the most of your visit without the stress of crowded lines.
  • Go trick-or-treating later in the night: Candy lines are shortest during the final hour of the party, and Cast Members are often generous with portions as closing time approaches.
  • Prioritize the Boo-To-You Parade early: The first parade is typically less crowded than the second and easier to watch with kids. Prime viewing spots along Frontierland tend to feel less congested than Main Street, U.S.A.
  • Use the My Disney Experience app religiously: Entertainment times, ride wait fluctuations, and treat locations change quickly during the party. Refreshing the app regularly can save you a lot of walking and waiting.
  • Snack smart instead of dining heavy: Skip long table-service meals during the party and focus on mobile-order snacks and Halloween treats so you don’t miss parades, fireworks, or rare character sightings. 
  • Make your dining reservations: Reserve dining options well in advance to avoid peak-period crowds. Look for places within the park that offer quick bites or themed snacks.
  • Character meet-and-greets are the hidden win: Halloween parties often feature rare characters or villains that don’t appear during regular park hours. The lines can be long, but the photos and interactions are unique.
  • Save reimagined attractions for after the fireworks: Ride wait times typically drop right after the nighttime spectacular, making it the best window to experience Halloween-enhanced attractions with minimal waits.
