Trick or Treat

Does anyone know of any trick or treat places to go to OTHER than MNSSHP? I want my 7 yr old to trick or treat but we are not going to the party!

There is trick-or-treating at Downtown Disney, and it's free!

Here's a recent article from the Orlando Sentinel:


Happy Haunting returns to Downtown Disney

Downtown Disney will again host its free trick-or-treating event Oct. 30 and 31. The schedule for this year’s Happy Haunting hasn't been released yet, but here is what was offered last year from 5 to 9 p.m.


Children could dress up and collect candy at these stores: World of Disney, Team Mickey, Once Upon a Toy, Pooh Corner, Disney's Days of Christmas, World of Memories, Disney's Pin Traders, Mickey's Pantry, Mickey's Groover, DisneyQuest Emporium and Pin Cart West Side.

Storytelling took place at the iron gate near World of Disney at 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

A magician and a comedian took turns wowing young participants at the pumpkin patch near the Earl of Sandwich. The magician performed at 6 p.m., 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., and the comedian took the stage at 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m.

Throughout the night, a DJ spun tunes for a dance party at the Fountain Stage and skeleton stilt walkers mingled with the crowd. There were special photo opportunities in both the Marketplace and the West Side.

The later you arrive, the more patience you will need with parking because the lots do fill up quickly. Once we were walking around, though, the crowds were manageable. We had so much fun last year that we definitely will be going again this year.

Your resort also may have offer trick-or-treating, on a much smaller scale. I remember there were kids trick-or-treating at WL last Halloween.

We stopped at DTD that night before we left WDW to drive home. The parking lots were just crazy!!! But, as the previous poster mentioned, the crowds walking around were manageable, and it had a fun atmosphere. Just take WDW transportation to DTD if at all possible. Have a great time!
