From the SeaWorld website

Just a reminder that all guests ages 2+ must wear an approved face covering at all times. Please refer to the SeaWorld Park Safety website for all of the increased safety measures.

It’s been many years since we last visited the SeaWorld Orlando Halloween Spooktacular. Its a cute event. I just always warn parents about choosing costumes that kids won’t overheat in. Please bring a change of clothes. Here in Florida we don’t even get our first cool front til mid-October. With the festivities starting in mid-September you are still looking at daytime temps in the 90s, please plan accordingly.

I know I’m writing this post while Walt Disney World is closed. I believe one of the best ways to get through all this craziness going on in the world is to look toward the future and to have plans made to look forward to. We have been discussing our annual fall cruise today and just looking at cruises has made me so happy. So, why not plan your next Disney trip now and include an some Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party tickets as well? Tickets have been on sale since February but thanks to the shutdown there are still plenty of tickets available.

Have you ever been to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party before? I love it, and I’m not a big Halloween fan. You can wear costumes if you choose, yes even adults! Here are the Halloween Party Costume Guidelines from Disney:

General Costume Guidelines

• All Guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other Guests.
• Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable or violent.
• Costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
• Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest.
• Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused entry into, and/or removed from, the park unless his or her costume can be modified to meet the above standards.

For Guests Age 13 and Under

• Costumes and some masks may be worn, as long as the mask does not cover the entire face and eyes are visible.

For Guests Age 14 and Older

• Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.

• Themed T-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts and hats are acceptable.
• Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic light sabers, toy swords and tutus. Headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face.
• Masks of any kind may not be worn.

All rules and regulations are subject to change without notice.

Trick or Treating

When you arrive at the party each guest receives a treat bag, teal colored bags are available for those with food allergies and sensitivities. Throughout the park there are treat trails where cast members hand out generous amounts delicious candy to adults and children.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party Entertainment

There are several special party entertainment options. You can see you favorite characters in their Halloween costumes. You can even have your picture taken with some rarely seen characters during the party. You can enjoy the amazing Boo! to You! Halloween Parade. Make sure you find your spot early because you don’t want to miss the headless horseman! There is also the Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular stage show and Disney’s Not So Spooky Spectacular fireworks and laser light show.

For many, a favorite part of the party is trying the special treat options available for purchase. Some are only available at special dining (Cruella’s Halloween Hide A Way) or at the two dessert parties, so talk with your Disney travel agent about what the best plan is for your visit.

The dates that worked in our busy fall schedule meant that we would be cruising over Halloween. We aren’t big Halloween people and we were a bit hesitant about booking Halloween on the Fun Ships but in the end we decided to give it a try. We re so glad we did, we had a great time!

Carnival Cruise Line celebrates Halloween all October long, so your cruise dates don’t have to fall over the 31st like ours did. All cruises departing in the month of October include the Halloween festivities.

Halloween Activities on Carnival

• Halloween Decor featuring Patch the Pumpkin-headed Pirate
• Trick or Treating for the kids
• Pumpkin Carving contest
• Costume Crawl
• Patch’s Pumpin’ Deck Party
• Costume Contest
• Halloween themed Dive-In Movies (on select ships)
• Frightfully fun dance classes
• Guess that Frightful song trivia
• Patch’s Spook-tackular Bingo
• Storytime with your Cruise Director and Patch
• The Scary Chest Competition
• Scary story time for kids
• …and more!

One day of your cruise will be designated as “Halloween” and that is when the costumes come out. Most people don’t dress in their costumes til evening. Many, like us, wore their costumes to dinner in the Main Dining Room, and then to all of the evening’s events.

Carnival Cruise Line Halloween Costume Guidelines

Both adults and children are encouraged to bring costumes and join in the fun. Guests may wear masks only in special function areas and guests must be identifiable. Masks must be removed when in common areas. Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics is not permitted. Clothing which, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment is not permitted. Costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon. Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest. Guests who do not adhere to the costume guidelines may be refused entry into, and/or removed from, the event, unless his or her costume can be modified to meet the above standards. All costume guidelines apply throughout the duration of any and all costumed events. We do not allow real pumpkins on board. All rules, regulations and guidelines are subject to change without notice.

from Carnival’s website

We had a blast! We went as pirates, I even wore a red and black wig! We wore our costumes to Patch’s Spook-tacular Bingo, dinner, and all of the other events leading up to Patch’s Pumpin’ Deck Party, Costume Crawl, and Costume Contest. It was all so much fun, we are booked on the Carnival Elation October 19th so we can do it again!

One thing I noticed on this cruise, and I will do it next time we go on a Halloween cruise, was giving candy to the crew. Many guests brought little gift bags of Halloween candy for the Fun Squad, wait staff, stateroom stewards and others. It was nice seeing these hardworking individuals, who make your cruise so fun, be blessed in this way.

Those who would like to stay in one destination and explore that place, a Caribbean vacation would be a great idea. You may visit sites like https://www.visitcaymanislands.com/en-us/experiences/tours-adventures to book a travel package for Cayman Islands.

• This year also marks the 25th anniversary of Walt Disney Pictures’ “Hocus Pocus.” What better way to celebrate the film than with the spellbinding Hocus Pocus Villain Spectacular on the Cinderella Castle Forecourt stage, where the Sanderson Sisters and Disney villains will “put a spell on you.”

As always, guests should keep their eyes open for dancing ghosts, the Headless Horseman, plus Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan and many more beloved Disney characters in the Mickey’s “Boo-To-You” Halloween Parade.
