Hey just wondering if anyone has any info or ideas on what we could do over halloween. Never been this time of year. We are not doing the disney parks or universal. Thanks in advance.

Celebration town is very nice on Halloween night. We did it a few years ago and recommended it to SIL and her family and they really enjoyed it too

Second Celebration, it's great at both Halloween and Christmas.

Give yourself time to either walk or drive around the houses, they are amazing with all the decorations.

Ah thanks both of you i fell in love with celebration last year so we planned to trick or treat this year there. So exciting.

we found the locals so friendly - we're 2 adults and would have been in our 40's and one lady was dressed as a witch and sat on her porch steps and beckoned us to go sit with her for a photo and then one upper floor flat with a balcony had a cool bucket on a string system for Trick or Treating - they kept lowering it down with candy in it, amused us anyway lol!

oh, and they had a Pumpkin Patch which was just so 'typical' American Fall - seem to remember it was run by a local charity and entrance was for a donation - great photo ops!

You might want to get there a bit earlier for a meal perhaps as it did get busy for parking etc

you are so welcome - we just found it less commercialised, more relaxed and cheap!
SIL said her kids loved Trick or Treating in America lol!

I'll Third it. We went last year on Halloween and I have to say it was my favourite time of the entire holiday. My daughter loved it, and the locals were so friendly
