Ready to enjoy all of the Orlando Halloween events this year?

Pumpkin spice, horrors at Universal, wild nights at Busch Gardens, and trick-or-treating with Mickey are some things we love about fall in central Florida.

This change inspired me to create this guide and answer all of your questions about the Orlando Halloween events.

One of the first questions you may have is, Where can I go for Halloween in Orlando and what is there to do in Orlando for October?
