So if you are looking to go, be sure to look into tickets in advance. They tend to start selling the tickets around July. If your kids have allergies, Disney World offers a special bag for trick or treating that involves tokens that can be redeemed at specific location for candy and crafts. If you do not plan on going to the Halloween party at the parks you should still be aware of the dates that this is going on in the fall season. The Magic Kingdom park will close at 7pm for regular guests. You don’t need a park ticket to go to the party, so this will be a great opportunity to spend your day outside of the park. With the party ticket you can get into the park three hours early for the event and enjoy some park time. If you are planning to eat at a restaurant before going to the Halloween Party, be sure to make your reservation early so that you are done eating in time to enjoy all of the Halloween fun there is to offer. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Patty loves to wear her Sanuk or Oofos sandals for comfortable walking and her Headsweats visor for sun protection. TIP OF THE WEEK When you are dressing your kids in costumes, keep in mind that they will be getting in and out of rides and walking around alot! Things like long capes and bulky costumes can make that tough. MENTIONED ON THE PODCAST Allergy friendly Disney trick or treating FOLLOW US AND SPREAD THE WORD!
