What is Lurking at Walt Disney World After Dark?

We’re headed out to Disney Parks after dark, where adventure lurks in magical shadows. It’s a fun place to be any night of the year, but as Halloween approaches, happy haunts and ghastly ghouls seem all the spookier.As if The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror isn’t creepy enough in the daylight, dare to enter these not-so-hallowed halls when the sun goes down, and you’ll find out just why so many ear-bursting shrieks echo down Sunset Boulevard. On Halloween night, 1939, a violent storm struck the once glamorous Hollywood Hotel, whisking 5 unfortunate souls “beyond the fifth dimension.” Guests who brave this ride board the Fright Elevator, which goes up, then down, then maybe up again…or down. Random drops depart the 13^th floor and are determined by the Tower itself.

Ah, but of course, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is not the only Park to host such spirited thrills. If ye be seekin’ adventure where undead pirates pillage and plunder, head over to Magic Kingdom’s Pirates of the Caribbean. It’s a treacherous sail through burning villages and fiery battles. Arr, matey, better dodge Barbossa’s Wicked Wench cannon blasts, because, “Dead men tell no tales.”

Speaking of the dead…999 of the dearly departed call the Haunted Mansion home, perhaps including the evening doorman who welcomes Guests to this ominous residence. A Doom Buggy carries visitors through dusty rooms of ethereal mischief and merriment. Hitchhiking ghosts are deadly serious about making your stay permanent. After all, “There’s always room for one more. Mwahahahaha!”

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party highlights Disney nights this time of year. Themed lighting and musical effects transform the Park into eerie hollows from which the Headless Horseman rides to lead Mickey’s Boo-to-You Halloween Parade. Haunted Mansion characters venture forth from their resting places to appear on the floats. Here, Disney Characters and Villains are not the only ones in costume. Guests are too! Kids can trick-or-treat, then enjoy Happy HalloWishes, a fireworks spectacular where the Disney Villains trick-or-treat in the sky. (Additional admission is required for this special event, occurring specific nights from September 13th to November 1st. Check Park times and guides for additional information.)
