\"Disneyhalloween\"<\/a><\/em>Whether you’re on a Disney World vacation<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/strong> or staying at other Orlando hotels<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>, there’s no shortage of Halloween<\/strong> fun for all ages in the Orlando area.<\/p>\n

Nick Hotel<\/strong>: Every Friday until Halloween, the Nickelodeon Family Suites<\/a><\/strong> does a party<\/a><\/strong> with a DJ at its outdoor waterpark. We went and were less impressed with the treats than the music and games — which were good. Expect slime and lots of it.<\/p>\n

Halloween Horror Nights<\/strong><\/a>: Just seeing the billboard “photos” of Bloody Mary<\/strong>, the star of this annual Saw<\/em>-like terror-fest, is enough to make a queasy person swoon. Would you expect anything less from Universal Orlando<\/a><\/strong>, with a full cast of scenic designers, make-up artists, scriptwriters and horror films at its disposal? This is a must-do for teens or anyone else with a strong stomach.<\/p>\n

Mount Dora Craft Fair<\/a><\/strong>: This nationally ranked, juried event (Oct. 25-26) continues to attract more than 250,000 visitors and more than 350 of the best crafters in the country. Best of all in today’s economy: it’s FREE!<\/p>\n

Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party<\/strong>: Walt Disney World<\/strong><\/a>‘s<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> Magic Kingdom<\/strong>, through Oct. 31. The flip side of Universal’s Horror NIghts, this is about fun not fear. It’s “boo-free” as they like to say. Guests come in costume and trick-or-treat through the Magic Kingdom after regular park closing. Stay for the parade and fireworks.<\/p>\n

Central Florida Zoo Boo Bash<\/strong>: Trick-or-treat in the wildest neighborhood in town at the Central Florida Zoo<\/strong><\/a> (Oct. 25-26). Another not-too-scary event for the whole family. Wear costumes and stop at trick-or-treat stations. Get your face painted, take a hayride, visit the pumpkin patch and learn about the myths and realities of some misunderstood animals. The price is Included in regular park admission.<\/p>\n

Orlando Ghost Tours<\/a><\/strong>: Investigate the Greenwood Cemetery at night to see some real paranormal activity. And we’re not talking about your fellow tourists.<\/p>\n
