Orlando theme parks are in full Halloween mode this time of the month. We have got Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Orlando Resort and Howl-O-Scream at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. For the kiddies there are two great events in the Orlando area. We have Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party over at the Walt Disney World Resort’s Magic Kingdom and SeaWorld’s Halloween Spooktacular over at the SeaWorld park. No matter what style of Halloween fun you prefer, there’s something for you to check out. OrlandoFunTickets.com has been giving you all of the inside scoop on what’s going on in the parks, but we’re here to tell you about all of the great special appearances that have been going on throughout the month of October.

It seems no matter which Halloween event you go to you’re bound to run into someone famous checking out the parks for themselves! Over at Halloween Horror Nights, some real ghostbusters showed up for a meet and greet with paranormal fans. Steve Gonsalves and Dave Tango of Syfy’s Ghost Hunters showed up to check out the award-winning event earlier this month. They weren’t the first celebrities to stop by however! John C. Reilly (Stepbrothers, Talladega Nights) stopped in at Universal Orlando with the cast of Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assisant to promote the movie, which has its own Scare Zone at the Halloween Horror Nights event. Just last weekend, horror icon Hitchcock muse Tippi Hedren (The Birds) was photographed with a few of Dracula’s brides in the Dracula house at HHN, still looking classic years after the popular Hitchcock film.

Over at Busch Gardens, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ cheerleaders decided to stop by the Halloween event and go through the haunted houses, getting their own fair share of thrills and scares at the popular adult-focused event. Howl-O-Scream is one of the few theme parks that feature 21 and older events to let adults have fun as well. October still has a couple of weeks left to go and Halloween isn’t even here yet. We’re sure there will be more celebrities and special appearances happening and OrlandoFunTickets.com will bring you the scoop.

September and October mean one thing at Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom: Mickeys Not-So-Scary Halloween Party! You have got your hotel booked, your discount Disney Halloween party tickets purchased and you’re all ready to go, right? Don’t forget one very important fact! At Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween party, you’re allowed to dress up!

There are tons of great ideas for families, kids and even teens or young adults when it comes to dressing up. We’re sure to see plenty of girls dressed up as the new princess on the block: Princess Tiana! Disney’s first African-American princess is sure to be a hit with little girls of all backgrounds. If your little girl is into fairies, Disney has expanded way past Tinkerbell. Why not dress up as one of her friends from Pixie Hollow? Along with Tinkerbell, you can be Rosetta, Silvermist, Fawn or Iridessa.

Pirates are always popular with both girls and boys. Parents, why not be Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swan while your children dress up as your little swashbucklers? Or if you don’t mind being a bit goofy, dress up the whole troupe Dalmatian style. Your tween kids might not want to do a family dress-up gig, but there are plenty of ideas for them as well.

High School Musical is still going strong. Be an East High School cheerleader or couple up as Troy Bolton (played by Zac Efron) and Gabriella Montez (played by Vanessa Hudgens). If you’re a loyal Hannah Montana fan, dressing up like the starlet just requires a blonde wig and a cute rocker outfit. Couples have plenty of options; just pick your favorite prince and princess from Disney history and you’re sure to find a great costume online.

If you would rather make your own costume or keep the price low, you can still keep it Disney related. Why not be a super Disney fan? Get the Mickey ears you’ve kept in your closet and all of your pins and put everything on at once. Or, if you want to be more traditional with your Halloween attire, use black eyeliner to paint on a cat nose and whiskers and keep your clothes dark. Cat ears and tails are usually one of the cheaper items at the Halloween shops. There are a variety of great Disney costumes on sale if you have some extra cash. But making your own costume or putting a unique spin on traditional Halloween items is easy if you’ve got a little bit of imagination and a bit pixie dust! Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party runs until November 1st.
