One thing to know before you trick-or-treat
Although Spooktacular itself is included with admission, a SeaWorld reusable trick-or-treat bag is required to collect candy. Usually, the bags are priced at $3.99 plus tax.
Parents can participate in the trick-or-treat trail, too, although the experience definitely feels designed with children in mind. That is part of its charm. Spooktacular is bright, colorful and intentionally kid-friendly. SeaWorld describes it as a daytime event created specifically for families.

SeaWorld Orlando offers a Teal Pumpkin Program for guests with food allergies. Instead of candy, guests can collect teal tokens at the trick-or-treat stations and exchange them for allergy-friendly items, usually trinkets, at Coconut Bay Traders.
Two ways to experience “Hotel Transylvania”
“Hotel Transylvania” joins Spooktacular for the first time in 2026, and there are two main ways to spend time with Drac and his monster crew. During the regular daytime event, guests can meet Drac, Mavis and friends and catch the Monster Movez Dance Party in Journey to Atlantis Plaza, all included with park admission.
For a bigger experience, the separately priced Hotel Transylvania Monster Breakfast takes over SeaFire Inn on Spooktacular mornings. The character meal includes an all-you-care-to-enjoy breakfast buffet, meet-and-greets with Drac, Mavis and other characters, dancing and interactive entertainment. Prices currently start at $35.99 for adults and $20.99 for children ages 3-9, with park admission also required.
We attended the breakfast on opening morning, and you can read our full review of the new experience here.
