What exactly is included?
The Halloween guide lists 25% off friends-and-family tickets and 15% off short breaks for Gold and Platinum, plus 10% off Fastrack for passholders. These are discounts on additional products, not necessarily included experiences.
What this means for your plans
Check admission eligibility before reserving a Halloween itinerary. Essential restriction dates listed for 2026 include 17, 24, 25 and 31 October; a restriction upgrade may be required.
Conditions and current status
Mazes, VIP experiences and evening events can require separate tickets. The blog limits several event-related discounts to Gold and Platinum. Budget for the specific experiences you want rather than treating every Halloween activity as free. Original publication: 17 September 2026.
