The hard ticket event (requiring special admission fees) showcases nighttime Halloween fun and entertainment for families, specifically to show the fun of Halloween without being scared, and was created to counter scarier events at other local theme parks, including Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Orlando Resort, and Howl-O-Scream at Tampa Bay's Busch Gardens. Here, guests are allowed to dress as their favorite characters from all Disney films; during most of the year, however, they are not due to safety precautions (kidnapping of children, for example).
