Hotel Transylvania Checks Into SeaWorld Orlando’s Halloween Spooktacular

Hotel Transylvania is coming to SeaWorld Orlando’s Halloween Spooktacular this Halloween season. Fresh off bringing two unique intellectual properties to its Howl-O-Scream events, SeaWorld Orlando announced yesterday that Sony Pictures Animation’s Hotel Transylvania will take a vacation at the park for the annual daytime Halloween celebration.

This year’s Halloween Spooktacular runs on select dates from August 29 through November 1, 2026, and is included with regular park admission. The family-friendly daytime event invites guests of all ages to dress up, explore an immersive trick-or-treat trail, and enjoy safe, spooky fun designed for everyone.

Trick-or-Treating

The park continues its popular trick-or-treat trails throughout the back of the park, featuring 12 candy stations. Guests will need a reusable Spooktacular Trick-or-Treat bag to collect goodies along the trail but pass-holder discounts do apply.

Hotel Transylvania Dance Party

Join Mavis and Johnny for a high-energy dance party where park guests can let loose and celebrate between candy stops and other fall festivities.

Hotel Transylvania Breakfast: Monster Dread & Breakfast

The monsters have taken over the SeaFire Inn and transformed it into their own Monster Dread & Breakfast. This separately ticketed experience features humorous “house rules,” vacation-inspired touches, and immersive theming that brings the world of Hotel Transylvania to life.

Guests can enjoy monstrous breakfast items, meet Drac, Mavis, and the rest of the monster family, capture photos inside Drac’s vacation home, and join in lively interactive musical moments. More than a standard character breakfast, Drac and Mavis’ Monster Dread & Breakfast invites families to step into the movie and create lasting Halloween memories.

Your stay includes:

• A themed all-you-care-to-enjoy Monster Breakfast Buffet featuring Drac’s Brown Sugar Glazed Ham carving station, Wayne’s “Howling Breakfast Favorites,” Mavis’ Morning Magic French toast sticks, Dennis’ Little Monster Corner with kid-friendly treats, fresh fruit, pastries, and more—all served with playful Hotel Transylvania-inspired touches.
• Meet-and-greet opportunities with Drac and your favorite Hotel Transylvania friends.
• Dancing, laughs, and family-friendly Halloween fun.

Come as a human… leave feeling like part of the monster family.

Returning Favorites at Halloween Spooktacular

No Halloween celebration is complete without festive seasonal flavors. This year’s lineup features two brand-new treats: the Mummy Dog, an all-beef hot dog wrapped in pretzel dough and dressed like a mummy, and the Trick-or-Treat Crunch Popcorn, featuring caramel popcorn topped with M&M’s, gummy candies, and a chocolate drizzle.

Guests can also enjoy freshly squeezed lemonades in colorful flavors including Cotton Candy, Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, Watermelon, and Cherry, plus warm, soft butter pretzels topped with coarse salt, classic buttery popcorn, and more.
