Yes, both events are popular and often sell out quickly. Advance reservations are highly recommended.
Certainly, many travelers combine their Halloween experience with a tour of Florida or a cruise from Port Canaveral.
Disney mainly caters to families through a cheerful atmosphere, trick-or-treat and parades. Universal offers more intense experiences with haunted houses and scare zones.
