Allergy-Safe Options

Allergy-Friendly treats can be collected by picking up a teal treat bag (you’ll find them at Liberty Square Ticket Office), collecting teal tokens at Treat Stops, and returning those tokens to the Liberty Square Ticket Office near Hall of Presidents.

Once there, you’ll turn in your tokens to collect allergy-safe treats from free2b, Enjoy Life, and more! Cast Members are on hand to help you select treats that are safe for you. Click the image below to enlarge it and see what other options are available.

Complimentary Snacks

A limited selection of snacks are complimentary during After Hours parties. For the Boo Bash, we spotted bottled water, bottled soft drinks, boxes of popcorn, and frozen novelties.

Other Snacks

There are a couple of party-specific treats that you’ll pay a little extra for. These include the Foolish Mortal Funnel Cake at Sleepy Hollow…

…and the Apple Ginger Dale frozen drink at Golden Oak Outpost.

You may see other treats available just at the Boo Bash. On night one, we tried a Maleficent Churro from a Main Street churro cart…

…and the Five Dozen Eggs Slushy at Gaston’s Tavern!

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for special event treats advertised on placards.
