Peppa's Halloween Party Runs 11 Days, Not the 9 the Park Announced, and It Skips Two Fridays When Brick or Treat Is Running Next Door

PEPPA PIG Theme Park Florida has a Halloween event this year, and if you read about it anywhere other than the event page itself, you probably have the wrong dates.

Peppa's Halloween Party runs 11 days, not the nine weekend days that got reported. The official event page lists them plainly: "October - 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, 31." Two of those, October 9 and October 16, are Fridays.

Two walkaround Peppa Pig characters hold hands on a paved path in bright daylight. The one on the left wears a large orange fabric pumpkin body with vertical ribbing and a small orange pumpkin cap with a green stem. The one on the right wears a black sleeveless dress with a large black bow and a black pointed witch hat decorated with magenta crescent moons and stars, and has one leg kicked up. Behind them are Peppa's yellow house with a red tiled roof and blue windows, the blue and green track of a family roller coaster, a white picket fence and flower shaped pavers.

Two date lists, one website

The confusion starts on the park's own website, because it published both versions.

The park's blog post about the event contains a table laying the dates out as "October 3 to 4," "October 10 to 11," "October 17 to 18" and "October 24 to 25," weekend pairs only, then "October 31" on its own. That is nine days. Further down the very same blog post, under the heading asking when the party is, the text reads: "The 2026 dates are: October 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 24, 25 and 31." That is 11 days, and it matches the event page exactly.

So one page disagrees with itself, and the table is the part that is wrong.

The weekends only version came from the park itself. Its September 8 announcement said the party "will take place on weekends throughout October, including October 3-4, 10-11, 17-18, 24-25 and Halloween weekend, October 31, 2026," and the outlets printed that. Laughing Place ran it the same day with the same nine days, describing the event as running "every weekend throughout October." Read closely, the announcement is not exactly wrong. It is a statement about weekends, and the two extra dates are Fridays. But nothing in it tells a reader those Fridays exist, and the blog's table then hardened the nine days into a list. Only the park's own event page carries the fuller version. Anyone planning around the weekends only version loses two perfectly good Fridays.

A walkaround Peppa character in a black cape and a black pointed hat with a green star and crescent moon stands between two children, a girl in a black and purple witch dress and matching hat and a smaller child in a black skeleton onesie with a hood. Peppa's yellow house and a blue and green coaster with a red train are behind them under a yellow crescent moon.

The two Fridays it does not run are the stranger detail

Here is the part that is genuinely odd. If the event runs on Fridays October 9 and 16, why not October 23 and October 30?

It is not because the park is shut. We pulled the park's own operating calendar, and PEPPA PIG Theme Park Florida is open 10am to 4pm on both of those Fridays. The only two October days the park closes at all are Tuesday October 20 and Tuesday October 27, and neither Friday is one of them. It is not because Halloween programming stops at the resort either, because Brick or Treat at Legoland Florida, on the same property, runs on both nights.

Brick or Treat's October list is "October - 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 23, 24, 25, 30, 31," which is 13 dates. Peppa's 11 dates are that exact list minus October 23 and October 30. The two events line up perfectly for three weeks, and then the Peppa side stops taking Fridays while the Legoland side keeps going.

The park has not explained the gap, and there is nothing on the event page marking those two Fridays as different.

Different park, different candy hours

Worth knowing if you are doing both in one day: the candy windows do not match. Peppa's event page says "Candy stations will be open around the park from 11am - 4pm." Brick or Treat's page says its candy stations "are open throughout the Park from 2pm - 7pm."

That is a three hour offset with only a two hour overlap, so a family trying to collect candy at both parks on one ticket has a narrow window in the early afternoon.

There is a second timing quirk. On the two Fridays the Peppa event does run, the park closes at 4pm, which is exactly when the candy stations close. On event Saturdays and Sundays the park is open until 5pm, so candy ends an hour before the gates do. Same event, two different shapes of day.

What you get, and what it costs

Peppa's Halloween Party is "Included in General Admission to PEPPA PIG Theme Park Florida," so there is no separate event ticket. The event page lists candy and treat stations around the park, Halloween meet and greets, Halloween episodes in the Cinema, themed food and drink items, and an exclusive Peppa's Halloween Party pop badge. The FAQ adds that "Everyone is welcome to join Peppa's Halloween Party."

On the day we checked, the page was selling Peppa only admission from $32 per person against a $69 front gate price, and a combined ticket covering PEPPA PIG Theme Park, Legoland Theme Park and SEA LIFE from $94 against a $154 gate price.

A few things we could not stand up

You may see this called a first ever Halloween celebration. That phrase is real, but it belongs to a different park. Blooloop reported on September 11 that Peppa Pig Theme Park Dallas-Fort Worth is launching its first ever Halloween experience, running October 1 through November 1 and closed on Wednesdays, a far longer run than Florida's 11 dates. Texas is not a precedent for Florida, then, because Texas is the park doing it for the first time.

What we can say about the Florida park is narrower, and we checked it in the Internet Archive ourselves rather than taking anyone's word for it. The capture of the park's homepage from October 7, 2025 does not mention Halloween at all. The capture from October 3, 2024 mentions it 20 times, and 17 of those are image plumbing: one photo filename, peppa-halloween-costume.jpg, repeated across a responsive image set, plus that photo's alt text and its structured data. The other three sit in copy a visitor would actually have seen. A panel headed "Halloween is Here!" invited guests to "Explore limited-time meet & greets with Peppa & George in their Halloween costumes throughout the fall season," and carried its own date list running from September 13 to October 27. So the Florida park marked Halloween in 2024. What it advertised was costumed meet and greets on select dates, not a named party and not a ticketed event, and by October 2025 the homepage carried nothing at all. The park has not called this year's event a first, and on that evidence neither will we. Worth noting too that Laughing Place's page title calls the party a return, while its own headline and body do not.

One detail the writeups carry that the park's own pages do not: a candy bag included with admission. That came from the September 8 announcement too, which says "A candy bag will be included with admission." Neither the event page nor the blog post mentions a candy bag anywhere, so the park is promising it in one place and silent about it in the other.

One last oddity. Legoland Florida Resort's own seasonal events calendar lists Brick or Treat, Christmas Bricktacular, Kids' New Year's Eve, LEGO NINJAGO Weekends, Red, White & BOOM and LEGO Festival. Peppa's Halloween Party is not on it, even though the park sits, in its own words, "right next door on the same resort grounds" and shares a primary parking lot with Legoland. It is also a standalone park that needs its own admission ticket, which may be the whole explanation.
