Getting there

The show is in the Hyatt Regency Orlando's convention area on International Drive.
Parking: the Hyatt garage is $45 a day (spaces are limited), the lot behind the Hyatt Convention Center is $20 a day, Pointe Orlando is $10 for 3 hours or more (about a 10-minute walk), and ICON Park has free parking on floors 4 to 7 (about a 20-minute walk).
Hotel guests booked in the Spooky Empire block self-park for $10 a day, with in and out.
The I-RIDE Trolley stops in front of the Hyatt on its Red and Green Lines, $2 a ride, 8am to 10:30pm daily.
Will Call (advance tickets) and Registration are inside the convention area. Bring your ticket or ID to pick up passes. Thursday evening pickup (6 to 8pm) is for VIPs only.

If you use a wheelchair or have a physical disability, staff will take you into Q&As and panels before the general public (after VIPs). Arrive 20 to 30 minutes early.
Need a sign language interpreter? Ask Spooky Empire ahead of the show.

It's an all-ages show, and children 10 and under get in free with an adult. Some late-night events aren't for children, and the VIP party is 21 and over.
You need your admission wristband everywhere at the show, the hotel lobby and pool parties included.
Photos are fine, but if a guest says no to a picture, please respect that.
Staying at the Hyatt? You pay for any room damage from makeup, fake blood, prosthetic glue or glitter.

Autographs aren't included in admission. Each guest sets their own price, usually $30 to $100 or more; some charge for a table photo and some include one with an autograph.
Ticket prices have 6.5% Florida sales tax added.

Costumes are welcome. Every prop weapon must be peace-bonded at Weapons Check before you go in; you can pose with it, but don't swing or jab it.
No real firearms or ammunition, no swords, knives or other blades, and no metal-tipped arrows. Bows must be decorative, with no string tension.
Toy guns (airsoft, BB, Nerf) need an orange tip, no ammo, a tag and a zip-tied trigger. Firing anything, water pistols included, gets you removed.
No spray cans inside. Light, flexible props of cardboard, papier-mâché, resin or plastic are best.
Anything you buy in the vendor room that breaks these rules stays boxed and taped, or goes to your room or car.

We couldn't find gender-neutral toilets listed by Spooky Empire or the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
