Guests Report Emergency Exit Used to Enter Disneyland’s $79 Halloween Dinner Without Tickets

Overview

• Attendees say a parent opened an emergency exit at Storytellers Cafe, allowing children to slip into Clarabelle’s Enchanted Halloween Dinner without tickets.
• The children reportedly hugged Goofy and returned to take photos before leaving once staff noticed, according to the guest account.
• Cast members then positioned themselves at the door to stop further unauthorized entries, the reports state.
• The ticketed character buffet runs nightly at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and is priced at $79 per adult and $42 per child, plus tax and gratuity.
• Coverage stems from a single Reddit post amplified by Disney-focused sites, with no official Disney statement or arrests reported, and one outlet framing price hikes as a possible factor without independent verification.
