Old Town Entertainment District Attraction Tickets and Meal

Scares and dinner in the same evening plan. This is Old Town Entertainment District, the place for car shows, live bands, and karaoke plus rides like the Ferris wheel. I also love how your meal comes with almost two dozen food outlets to choose from, so you’re not stuck with one sad menu item. One drawback to keep in mind: part of the package value can feel tied to shopping discounts, so if you don’t plan to buy anything, you may not feel it was worth the extra cost.

You can build this as a 1 to 2 day visit depending on what you want to do, with your ticket redeemed at the Old Town General Store. The good news is it’s flexible: you can start with Old Town’s atmosphere and events, then line up Mortem Manor when the night hits.

For the haunted stop, Mortem Manor is a year-round house running Wednesday to Sunday, with live actors, animatronics, special effects, and even a burial simulator. Just plan around the operating days—if you’re going on a Monday or Tuesday, you won’t be able to do that attraction.

Key things I’d circle before you go

  • Old Town has weekly entertainment like car shows, live bands, and karaoke, so your visit has built-in energy.
  • Mortem Manor runs year-round Wed–Sun, making it easier to fit into a typical Orlando trip.
  • You get a meal as part of the package, with almost two dozen food outlets to pick from.
  • The haunted house is about 30 minutes, so it’s scary but not an all-night commitment.
  • You choose 1 or 2 attraction tickets during booking, which changes what you’ll actually use.
  • Old Town itself is free to enter (per the operator), so focus on what you’re paying for inside.

Old Town Entertainment District: more than a ticket stop

Old Town is the kind of place you can treat as a relaxed hangout or a planned evening. You’re not just walking past buildings and leaving. The point is the atmosphere: you’ll find things happening on site, including weekly events like car shows, live music, and karaoke. If you like watching people get into the vibe—without needing to commit to a full theme park day—this fits.

Here’s the practical angle: the package includes meals, but the rest of your experience depends on what you activate with your attraction tickets. That’s important because Old Town itself is described by the operator as a free property to come to. So your money is really about the add-ons you select (attractions, and whatever shopping savings elements come with the package), plus the meal.

Another thing I like is how easy it is to pace the day. Old Town supports a simple flow: arrive, enjoy the shows or car-themed events if they’re running, then pick your food, and finish with whatever attraction you booked. If you’ve got a car and you’re staying nearby, you’ll probably find you can do this without stressing about tight park-to-park timing.

The one thing to watch: value depends on your intent

If you’re the type who doesn’t shop, you might feel a disconnect between what you pay and what you use. There’s feedback that the shopping discounts side of the package can be the main driver of value. On the flip side, if you’re planning to buy some souvenirs or indulge in snacks and browsing, the savings booklet piece may pay off faster than you’d expect. Bottom line: before you book, check your own habits—are you here for rides and food, or for shopping deals too?

Old Town’s “big day” plan: rides, events, and your meal window

Old Town Entertainment District Attraction Tickets and Meal - Old Town’s “big day” plan: rides, events, and your meal window
Old Town works best when you treat it like an afternoon that turns into night. Your ticket experience gives you structure, but you still get the fun of timing your own moments.

Events: car shows, live bands, and karaoke

The schedule emphasis here is on weekly happenings. That means your exact day might feel different depending on what’s on. Expect car shows, live bands, and karaoke during your visit window, since those are the recurring highlights described. Even if you don’t care about every event type, there’s usually enough going on to make the area feel alive.

If you’re traveling with a mixed group—say, one person who wants food and wandering, and another who wants entertainment—this is one of those places where both people can win. The events give you something to watch; the rest of the district gives you room to wander.

The Ferris wheel: views without committing to a full ride list

Old Town includes the Ferris wheel experience, with views as you soar high over the Kissimmee area. You’re not buying a full menu of rides here—you’re choosing a single iconic viewpoint. If you want photos and a change of perspective without making the day about thrill rides, this is a neat add-on.

Your meal: almost two dozen food outlets

The meal portion is where the package becomes forgiving. Instead of locking you into one restaurant, you can choose from almost two dozen food outlets. That matters when you’re traveling with different appetites, dietary needs (within reason), or just different moods.

Practical tip: plan your dinner based on the food outlet lineups you see when you arrive. If events are drawing crowds, popular counters can get busy. You’ll enjoy the night more if you eat before you’re starving and rushing.

Mortem Manor Haunted Attraction: how the scares are staged

Old Town Entertainment District Attraction Tickets and Meal - Mortem Manor Haunted Attraction: how the scares are staged
Mortem Manor is the second anchor stop, and it’s the one most people will remember afterward. This is a year-round haunted house operating Wednesday through Sunday. It’s described as having a Victorian-themed setting with two floors of scares, plus live actors, animatronics, and special effects.

What you’ll actually do there (and why it matters)

The attraction experience is timed at about 30 minutes, which is a sweet spot. You get a real haunted-house experience without losing your whole evening. If your trip is packed with other Orlando plans, that timing helps you avoid the classic problem: you plan to do one thing, then it eats half your day.

The house also includes a burial simulator. That’s a specific detail, and it suggests the scares aren’t just jump-scare darkness. There’s at least one element that tries to add a themed scenario to the experience.

Live actors + tech effects

Mortem Manor includes both live actors and animatronics, plus state-of-the-art special effects. That combination is usually what separates a plain haunted walkthrough from something that feels like a production. You’ll be getting interaction from people and scenes driven by mechanisms—so it’s not just a static set.

One drawback: it’s not open every day

The only major “watch this” item for Mortem Manor is simple: it’s Wednesday–Sunday. If your schedule lands you on Monday or Tuesday, you can still enjoy Old Town (since it’s free to come to), but you’ll want to swap the haunted-house piece for something else during your visit.

Tickets and value: $15 makes sense only with the right plan

Old Town Entertainment District Attraction Tickets and Meal - Tickets and value: $15 makes sense only with the right plan
Price is listed as $15 per person, and the package includes 1 or 2 attraction tickets depending on what you selected at booking, plus meals.

This is where I’d be a grown-up about expectations. If you only want one simple thing—like a single attraction plus food—you might feel good about the cost. But if you were expecting the price to function like full admissions to a big theme park attraction lineup, you could feel shorted. That’s partly because Old Town itself can be visited without paying for entry, and the paid portion tends to focus on specific attractions and the package benefits.

How to think about value (without guessing)

Ask yourself two questions before you buy:

  • Will I use the attraction ticket(s) I selected? If you chose 2 tickets and then only activate one, you lose value.
  • Will I benefit from the shopping discounts piece? One negative review called out discounts-only value, and the operator’s response emphasized that the savings booklet can exceed $300 if fully used. You don’t need to chase the math—but you do need to know whether you’ll actually redeem those kinds of deals.

Duration: 1 day usually works

The experience says 1 to 2 days (approx.). For most people, 1 day will cover Old Town events, your meal, and Mortem Manor if you’re visiting Wed–Sun. A second day makes sense only if you want to linger, re-check events, or take your time wandering without feeling rushed.

Also, note that the average booking happens about 19 days in advance. That doesn’t mean you must book far out, but it’s a clue that people plan this into an itinerary rather than treating it like an ultra-last-minute decision.

Where you go and how you start: the redemption point

Your ticket redemption point is the Old Town General Store at 5770 W Irlo Bronson Memorial Hwy #421, Kissimmee, FL 34746.

If you’re the type who likes clean starts, do this: arrive, redeem, then walk the district for a bit before committing to dinner or a haunted-house time. You’ll get a feel for what’s on (car show, live band, karaoke) and you’ll spot food lines and ride areas so your choices feel less rushed.

Since it’s near public transportation, you can also plan to arrive without a private car if that fits your trip style. Hotel pickup and drop-off are not included, so factor in your own ride or transit plan.

Who this experience fits best

This works best for people who want:

  • An evening with built-in entertainment (car shows, live music, karaoke) rather than a schedule packed with attractions
  • A haunted house that’s real but not a half-night commitment (about 30 minutes)
  • A meal with lots of choice from almost two dozen food outlets
  • A flexible plan that can stretch over 1–2 days without needing park-hopping logistics

It’s less ideal if:

  • You only care about one very specific item and you won’t use the rest of the package benefits
  • You’re visiting on a day when Mortem Manor isn’t running (Monday or Tuesday), since the haunted-house option won’t be available

So, should you book Old Town Entertainment District + Mortem Manor?

If your goal is a fun Orlando night with live entertainment, a lot of dinner options, and a haunted-house experience you can fit in at a reasonable time, I think this is a solid buy. The combination is the point: Old Town sets the stage, and Mortem Manor gives you a clear, ticketed finale.

But book with eyes open. If you’re allergic to shopping discounts or you won’t use any of the savings benefits tied to the package, your value may feel thin. If you’re likely to browse, snack, and pick one or two attractions, you’ll probably get more satisfaction from the price.
