Hi! I'm Chelsea, heart of Don't Be That Tourist. Pharmacist by day, travel storyteller by passion. I've stood in Salem's ticket lines and Anoka's parade crowd — so I wrote down the booking order that actually works.
Everything you need to book Halloween before it books you.
• The booking order for all 13 towns — what to grab first, and what can wait
• The two dawn moves nobody tells you: 8 AM Witch House tickets and Anoka's 4 AM parade-spot rule
• The 13-town cheat sheet: each town's anchor event, what to book first, and the insider move
• The costume check: where a costume is expected, where it's encouraged, and where it's not a costume holiday
• The haunted rooms worth requesting by number
