There is usually some group of characters scattered around Town Square during most of the day (they don't seem to be out after dark). You could just try your luck and see who you run into, or you could check at City Hall if you're looking for specific characters. It seems like there are a couple places where the characters tend to hang out. The main ones are in front of the Mad Hatter, in front of Tour Guide Gardens, in front of the Firehouse, in the open area between the Disney Showcase and the parade gates, and in the street just on either side of the big pumpkin. Occasionally I've seen characters around the other side of the train station (by the turnstyles), but those are usually princesses, who don't have Halloween outfits.
