I am doubting that the organizers would do this. I just don't see this being a popular option because I don't believe that attendees will have that much free time at Infinitus. There is all the programming during the day and all the activities and events in the evening. It is also very likely that most attendees with be visiting the theme park in their spare time. I have never visited Orlando before but I have heard that it does not have much public transportation so it would be difficult for attendees to travel around Orlando (especially so considering most attendee won't have a car either). Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but I don't remember HPEF having a ghost tour at any of their recent cons or at least not one that they put together.

I remember that there was a ghost tour at Prophecy 2007 (that I did not go on because I was busy), but Toronto has pretty good public transportion. I also think that the Prophecy hotel was in a much better location (downtown) for outside of con activities like ghost tours than the Infinitus hotels are. However, they did not have ghost tours or any other outside of con activities at Portus 2008 or Azkatraz 2009 (unless you consider the Wrock Around the Rock as one). I just don't think these types of outside of con activities have enough interest for the organizers to do because most people would rather go sightseeing and do other similar activities, if they want to do any at all to begin with, on their own time. For Infinitus, I personally believe that most attendees will be spending all their free time in the theme park and won't want to explore Orlando. If this was a different con in a different city, I would say maybe, but I just don't see one happening for Infinitus.

If you really want to go on a ghost tour with other attendees, you should post about it on the forums and see if there is any interest. If there is, you guys could just organize a tour for your group.
