Gawrsh, Mickey's Scares Start at 6 — Plan B Is EPCOT

Advice for 2026-10-13 · Published Oct 13, 2026, 6:59 AM ET

Archived briefing. Hours, prices, availability, and recommendations may have changed. Check today’s dashboard.

Well, howdy, folks — Tuesday, October 13, 2026, and ol' Goofy's got the lay of the land. Magic Kingdom closes at 6 PM sharp tonight for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so day guests get an 8 AM to 6 PM window and nobody sticks around past the sweep. EPCOT stays open till 9, and the Food & Wine Festival booths are rollin' right through November 21. Typhoon Lagoon's closed for refurb — surf pool's drained — so Blizzard Beach is your splash if that was the plan. Rope drop TRON at Magic Kingdom, grab some Food & Wine treats this afternoon, and if you're buyin' Lightning Lanes, Multi Pass runs cheapest at EPCOT and Animal Kingdom. Check exact prices in the app before ya commit!
