Christmas Party Sellout Changes Your November Plans

A-hyuck! Here's ol' Goofy's read on Sunday, October 18. Magic Kingdom is a Not-So-Scary Party day again — all seven remaining Halloween nights are sold out, and party guests start flooding in at 4 p.m. That makes this morning one of the season's last roomy MK stretches: ride the headliners before lunch, then decide. No ticket? EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival (running through November 21) is included with admission and is my pick for the evening.

Now for some bad news: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party's opening night, November 8, sold out this afternoon, so November 15 is the earliest November date left at $189–$229 a ticket. Want a November night? Book it this week, friend. Sunday's high hits 78° with rain climbing toward 60% late — pack ponchos!
