Gawrsh, folks — Sunday, October 18 is a split-the-day kind of day here at Walt Disney World. Magic Kingdom's gates lock at 6:00 PM tonight for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, so day guests get eight riding hours, not eleven — and party folks start stacking up near the exits by 5:30. My advice? Use MK early, then waddle over to EPCOT or Hollywood Studios, both open till 9:00 PM. Over at Disney Springs, the RSVLTS pop-up at Marketplace Co-Op is on its final day — joining is done in person with a Cast Member for a text when it's your turn, not on the app. A-hyuck! Sun's out: 79° high, rain chance under 10%. No rain plan needed today!
