While Magic Kingdom throws its early blanket down at 6, EPCOT stays open 'til 9:00 PM this Sunday, October 18 — and the International Food & Wine Festival keeps rollin' through November 21, per the official guide. Cosmic Rewind draws the park's biggest trend waits, a 92-minute seven-day average, with a Lightning Lane single pass reported at $14–20 — day-of app pricing is the only live number. Reporting from October 17 says a new animated Remy shadow effect just popped up in the Remy's Ratatouille Adventure queue — not official yet, so keep your eyes peeled, folks. If any queue balloons, The Land and The Seas with Nemo & Friends are no-line walk-ins — and a young manatee calf nicknamed "Calfuccino" just arrived at The Seas. A-hyuck, that's a free show!
