Well whaddya know, folks — the week of October 12-18 flipped Walt Disney World from spooky to jolly, and ol' Goofy did the homework so you don't have to. Magic Kingdom is closing at 6 PM on Mickey's Not-So-Scary party nights through October 31, and every 2026 party date is sold out. At Hollywood Studios, a Tuesday, October 20 corporate buyout means a 5 PM closing instead of 9. On the Christmas side, Very Merry Christmas Party opening night (November 8) sold out this week along with November 20 — that's 10 of 25 nights gone, with November 15 the earliest night left standing. Remy's Bite of the Day: the Tiramisu at Via Napoli over in EPCOT's Italy pavilion, about $14 — a sweet consolation prize for any park-hopping sore feet. A-hyuck!
