Gawrsh, if you're at Magic Kingdom through October 31, treat 6 PM as the park's real bedtime — Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party rolls in at 7 and every remaining 2026 night is sold out. Here's the trick: party guests can wander in from 4 PM, so the headliners get thick late afternoon. Ride one before 4 or stick around after 5 when the after-party crowd hasn't shown. New since this week: the Diamond Horseshoe in Frontierland has reopened as a limited-time small-plates-and-cocktails lounge — a covered, seated escape if the rain gods show up. One heads-up: Tiana's Bayou Adventure closes November 2 for its first refurb since 2024, returning December 18.
