Thursday's Plan: Ticket Dash, Parade Peek, Late EPCOT Starts

Gawrsh, folks — ol' Goofy's got Thursday, October 22, all mapped out. Tomorrow's a calm one: Magic Kingdom runs 9 to 10, EPCOT and Hollywood Studios 9 to 9, and Animal Kingdom 8 to 6, with no ride refurbs on the schedule. Here's the do-this-now part: D23 members, log into your D23 account at 1 p.m. EDT Friday, October 23, when tickets go on sale for Mickey's of Glendale — a rare Imagineering merch pop-up at Disney's Coronado Springs on Sunday, November 15. Named, non-transferable tickets, photo ID and D23 card required, and these windows book out fast. Two heads-up for your calendar: a daytime Christmas parade tapes at Magic Kingdom at 2 p.m. on November 10 and 11 — free to watch — and EPCOT opens at 10 a.m. instead of 9 this Friday and Sunday for the Wine & Dine race weekend. A-hyuck! Plan early and I'll see ya in line.
