Walt Disney World · GOOFY’S TAKE

Saturday: The Fire Engine Is Back, MK Runs Late

Advice for 2026-10-24 · Published Oct 24, 2026, 8:58 AM ET

Goofy's call: Start today, Saturday, October 24, at Magic Kingdom. WDWNT reports the restored turn-of-the-century fire engine is carrying guests down Main Street again after a multi-year break. The park opens at 8 AM and stays open until 11 PM tonight, the latest close in the resort.

Watch out: Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress is offline for refurbishment today, so build a small buffer when you route around Tomorrowland.

Coming soon: Magic Kingdom closes early at 6 PM on Sunday, October 25, for a ticketed event, so tonight's late block is your last easy shot at the classics this weekend.

Worth a stop: The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs through November 21, per Disney's official Foodie Guide, which makes an afternoon marketplace hop the easiest win of the day. Explore. Eat. Repeat.
