Goofy's call: Magic Kingdom shuts down early today (Thu, Oct 29), closing at 6 p.m. for a ticketed holiday party from 7 p.m. to midnight. If you are there, build in an exit by 6. Without a party ticket, EPCOT is the better afternoon plan: it stays open until 9 p.m. tonight.

Worth a stop: Disney's BagCheck airport luggage transfer just added Coronado Springs, Port Orleans - French Quarter, and Port Orleans - Riverside, per reporting confirmed today. Flying American, JetBlue, Southwest, or United into MCO soon? Register 30 days to 24 hours before your flight and your bags reach the resort about 4 hours after landing.

Coming soon: Disney Parks Blog posted the Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party food guide today. The separately ticketed Magic Kingdom nights run Nov 8 through Dec 22, with new snacks like the Winter Wonderland Express.
