Goofy's call: Rope drop Disney's Hollywood Studios at 8:30 a.m. this Saturday, Oct 31, instead of Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom closes at 6 p.m. sharp tomorrow for a special ticketed evening event, so day guests lose the whole night there. Hollywood Studios runs 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and EPCOT stays open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. as alternatives.
Watch out: Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party has now lost 16 of its 25 nights, with Nov 15, Nov 19 and Dec 3 the latest sellouts, per Blog Mickey on Oct 30. Sunday, Nov 29 is the only November date left, so holiday-party planners should decide this weekend.
Coming soon: Santa's virtual queue at Disney Springs opens Nov 11 and runs through Dec 24, with no standby line reported, so join in the My Disney Experience app.
