Gawrsh, folks — Magic Kingdom's the Halloween spotlight tomorrow, and here's how to play it. Rope drop TRON Lightcycle/Run: it's sitting at 75 minutes and only climbs, so be at the gates for 9 AM open and ride it first. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train's next at 40 — do it midday, then let the kids ride it again when the lines go soft after dinner. Meet Mickey at Town Square at 9 AM if the little ones are hoppy, and grab that new 55th Anniversary MagicBand+ ($44.99) before they run out. Watch for the spike at Winnie the Pooh — it's running 30 min, double what you'd expect mid-midweek, so skip it now and circle back later. Park closes at 10 PM, and Happily Ever After lights up the castle at 9:30, so stick around for the fireworks and let the whole day wind down magical. It's a keeper!
