Gawrsh, folks — Halloween's kicked off at WDW and crowds sit at a busy 7 out of 10, so pick your park smart. EPCOT is the stand-out today: all its headliners are runnin', the Food & Wine Festival's in full swing, and Guardians of the Galaxy's Cosmic Rewind is the one to chase first — it's sittin' at 105 minutes. Magic Kingdom's getting hammered, with Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Tiana's Bayou Adventure both down, so hold off. Animal Kingdom? It's basically shut down for the season — ten attractions closed, including Avatar Flight of Passage and Kilimanjaro Safaris. A heads-up: 46% chance of afternoon storms, so queue indoor shows midday. A-hyuck!
