Halloween's Here, Animal Kingdom's Out — Plan for Tomorrow

Advice for 2026-09-15 · Published Sep 14, 2026, 9:00 PM ET

Archived briefing. Hours, prices, availability, and recommendations may have changed. Check today’s dashboard.

A-hyuck, folks — Halloween season has officially kicked off at the World, and it's a two-story day. Magic Kingdom is the place to be tonight with the whole Halloween lineup, but Animal Kingdom is effectively shut down — ten of seventeen attractions closed, including Avatar Flight of Passage and Kilimanjaro Safaris, so skip it tomorrow and don't waste a ticket. EPCOT is the crowded hotspot, with Cosmic Rewind spiking to 135 minutes, way over its normal 60. Plan around the heat: it's a 94° day with a 60% rain chance this afternoon, so hydrate, pack ponchos, and rope drop the headliners early. Lightning Lane prices are creeping up ahead of October too — book the good ones before they climb.
