Halloween's Here — Rope Drop TRON, Then Chase Costumes Down Main Street

Advice for 2026-09-15 · Published Sep 15, 2026, 7:16 AM ET

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

A-hyuck! Magic Kingdom is the Halloween centerpiece today, and every headliner's up and runnin'. Make TRON Lightcycle / Run your first stop — it's at 60 and needs a 44" height — then pivot to Space Mountain and Big Thunder, both at 40. Watch for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and The Barnstormer, both temporarily down, so don't loop back expecting to ride 'em — that's where the crowd'll bounce, which is exactly when Winnie the Pooh (35) softens. Merch is fresh on Main Street: a Skeleton Dance / Haunted House Halloween collection has landed. Park closes at 11 tonight, so spread it out — costume photo in the morning, beat the 60% rain midday indoors, and save a ride for when the heat breaks. Mickey at Town Square Theater and the princesses open at 9, so say hi early. Ol' Goofy wouldn't have it any other way — Halloween at the Castle is a night to remember.
