Gawrsh, folks, big news before you pack your bags: Magic Kingdom shuts its gates at 6 PM today because Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is rollin' nightly till midnight. So if you've got a MK day, waddle home for dinner or head to EPCOT, which stays open till 9. Hollywood Studios stays till 9:30 for the evening crowd, and Animal Kingdom clocks out at 6 too. EPCOT's Food & Wine Festival is still going strong (Aug 27 – Nov 16), so grab a booth before the dinner rush. Pack sunscreen and a hat — it's a muggy 87°F with scattered showers about 40% likely. A-hyuck! Book Lightning Lanes fast: Disney's surging prices into October, so prices only climb from here.
