MK's a Sprint — It Closes at 6, Not 10

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

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

Listen close now, 'cause this bites: Magic Kingdom closes at 6 PM today for the Halloween Party, and after 7 it's party tickets only. So rope-drop TRON Lightcycle/Run — it's the headliner and Multi Pass runs $20–$25 — and hit Seven Dwarfs Mine Train early too (that's $12–$18). The Halloween merch just hit Main Street, U.S.A., and New Adventureland got fresh collectible medallions, so window-shop before you rush. Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress is still in refurb, so don't count on it. Grab a Casey's Corner Corn Dog Nuggies for a crowd-pleasing snack. With crowds rated high and avg waits near 52 minutes, make every hour count — leave for the park by rope-drop, not brunch.
