Hiya, Kristen, and welcome to planDisney! It's so exciting that you're here with this question today! It sounds like you're planning a fun vacation to the Most Magical Place on Earth in October, and you must be enjoying the countdown!
Kristen, you'll be happy to know that there is flexibility in your
Disney Theme Park ticket. When you purchase it, you'll choose the date you'd like to visit. If your plans change, you have until midnight the night before your visit to make adjustments to the date. Since each day is priced differently, you might incur a charge when changing to a new date. Happily, your ticket won't lose its value!
There is so much to do during the fall at Walt Disney World Resort! Did you know that you can attend special after-hours parties like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party? Guests of all ages will be donning their favorite costumes and trick-or-treating throughout
Magic Kingdom Park during this frightfully fun evening. This event is separately ticketed, and does have an impact on the normal operating hours of Magic Kingdom Park, so be sure to check the schedule before you choose the day of your visit if you're planning to head that way.
I always look forward to attending the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This event is actually included with the price of admission, and you'll enjoy Global Marketplaces stocked with seasonal snacks and beverages inspired by countries around the world. You'll also be treated to unique performances by talented artists and you can still visit all of your favorite attractions like
Living with the Land.
Kristen, I hope this is helpful as you plan your visit! Please stop back by planDisney anytime with questions you have about your upcoming vacation!
See you real soon!
Jennifer
