Hi Cynthia! Welcome to planDisney!
I'm excited to hear about your upcoming visit to the
Walt Disney World Resort! October is a beautiful time of year to visit, especially with the festive fall decor sprinkled throughout the parks and resorts.
After taking a look at the
Hours & Events Calendar, it seems like Fantasmic! will be shown nightly throughout the first half of October. Park hours and events have only been released until the week of October 13th, so we are still waiting on word for the remainder of the month. I think it is safe to assume that unless the park is closing early for a private function, Fantasmic! will typically be shown each night. Of course, this is weather-dependent, since the show can be delayed or canceled due to bad weather. I've also witnessed a modified version in the past, which usually includes a shorter runtime of the event.
Based on this information, if
Fantasmic! is a must-do during your stay, you should have no problem fitting it into your schedule most nights you are visiting. I suggest checking back to the Walt Disney World website for up-to-date hours once they are released.
Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away has recently begun a few weeks ago at the Magic Kingdom. This new nighttime parade has already been dazzling Guests each night. Currently, hours for this event have not been released for your arrival date. You'll need to be patient as this show just debuted toward the end of July. With the parade coinciding somewhat closely to Happily Ever After, you have plenty to experience at the Magic Kingdom at night!
Cynthia, I hope you have a magical time during your stay!
Stop back and see us any time at planDisney!
