    Want to find out the attendance for Epcot, Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios. Our trip is Oct 27th, 28th and 29th. Maybe last years info would help us plan this upcoming trip.

    Hello Tammy!

    Welcome to planDisney! It is so great to hear from you. I hope you are having a wonderful time planning your Walt Disney World Resort vacation. 

    It would be fascinating to know the attendance levels of each theme park. I am sure the numbers would be mind-boggling. While I don't have that information, several sites publish a crowd calendar estimating park attendance levels from prior years to guess which days may be a little less crowded this year. Of course, it's mostly speculation and guesses since each year can vary, but they are still handy and neat to look at. 

    Most calendars show your trip dates at a moderate attendance level. If you're visiting each park once per day and do not plan on using the Park Hopper Option, I would recommend not visiting Magic Kingdom Park on 10/27 or 10/29, as Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is taking place those nights. Guests who haven't purchased separate admission for the event will need to leave the park by 6:00 PM, so you won't be able to get a full day in or experience the nighttime entertainment. Your best day for Magic Kingdom Park would be 10/28.

    Other than that, I tend to look at the park calendar to see what the park hours are like. The calendar typically shows about 60 days prior, so you may need to wait a few days for your dates to show. If you are staying at a Disney Resort hotel or select other hotels you can take advantage of a 30-minute early entry into Walt Disney World theme parks every day of your stay (including check-in and check-out days).  Guests of Disney Deluxe Resorts can also take advantage of Extended Evening Theme Park Hours on select nights.

    Your visit to EPCOT will be during the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which is amazing! You'll get to dine around the world by visiting global marketplaces for a small bite or drink representing each country. I have a couple of months to go before I will be there, but I am already drooling over the festival menus!

    Have an incredible vacation, Tammy! If we can help you with anything else, please come see us again soon.

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren
