Welcome back to planDisney, Brook. I am so glad you brought another magical question to the most pixie-dusted place on the internet for all things related to Disney vacations.
I have the exact same question as you because I am also planning a Walt Disney World Vacation in October and want to know the
theme park hours. This happens every year and usually the fall calendar is released before the dates for
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party and
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party are announced. Last year the dates were announced in late April with ticket sales beginning in early May. I recommend following the
Disney Parks Blog where the latest and greatest Disney news breaks to Disney fans all over the world.
planDisney Pro Tip: Since you will be at Walt Disney World Resort during Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party dates, I highly recommend you purchase tickets right when they are released. Dates closest to Halloween tend to sell out quickly. Also, Guests attending the Halloween party may enter Magic Kingdom Park at 4:00 p.m. This gives an extra three hours to enjoy the attractions before the official party start time.
Brook, please
let me know directly if you have follow-up questions to help plan your enchanted Disney adventure.
Enjoy making many Magical Memories.
