Hey there, David, and welcome to planDisney! Thanks so much for your question!
You've clearly done some solid homework already as you plan for your upcoming trip - nice work! As of right now, the
Hours & Events Schedule page is the place you're going to want to look for things like park hours. This schedule is made available about six weeks out from the current date, so the official park hours for October 20, 2026 haven't been posted yet. You'll want to check back closer to early September to see those hours confirmed.
That said, I can share what the pattern looks like based on similar Tuesdays leading up to that date. Disneyland Park has been running until 11:00 p.m. on those comparable evenings, and there's a very good reason for that. October is
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort, and Disney California Adventure closes early on select nights to host
Oogie Boogie Bash — A Disney Halloween Party, which is a separately ticketed event. On those same nights, Disneyland Park tends to stay open later to accommodate guests who aren't attending the party over in DCA. So the early closure you noticed at Disney California Adventure Park is actually a good sign that Disneyland Park will be open well into the evening on October 20.
My family loves Halloween Time at the Happiest Place on Earth. I'm a huge Nightmare Before Christmas fan so I love the
Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay, and the
seasonal food offerings are always a highlight. It's a fantastic time of year to visit.
I'd bookmark the
Hours & Events Calendar and check back in early September for the confirmed hours, David. That'll give you everything you need to finalize your plans!
Thanks again for stopping by planDisney, David. I hope you have an incredible Halloween Time visit!
Have a Magical Day,
Greg
