Hey Howdy Hey Julie and welcome back to planDisney!
There are so many exciting things to look forward to when it comes to visiting the Walt Disney World Resort in October. Thank you for stopping by with your questions about dessert parties and extended evening hours. I will be happy to give you more information on each so you can better prepare for your time in the parks. Giddy up!
One surefire way to make your vacation extra Magical is by booking an activity from the
Enchanting Extras Collection. The dessert parties are one of my favorites and you will be in for a treat for the
Magic Kingdom Dessert Parties: Seats & Sweets. This option will be available during the fall on off times from Mickey's Not-So-Scarry Halloween Party. The party will be paired perfectly with the Happily Ever After fireworks show and special seating to enjoy. They will still have a special Halloween dessert party, but it will be labeled differently to identify one is for the Halloween party and the other is not, just to clear up any confusion. This dessert party will require a ticket to the Halloween party and will have a special Halloween fireworks show. It looks like at this time, you currently are not able to book the dessert party for the Halloween party quite yet.
I love where your thought process is going taking advantage of the late-night perks in the parks!
Extended Evening Theme Park Hours are available to Guests staying onsite at a Disney Deluxe Resort or Disney Deluxe Villa or other qualifying resorts. While we know these hours will continue through the 2024 calendar year, the specific days are not totally clear yet in the fall. As Disney continues to release park hours, keep an eye on the
calendar for when these hours are and which Theme Park they apply to. I will assure you that in the fall if these hours are available in Magic Kingdom, they will not be on nights of the Halloween party. They try to keep crowd levels lower for the special ticketed events for special access to the parks, attractions and all the fun during these times.
I hope this helped to clear up your questions while you continue to plan for your Magical vacation. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach back out and let us know, we are always happy to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Nick
