For many, October is a popular time to visit Disney World.

The kids are on fall break, Halloween decorations are up in the parks, and you can even attend Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! (Oh, and not to mention that the heat isn’t nearly as unbearable in October.) We know that many of you are in the process of planning your fall vacation at Disney World, so it’s important that you take this word of warning.
On Disney’s website, it shows that Disney’s Hollywood Studios will close at 5PM on October 17th, 2023. Okay, that’s one park. What’s the big deal?

Well, in addition to Hollywood Studios’ early closure, Magic Kingdom will close at 6PM for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Animal Kingdom will close at 7PM as usual.

Basically, we’re saying that you should either purchase tickets for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Halloween Party on October 17th, visit EPCOT that evening, or have an early night.

Even though this is just one day that most of the parks will be closed early, it’s important to plan ahead so that it doesn’t catch you off guard and ruin plans you already made.

We’ll continue to keep you updated with any and all Disney news and updates so that you’re always in the loop. Make sure to follow along for more!
