Disneyland first timer..Oct. questions

[MA pigletfan]

SO excited about our first trip to DL in October! We will be there from Oct 8-12 at the GCH!
I have a few questions:
1. when do they release Oct. park hours/event schedule
2. How soon can i book DL ADRs
3. Mickeys Sweet Treat, is it worth it for 2 adults to check out that party..and when do tix go on sale for that ?

Thank you!!!!

1. Hours will be posted 2-4 months beforehand. Entertainment will be posted either at that time or usually within a month of the park hours. Unless something special is happening things do not change that much from year to year. Look at Oct 2007 and use that for planning in the mean time - www.laughingplace.com/Guide-Cal-dlr2-200710.asp

2. ADRs at DLR are called PS - Priority Seating - and are much less in demand than at WDW. You can make a PS 60 days in advance but many people are successful in getting a PS the day before they want it even in busy season.

3. Do not know.

4. You did not have a #4 but I added this myself . Lots of WDW vets have gotten good info from this link:
