** October 2025 Check In Thread**

[piglet too]

I’ll be there the 6th-7th, taking my 26yr old son for his first trip. We will be visiting my friend who lives in the area and doing other touristy stuff too.

I'll be at the parks October 16, 17, and 18th. My sister in law and 7 year old niece are going with me. We are staying at the HOJO. We did a big family trip to WDW when my niece was 20 months old, so she doesn't remember it at all. I'm looking forward to her reactions to everything and to doing a girls trip. I've always done Disney trips with my son, so I'm looking forward to being able to do the girly things with my niece.

I got Goofy's for dinner on the 9th, yay! One of my friends booked Oga's for us on the 10th, which I'm excited for because we haven't gone before.

Fantasmic! scheduling shenanigans? errors? continue. I hope they are errors. Per the dining event calendar today it is not showing the second weekend of October.

Welcome! So glad you are here and congrats on your trip! I will also be going to my first OBB on the 21st so I'll cross my fingers for us both that the weather is perfect!

Sooooo, is anyone else seeing that it appears there won't be any night time entertainment? Looking at both F! and WOC for our dates and neither the F! dining package or WOC dessert party are available. I'm curious if neither show will be happening, or if they just aren't doing meal/dessert for those nights.

Yeah. Another poster made a thread that Fantasmic! is going down for a refurb after the first weekend in October. I am so bummed!

I tried to book Fantasmic dining for October 17th this morning. No availability. I'm super bummed. I had not noticed WOC with no options either. It's my second choice but I figured we could at least do that. Just tried a WOC dining package that for the 17th as well, and no availability. That really stinks.

 

[WITN-E]

Good news everyone! Looks like Fantasmic! is getting put back on the schedule on its normal days - no refurb down time! At least, Disney has added showings back on Sunday the 5th and Saturday/Sunday the 10th and 11th. No update for the following week yet but I am hopeful they are just late in adding it similar to how they added the new dates late

My 6 year daughter and I are going to be there October 25th to 27th for a mommy daughter trip. She is about 45 inches in bare feet so she is really hoping with shoes she is tall enough for Indiana Jones.

Not seeing fireworks or Paint the Night so far for weeknights beginning on 9/29 (unlike previous weeks). Will they not be occurring that week or are they just behind releasing show times for some reason?

 

[LKing]

Thanks, the Disneyland park hours page currently does not show any pardes, fireworks, or projection shows 9/28, 9/29, or 10/1. Is it possible they are only doing them on select dates that week or taking a brief hiatus? I would find that strange considering they are daily offerings the week before (9/21-9/27) and October would seemingly be busier.

I suppose they could just be behind in rolling out those show times but that would be inconsistent with how they were handling dates pre-9/27. Up to that point in September, entertainment showtimes were seemingly released as soon as the park hours for that date were made public. They weren't lagging.

I am a little concerned because I have trip scheduled with park days spanning 10/1 - 10/6. This is only my second ever trip (first being 2017) since I don't live remotely close to CA and the first DL trip for a child in my party.

Fireworks and projection times at DL have been added for 9/28 - 10/1, but it appears there will be no Paint the Night on 10/1 or 10/2 as if right now unless something changes. The dining reservation calendar indicates it might not start running until 10/3.
