** October 2025 Check In Thread**

[WITN-E]

Fantasmic dining has been added for October 17th and 18th. I checked for it this morning and it was there. The only option was Rancho Del Zocalo, which was fine with me, but I thought it was weird that that was the only option.

I saw that too and thought it was weird. I bet they just haven't loaded the rest of the options yet. The bookings for the dining package have been inconsistent for weeks. I am still holding out that they open up for the 19th. Fingers crossed!

We'll be there Oct 20-25. It'll be our first time at OBB and my husband's first time to DL. We're doing MNSSHP on 10/19 and then OBB on 10/21. I'm so excited!

You are doing WDW and then DL back to back? That is awesome! Please report back your take on both of the parties once your trip is complete. I would love to know which one you think is better!

The rest of the dining options have now been added!
No rhyme or reason on the timing I think but at least they are live now!

Just decided on a trip for Oct 24-25. Just 2 days for my husband and I. Staying at Desert Palm.

Set the alarm at 5:55am today and got my Blue Bayou reservation for the trip. Starting to feel real!

Yup, we're doing them back to back. We'd already planned our annual WDW trip, and then one of my So-Cal friends posted about there still being some OBB dates left and who wanted to go with her. So we decided why not fly across the country to go with her. I'm super excited to do both. Sorry to our kids in college, but we're living our best empty nest lives.

Come on, Disney! Release the World of Color dessert party and/or the dining package for the rest of October! That is a priority for us, so I'd like to be able to finish planning around it.

I'd also like to know when Small World is closing to get all Christmasy and when Napa Rose is reopening.

We're currently booked at the Fairfield, but this DVC owning WDW girly is struggling with that. I've talked myself out of the GCH splurge, but I'm still tempted by DLH. We won't be spending much time at the resort though, so that's silly, right?
