I seem to remember that last October it got very dark very quickly and I think it was quite early (like 6ish) although I may be wrong, someone will know for definate!
well hear goes,October does get dark pretty early,but you wont really notice,its a great time of year to go,we are there ourselves again this oct/nov,it is still very warm and sunny,with plenty to do after the parks close.the queues are minimal and not a problem at all.hope you have a wonderfull time,you definateley should do this in my opinion is the best time to go.p.s during our half term it can be a bit busy,but not to bad.
Thanks for that, have spoken a lot on these threads about October weather but wasn't aware of when it got dark. Sounds like you really like it in October, we are going on the 6th for three weeks so the first fortnight is out of half term so hopefully it will be quiet.
