~*~ Official October 2024 Thread ~*~

I am tentatively planning for a trip over Halloween (likely October 31-November 2, given we have a Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on 11/1).
Nothing is booked yet, I'll probably be in the Contemporary for this trip.
And it's official...

No Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party this year, maybe next year (that or Jollywood Nights).
 
Joining the October club - Sept 28 to Oct 11 for us at Pop. Haven’t been since 2019. So many new things to experience including the Skyliner. So excited to be into double digits for the countdown!
 
We barely qualify for the October group - we'll be at the Pop Century 10/30-11/3 and then Polynesian 11/3-11/6. Already got our MNSSHP for Halloween night. Now considering adding a day prior and either another MNSSHP or a HHN.
 
Going Sept. 29 - Oct. 4th, staying at Boardwalk Villa’s. Also decided to go to MNSSHP👻👻. Haven’t been to WDW since 2019, so excited to return. Just me (62) and my sister (68). We will have a blast, can’t wait! 😁
 
My daughter (age 9) and I fly in on a Wednesday in October. There is a party on Thursday and Friday that week, we also have 2-day park hopper tickets. What do you recommend for schedule? Staying at Pop, 4th trip to Disney, 1st time to party. I need to buy party tix asap..trying to pick the date!

Looking at hours the week of October 20. Appears that extended evening hours moves from EP and MK to AK and HS. Also Epcot closing early on 10/22. Any insights into why epcot is closing early and why the changes in extended evening hours?

The website hours are only thru to October 17 but according to my daughter who is my MDE expert the hours are on the app. I am assume this is what you speak of. I am super super super hoping that these hours on the app are wrong.

We are doing a once in a lifetime trip with my elderly parents. These hours will make me sad and pretty much ruin "my plan" lol. Every hotel we have planned (and are paying top dollar for) was placed around normal hours. So this week they do no Epcot late hours on Monday but they do it every other Monday of the entire year. UGH. Ok hope it is wrong or someone has insights lol
 
Deluxe late hours can shift parks during MK party seasons in October. I think they did it last year. One never knows until Disney releases hours.
 
I can do dining on Saturday. This trip is just my wife and me, and during our anniversary. The two most important things are Topolino's on our anniversary, and the Cava experience.

Got both! Cava on Thursday at 12:45. Topolino's at 8:05 on Friday; trying to push it up an hour or so, maybe. Also got Wine Bar George for the second night.

On October 22 there is a private event for the Gartner Conference - they rented the park out. My husband gets to go (not me though).
