I am going in October, too, and hope that Fantasmic will be back then. Going by last Fall's schedule, Fantasmic is ususally on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. DL is ususally open until 8:00 p.m. Mon. through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday and maybe about 10:00 p.m. on Sunday. Unfortunately the nights the parks are open later are also the times the parks will be the most crowded. The good news is that the Halloweeen decorations will be up!
