Which day should I go to MK?

[Rebecca Pocahontas]

I'm going to WDW parks this year on October 31-November 2 and I would like some advice for which day I should do Magic Kingdom.
(I know that October 31 and Nov 1 are both party days so the park closes at 6 pm)

-I go the parks for rides. That's the biggest thing for me. I don't care about the fireworks or other daily/night entertainment.
-I've been to MK on party day before, leaving at 6 pm, and I got to do so many rides because it was pretty empty. It was a great day. However that was in September of 2022. Would it still be mostly empty on Halloween or the day after?
-Is November 2 (the first non-party day) super crowded? It'll be a Thursday.

Basically, which day would y'all recommend as the best day to do MK just for the most rides?

Usually I find Wed and Thurs the best days to do MK. Generally speaking.

Wed for MK would be my pick too in your scenario. Enjoy the light park (Thurs likely to be comparatively bigger crowds) and it might be nice to have the shorter park day in the middle of your trip to get a little rest up.
