If you’re looking to visit Disney World in October, here are some things to take note of:

• The weather is finally getting a little cooler in October, but it’s still really nice out.
• Since the kids are in school, the parks are less crowded in October, so you’ll find lines for rides to be less.
• Columbus Day weekend will be more crowded, since many will be off of school/work.
• Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party will be going on this month. So the Magic Kingdom will likely be more crowded those days, plus note that the park will close earlier on those days.
• The Epcot International Food & Wine Festival will be going on, and be open until the middle of November, so on weekends Epcot will be more crowded. This also means that besides food and wine, there will be the “Eat to the Beat” concert series with many famous groups.
• Since it’s not as crowded, the parks will close a little bit earlier.
• Now that peak season is over, some rides will go into refurbishment. Make sure your favorite rides are open before you book your trip!
• This is one of our favorite months to visit Disney World, as you can often just walk right onto rides or wait just a very short time. It’s still shorts weather, but most of the time it isn’t too hot. Add the fact that Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is going on, plus Epcot’s Food & Wine Festival, and it’s a really great time to visit.
