Halloween week covers the final nights of Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party season at Magic Kingdom, a separately ticketed event that closes the park early to day guests on party nights. This page tracks Halloween week 2026 — Oct 28–Nov 1, 2026 — day by day for all four parks.
Every day of Halloween week 2026 is now inside SupaPark's detailed forecast — the hour-by-hour model behind the crowd calendar, graded every day against measured waits. Levels below are the same served levels the app shows, and the wait column is the forecast midday (12–5 PM) average posted wait of each park's headliners.

Averaged over the four parks, Halloween week 2026 sits at 4.8/10, against 5.2/10 for the other 26 detailed forecast days of October and November — about as busy as the rest of the month (a 0.4-level difference). EPCOT is the busiest park of the window (6.2/10) and Magic Kingdom the lightest (3.6/10). On the detailed days, headliners are forecast to average 44 min at midday.
SupaPark's permanent half-hour wait archive starts on Jul 17, 2026, so we do not have a measured Halloween from a previous year — and we will not invent one. What we do have are this year's holiday weekends: across Labor Day weekend 2026 (Sep 5–Sep 7, 2026), the four parks' headliners averaged 53 min at midday, against 47 min on ordinary weekends (22 days) and 44 min on weekdays (60 days). Holiday weekends ran 6 minutes longer than an ordinary weekend.
Party nights matter too. On 28 measured Magic Kingdom party days (Aug 7–Oct 9, 2026), the park's headliners averaged 32 min at midday, versus 45 min on its 36 non-party days in the same span (13 min shorter) — day guests who know the park closes early tend to shift elsewhere.

Every day of Halloween week is inside SupaPark's detailed forecast, which is graded against measured waits every day and published at supapark.com/accuracy. The page refreshes as new data arrives.
SupaPark measured Labor Day weekend 2026: headliners averaged 53 min at midday across the four parks, versus 47 min on ordinary weekends and 44 min on weekdays (Jul 17–Oct 11, 2026).
The crowd level is SupaPark's 1–10 scale of how busy a park feels. Inside the detailed forecast it is set from the forecast midday average posted wait of that park's headliners (1 = under 24 min, 2 = 24–29, 3 = 30–35, 4 = 36–41, 5 = 42–47, 6 = 48–54, 7 = 55–61, 8 = 62–68, 9 = 69–76, 10 = 77+ min); beyond it the long-range model bands its own daily index onto the same 1–10 scale. Over the last 30 days, SupaPark's park-level forecasts missed the measured headliner average by 8.8 min on average (18,019 graded park-hours) — see supapark.com/accuracy. Hard-ticket party dates come from Disney's published calendar where available; dates marked estimated follow the typical party cadence.
