Central Florida’s theme-park calendar turns a corner Sunday: several Halloween programs end tonight, while the first holiday events arrive later this week. That makes today less about one headline attraction and more about deadlines—what visitors can still catch, and what begins next. Travelers with flexible dates should compare the final-event crowds against the quieter weekdays between seasonal programs.

## Five planning points for Sunday

1. **Halloween Horror Nights closes its 2026 run tonight.**
2. **Disney’s first separately ticketed holiday night begins Saturday, Nov. 7.**
3. **SeaWorld’s Spooktacular ends today, with Christmas Celebration starting Friday.**
4. **LEGOLAND’s Brick-or-Treat finishes today before Christmas Bricktacular opens Nov. 21.**
5. **Busch Gardens closes Spooktacular today and starts its November event sequence next weekend.**

## Walt Disney World: a regular Sunday before holiday parties begin

Disney’s major planning change is one week away rather than today. [Disney Jollywood Nights](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/hollywood-studios/jollywood-nights/?ref=theamericanquorum.com) begins at Hollywood Studios on Saturday, Nov. 7, with event hours from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. The first [Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/events-tours/magic-kingdom/mickeys-very-merry-christmas-party/?ref=theamericanquorum.com) follows at Magic Kingdom on Sunday, Nov. 8, from 7 p.m. to midnight. Both are separately ticketed events, so visitors planning ordinary park days should check the calendar for early closings on party dates.

For today, [Magic Kingdom lists regular park hours of 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.](https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/destinations/magic-kingdom/?ref=theamericanquorum.com), with Early Theme Park Entry from 8:30 to 9 a.m. That full evening makes Sunday a useful alternative for guests who want a longer Magic Kingdom day before the holiday-party schedule starts.

## Universal Orlando: the last HHN night

[Halloween Horror Nights runs through Sunday, Nov. 1](https://www.universalorlando.com/hhn/en/us/about?ref=theamericanquorum.com), making tonight the final chance to visit the 2026 houses and scare zones. The event’s official guidance lists a 6:30 p.m. opening, while eligible daytime guests can use the separately offered Scream Early path after 2 p.m. A Halloween Horror Nights ticket is separate from daytime park admission.

One broader operating note remains in effect: Universal’s official [park-hours page lists Volcano Bay as temporarily closed for planned maintenance](https://www.universalorlando.com/web/en/us/plan-your-visit/hours-information/park-hours?ref=theamericanquorum.com), with reopening expected on or before April 1, 2027\. Visitors building a multi-park itinerary should not count on a Universal water-park day this fall or winter.

## Around Central Florida: three season changes

**SeaWorld Orlando:** [Halloween Spooktacular concludes today](https://seaworld.com/orlando/events/halloween-spooktacular/?ref=theamericanquorum.com). The park then has a short turnaround before [Christmas Celebration begins Friday, Nov. 6](https://seaworld.com/orlando/events/christmas-celebration/?ref=theamericanquorum.com), and runs on select dates through Jan. 4, 2027.

**LEGOLAND Florida:** [Brick-or-Treat’s final date is today](https://www.legoland.com/florida/things-to-do/seasonal-events/brick-or-treat/?ref=theamericanquorum.com). The resort lists LEGOLAND park hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with the water park closing at 4 p.m. The next major seasonal event, [Christmas Bricktacular](https://www.legoland.com/florida/things-to-do/seasonal-events/holidays-at-legoland/?ref=theamericanquorum.com), begins Nov. 21 and continues on select dates through Jan. 3.

**Busch Gardens Tampa Bay:** The park’s [family-friendly Spooktacular ends today](https://buschgardens.com/tampa/events/spooktacular/?ref=theamericanquorum.com), scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. The next weekend brings [Wild Oasis Kids Weekend on Nov. 7-8](https://buschgardens.com/tampa/events/?ref=theamericanquorum.com), followed by Christmas Town beginning Nov. 13\. For visitors looking for a water park today, [Aquatica Orlando lists hours of 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.](https://aquatica.com/orlando/park-info/hours/?ref=theamericanquorum.com)
