Jessica & Marie -

It won't be a lengthy, multi-day extravaganza this time around (well, not exactly, but sort of...which I will explain after all is revealed!

), simply because I have to put most of my focus and planning on trying to pull off the big holiday trip at this point. Halloween Time has to take a bit of a 'second banana' role

to the Christmas season when there is a big trip involved.

BUT, I do so miss the giant Mickey pumpkin, and I really need to get into the Halloween Round-Up and explore. So I am hoping this brief trip will result in many, many photos - you know I can get on a roll with taking them, whether the pictures come out good, bad or otherwise!

I just need to start snapping away at something!

Anyway, as I said, stay tuned....Halloween TR is coming very, very soon!

Can't wait to hear what days you will be going down to DL during the Halloween season.

WDWJonasGirl · 09-14-2011, 09:16 PM

Can't wait to hear about them.

kaoden39 · 09-14-2011, 10:34 PM

Ooh I love a good mystery!!!

mariezp · 09-16-2011, 08:37 PM

Okay, Sherry.... saw your mobile FB post about seeing the Mickey floral, Duffy not being at his photo spot earlier and Donald entertaining the crowd. Does this mean what I think it might mean? And, that today may have been the secret Halloween trip? Very sneaky!

Sherry E · 09-16-2011, 10:45 PM

Yes, Marie! Today was the day!

I am home now. I couldn't believe that the floral masked Mickey was back! That was one of the things I'd missed about the Halloween season since it was removed after 2007!

Anyway, I got as many photos as I could. I really need a few days to spread out the photo taking, take breaks, get back to photo-taking, etc. I went with Liza/funatdisney to DLR and we split up for a while to go off and take photos!

kaoden39 · 09-16-2011, 10:46 PM

Oh I can hardly wait to hear about your day!!

WDWJonasGirl · 09-16-2011, 10:47 PM

I can't wait to see it when I go next weekend. Unfortuneatley, my annual pass expires next week

Michele, I thought of you and Jessica when I passed by the Duffy pumpkin patch photo display in DCA today! I took a couple of pictures of it, as well as the Halloween Duffy sold in the stores on Main Street (when did Duffy move over to Main Street to be sold?).

Kaitlin, you'll have a blast! Everything on Main Street is totally Halloween-ified! The Halloween Round-Up is really cool.

I know what you mean - my AP expires the day before the holiday season starts! So I have to figure out if I am renewing it then or a couple of weeks later, or not at all or whatever! It's a bad feeling when the AP expires. You feel so lost without it!

mariezp · 09-16-2011, 10:56 PM

I knew it! Hope you had a great day. And, I am so glad you got to spend some time in the park. Will be looking forward to your pictures. No doubt even a quick day trip will inspire you to find a way of making sure your holiday trip starts taking shape.

Well, even while I was in the middle of all the Halloween fun, I still thought to myself, "I prefer the holiday season!" It's a different vibe - that's the only way I can explain it. Also, the decorations for the holidays are much more varied in texture and color, whereas Halloween decor always tends to stick with orange.

Nonetheless, I still love Halloween Time. And I love the cute merchandise. I had a good time, although my stupid leg started hurting me in the afternoon and interrupted my photo-taking progress. I was on a roll, but I had to finally surrender and sit down. What can I say? I was suffering for my 'art'!!!

Did you hear that premium annual passes went up to $500 a person

I probably won't be heading back until the holiday season.

Hello everyone! Got back from Sherry's about an hour ago. We had a great day and the weather was perfect and to Sherry's liking. I have lots of pics, too. I hope to have them up soon on the Halloween thread.
