Mickeys Halloween Party invites adults and children to dress up in costume and trick-or-treat at Disneyland.. These revelers can also arrive before the party to mix in with regular Disneyland guests for three hours prior to the start of Mickeys private bash. Highlights of Mickeys Halloween Party include:

• The special opportunity to play in Disneyland for up to three hours before the party starts; check www.Disneyland.com/Halloween for party hours.
• Fun treat stations offering both candy and healthy treats
• The Halloween Screams fireworks spectacular, hosted by Master of Scare-omonies Jack Skellington (presented exclusively for guests of Mickeys Halloween Party)
• Mickeys Costume Party cavalcade, performed twice nightly
• Dance parties, where guests will boo-gie to lively music
• An opportunity for everyone in the family to attend the park in costumes
• Photo locations with some popular Disney and Pixar Pals, and Disney Villains
• Favorite Disneyland rides and attractions, plus Halloween-themed attractions Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy
• Parking for one standard-size vehicle

....


....Some favorite Disney characters, including Mickey himself, will dress up in fun, fall costumes. Its the ideal environment to eat special holiday treats, play interactive games, listen to spirited music and watch a nightly character cavalcade that celebrates the season.

For Halloween fun at Disneyland, guests enjoy Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland. The experience begins as a typical Space Mountain adventure, but suddenly launches voyagers into a haunted section of the universe. Ghosts appear out of the starry darkness and swirling galaxies of Space Mountain, reaching out as if to grab guests as they speed through space. The exhilarating drops and curves of the journey are punctuated by piercing screams, creepy sound effects and haunting music.

Jack Skellington also returns to take over the Haunted Mansion and bring back Haunted Mansion Holiday to New Orleans Square in Disneyland. Transformed to a mix of Halloween spookiness and Christmas tradition, Haunted Mansion Holiday is inspired by the Tim Burton film The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jacks return to the Haunted Mansion includes the traditional Halloween/Christmas gingerbread house in the Mansion Ballroom, with some special spooky surprises in this years design.

Guests will also find some thrills at Disney California Adventure Park this fall. The Art of Frankenweenie Exhibition will feature sketches, props, sets and puppets from Tim Burtons new animated film, Frankenweenie from Sept. 14 through Nov. 5, and it includes a sneak peek of the movie. For spine-tingling fun, guests may drop in at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror" where a supernatural event happened on Halloween evening, 1939, forever haunting the building.....

When Does Halloween Time Begin?
Halloween Time at DLR usually begins on either the last Friday in September or the next to last Friday in September." In 2007 it began on 9/21, in 2008 it began on 9/26, in 2009 it began on 9/25, in 2010 it began on 9/17, in 2011 it began on 9/16 and this year (2012) it will begin on 9/14.

When Does Halloween Time End?
Halloween Time generally extends through and ends immediately after the last day of October, but if October 31st falls on a Friday or Saturday, Halloween Time will most likely continue through the weekend and end after Sunday

What Are The Halloween Time Highlights?
Highlights include the Halloween Round-Up, Haunted Mansion Holiday, Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, the Pumpkin Festival on Main Street, Mickey's Halloween Party and of course the newly released Halloween Screams Fireworks show!! There is always something to do!! This year at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney there was Haunted Gingerbread House decorating.

Are There Any Special Halloween Themed Rides?
Yes! There are two main attractions that have been gracing Disneyland during the Halloween season. The Haunted Mansion usually goes under refurbishment during the month of September to become "Haunted Mansion Holiday". During the Haunted Mansion Holiday take over, Jack Skellington and friends from Nightmare Before Christmas take over the Haunted Mansion to give it a Halloween/Christmas feel for the holidays. A new Halloween overlay addition is the Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy, seen for the first time in 2009. The Ghost Galaxy overlay to Space Mountain adds skeletons, aliens and ghosts to the usual dark starry ride, making those twists and turns even more exciting! Space Mountain also goes under refurbishment in September to add the Halloween overlay.

Why Did Disney Move Halloween To Disneyland?
Due to construction at Disney California Adventure going on through 2012, Disney has moved all the Halloween fun to Disneyland! 2010 was the first year they had done this and it was extremely successful. One of the biggest things about the 2010 year was the private event offering of the Halloween Screams Fireworks show during trick or treat parties ONLY. In 2009 Disney had launched the Halloween Screams Fireworks show to everyone but in 2010 moved the show to trick or treat ticket holders only.

What Is The Busiest Time During Halloween?
The busiest days tend to be of course Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays and then there are a few celebrations that tend to cause an uprising in normal crowd attendance. During usually the first weekend of October, Gay Days is celebrated which normally brings a larger crowd in than the normal weekend would. Columbus Day three day weekend and of course the day before Halloween (30th) and Halloween day (31st) are extremely busy. Other then that the days are normally pretty steady but not slammed full of people. Some people say that the first week of October when Utah state is on Fall Break can sometimes be a pretty busy time as well.

MICKEY'S HALLOWEEN PARTY WILL BEGIN ON

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 (additional dates to be announced)!!

All photos & original format by funatdisney (Liza)

General Information on Mickey's Halloween Party

Since 2006, Disneyland Resort has thrown a special ticketed event to attend a Halloween party in one of the Parks where guests both young and old can dress up in costumes, trick or treat, dance, and have a grand time. In addition, most of the ride attractions are open and operating. The park is transformed with added Halloween decorations and lighting which is only displayed during the Party. Disney Characters are dressed in costumes and there are special photo areas where guests can take a picture with their favorite character. Only a limited number of tickets are sold each night of the party, so most party goers do not experience long lines for the most popular rides during the party.

In previous years, when the party was held in Disney California Adventure, the party was called Mickey's Halloween Treat or Mickey's Trick or Treat Party, but the most recent version is called Mickey's Halloween Party, and it will be held in Disneyland. Here is the information for this year's party.

There will be special photo locations and more treat stations than previous parties.

Special Photo Locations:
Pirate Wharf at the Frontierland Dock

Critter Pals Splash Mountain
Winnie the Pooh & Friends - Critter Country
Toy Story Pals Big Thunder Ranch

As an added bonus, Mickey's Halloween Party ticket holders can enter Disneyland three hours before the start of the Mickey's Halloween Party and they will be allowed to enter Disneyland in costume. Guests with Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday Mickey's Halloween Party tickets will be allowed to enter at 3pm and those with Friday night tickets will be allowed to enter at 4pm. Disneyland Park will close at 6 pm when Mickey's Halloween Party is held on a Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday and at 7pm when the Party is held on Friday.

I made the move to the new thread! Thanks for being so organized and on top of things, Sherry!

Thanks for starting the new thread Sherry ~

[revwog1974]

Thanks for the move to a new thread Sherry.

I have a question, and I'm not trying to be critical. I'm just wondering. Why do you have the big quote from the 2010 Disneyland website? Why not quote from the 2012 website? I think that if people see 2010 they might think they have out of date information. If it is all still accurate maybe you could say something about how this information is from 2010 but is still accurate.

If it is all still accurate maybe you could say something about how this information is from 2010 but is still accurate.

I just had to start the new thread right now because the old one is about to hit its page limit. No other reason. But in the process of doing so I could bring Kristin's and Liza's info either to the placement/order I wanted and/or to page 1 - which was not possible to do last time because other DIS'ers posted in the thread before we could line our posts up! If any other Superthreads hit their page limits, they have to start anew too.

This time I had to be a bit stealth about it and start the thread in another forum, without a title, and reserve several posts back to back - and then I moved the thread over to this forum. I was afraid that people would start posting and break up the order again!

As you can see, I do have a link to the 2012 site in the very first post on this page. The thing is that the really detailed information about the season does not come out about Halloween right now. It doesn't come out until later, closer to when Halloween Time actually starts. And I find that not exactly the same info is released every year - even though certain things may be applicable every year. For example, there may not be a list of food items available every year, but those items are sold in the park. There may not be the same details published every year, even though those things are still part of the season.

I found that the 2010 info was pretty comprehensive, and I made sure to say it was from 2010. If this year we see something more extensive and detailed I will post it, but even last year's info (at least on the sites I checked) was not as inclusive.

Not much has changed for Halloween Time since 2010 and now (except for prices, of course)! So everything is still pretty much applicable!

And the other thing is that I do what I can on my threads, a little at a time, when I can get on the board. A lot of things are works in progress and cannot be totally complete all at once. I put a lot of time and effort into my threads - a lot of details, a lot of organizational stuff - but it doesn't happen overnight!

The third thread in just a few years. Nice to start a new one when the 2nd one is at the end of the posts.

Hi, Bret!

The first thread, as you may recall, was not really intended to be a Superthread but was started as a simple question by someone else, and it evolved from there.

The second thread - the first Official Halloween Time Superthread - had over 265,000 views! I would really rather not have to start a new one and give up all of those views and begin a new Table of Contents, but I also don't want to get to a point where the old thread is suffering from malfunctions and glitches and what not because it's gone past 250 pages.

Most of the other Superthreads by other DIS'ers have not reached that 250-page limit yet, as far as I know, so most of them don't have to really 'pack up' and move to a new home and make the transition.

So we're in the transitional stage right now! The previous thread is still active and open for another 3 pages, and it still has tons of great information and photos that we can refer people to even after it's closed.

[ams1201]

I love the new thread. Thanks. I will keep my eyes open to all the Halloween October posts.

[iKristin]

WOW!! Thread 3 hehe Just updated the check in list with new organization and graphics!!

Hi Sherry,

You a absolutely correct that the first thread was not a Superthread. That one got the Superthreads started like the Halloween, Christmas, F! And WoC Superthreads.

It would be nice to leave the thread as is. But it can only go till 250 pages which is a lot of posts. It is a lot of work to do all that work on the threads.

The Superthreads like WoC, F! etc. are great and very helpful. The two holiday Superthreads that you started do get a lot views and posts.

No question. So it looks like I will be posting my halloween pics on this new thread.

Here is my first Halloween pic on the new thread.
