HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread- 9/14-10/31; Mickey's Halloween Party starts 9/28!

[kim3339]

I am guessing that some of the Fridays are less expensive because DLR must have assessed which nights of last year's party drew in the fewest guests. Whichever nights were the busiest, they would probably charge more ($64) for the equivalent nights this year. Whichever nights were the least busy, they would charge less ($54) for those nights (or the nights closest to those 2011 dates) this year.

I'm just guessing at the reasoning for it, but it makes a little bit of sense.

Unless someone knows about this over in Kristin's check-In thread for the MHP, I have a hunch we might find that out about the combo tour/party tickets when the MHP tickets go on sale to the general public (July 16). Just a guess. Either that or maybe there will be an upcoming Halloween Time press release with info about the whole season which will include the combo tour/party info.

Thanks Sherry!

Yw glade to help. Ya we are going this year instead of doing F deserts (we had perfect seats last time just showing up early. So we deiced the parade rides and not missing any party hours makes the tour+party combo works for us and its a good bday gift for my son.

 

[motor58]

finally!

Does anyone know if disney visa cardholders will get a discount?

 

[monkey30]

I have no idea if we are going to go, one party the whole time we are there.

I have a AP voucher, so i think I would have to call in. DH said he would prefer to just ignore it. No clue what to do.

 

[iKristin]

For the tickets I always order mine online and they get mailed to me so I have the physical ticket They always say Mickey's Halloween Party" and then the date on them

 

[pasofan]

I have looked at the 2011 info from this thread and cannot see the prices for the Disney Visa tickets. Is it usually the same as AP advance discount, regular advance discount or somewhere in between?

I probably looked right over it, but my disappointment is clouding my vision right now I had hoped for a party on the 16th, but it is on Monday the 15th. We arrive Tuesday morning and cannot come earlier as we are already missing one day of school for DH and both DDs. Now, the only option during our stay is the Friday party, which is more expensive and more crowded, and we'll have to add a day to our parkhoppers, so more money there, too.

I know it will all be OK, but they really threw a kink in my plans

Sorry to hear it, pasofan. But you don't need to add a day to your parkhoppers if you don't want to. The party ticket itself will get you into the parks 3 hours before the party (so 4pm for a 7pm party). I'd probably still choose to get another PH day, to be able to go in the morning. But you have a choice.

Agreed, you can always rent a car that morning if you don't have one and go check out Hollywood or some other local site

 

[JadeDarkstar]

i was going to say don't upgrade just use the party ticket to get in at 4pm but its up to you guys. good luck

They're $64 no matter when you buy them...unfortunately for me too!

 

[canadian_ehngel]

I'm incredibly disappointed, too. I was really hoping for the October 16 party, but it's on a Monday instead. Does anyone know why? Ugh. How frustrating and disappointing.

 

[Here4mydisneyfix]

hmmm....for those who have attended in previous years, would you say it is better to go to the party on a Friday night or Tuesday night?? We prefer smaller crowds. Does it make a difference as far as crowds at the party on Friday or Tuesday?? Thx!!

The discounts for Disney Visa and Disney Vacation Club people should be exactly the same as the AP discounts, but no one knows with 100% certainty yet. We are assuming that Disney Visa and DVC people are getting the discounts too this year - the MHP site seems to only acknowledge the AP holders!

Too funny! I put the link to the official MHP page on the Disneyland website on Page 1, Post #1 of this thread today - right near the top. That's the one that should be referred to for any questions right now.

I then started to update Liza/funatdisney's post (which you quoted above) with info for this year, and it was buried on Page 2 of this thread. I was trying to update it using the same basic format Liza had put together last year, so as not to totally change things around in the event she comes back to this thread and wants to work on that post herself. I didn't have time to finish it, and I figured, "Oh well - everyone is going to the MHP page on the Disneyland site anyway. No one is looking at Liza's post from last year right now. I'll get back to it later."

And sure enough, that's exactly the post you went to and pulled up! Sorry for the confusion.

I have a link to the official MHP page on the Disneyland website in Post #1, Page 1 of this thread, right near the top. I never expected anyone would go straight to Liza/funatdisney's post on Page 2 of this thread for info! I haven't finished updating her post yet, and I'm not sure if she will have time to get here and rework it herself (she has been very busy).

Personally, I haven't seen a format for the dates and prices of the MHP that I like thus far, in any year - either on the DLR website or anywhere else. It's because there are too many different prices involved, and it's confusing no matter how you slice it! But yes, the tables/column format is probably the lesser of several evils!

I'm incredibly disappointed, too. I was really hoping for the October 16 party, but it's on a Monday instead. Does anyone know why? Ugh. How frustrating and disappointing.

I was saying earlier today that the 10/15 party probably means that there is a private event in Disneyland on 10/16 - like a party for a certain corporation or something. That's what happened last year. There was a party on Monday, 10/3 instead of Tuesday, 10/4 because there was a private event on 10/4.

Fridays will always be busier than Mondays and Tuesdays, I think. However, last year I went to the MHP on a Monday and I didn't really view it as being uncrowded. It looked like it could have been a Friday or Saturday night, in my opinion! So I have a feeling that Tuesday nights may be more popular than they used to be, but there may not be as many people there as on a Friday.

 

[Sherry E]

Okay, I changed the Date & Pricing info in Post #2 (Liza/funatdisney's post about the party) to make it a little clearer than it was earlier today! It's a date by date breakdown so it should be pretty straightforward!

As we find out more info, it can be added in!
