October 2012 Planning.. Anyone else?

[Goofy_Mom]

We're going!!! Love Halloween time!!! We're going for my birthday, the dates are tenitivley the 11-14. Retro rates haven't been added for October, yet. I may have to bid on my hotel.

 

[WestCoastMama]

I'm throwing my hat in the ring. My family and I are planning a trip to DLR sometime between Oct. 20-27. My daughter has that week off of school! Yay!! The plan is to look for discounts during the summer, looking to stay at DLH or GC. Wasn't planning on doing MHP but after spending some time on the Halloween thread I changed my mind. Looks like a lot of fun!

 

[WestCoastMama]

Do you know if it is any more crowded then because of Gay Days? We'll be there the 5th through the 8th, and I couldn't care less that we'll be there during Gay days except that I hate crowds!

They were saying on the Halloween thread that yes it can be more crowded.

We will be going sometime in Oct. Not sure of the exact dates yet but will def. be doing Mickey's Halloween Party too. First time for us in the fall! Yay!!

 

[MommyLove]

Just booked today! We're going the week of Oct 21st. The only other time I've been to DL in Oct was in 2003... a lot has changed! We're super psyched!!

I booked HOJO retro rate a couple of months ago and they had basically all of October on Retro Rate just checked the board again and it seems they only have 21, 22, 23, 24, 25
left which means they have been all taken or they will put more up soon - my rule is when you see it book it just in case they all go - but im coming from Aust so we plan many months in advance

We are in. I am torn on the halloween party though...

Is it really worth $60 a piece for me, wife, a 3yr old and a 1yr old? What are your thoughts???

We are doing 4-day hoppers, so I think we can still get plenty of Disney time in without going to the party.

We got the retro rate as well for our 14th-19th. I think we booked in March I want to say?

I can't decide either. My DS will be 2 months shy of 3 years old and since we're from the midwest I'm not sure how the late nights will go for us. I really want to go, but since it starts at 7pm CA time, that'll be 10pm our time.
But on the flip side, we'll always be there for rope drop!

naps are the only way we make it with young kids. I think the day we do the Halloween party we won't do Disney until that night, so the kids will be rested and ready to party.

We're a definite maybe. Just waiting for DH to really be back to work before I commit. I'm looking at 10/11-14 and we probably won't do MHP. Still trying to decide where we'll stay. All depends on how much our income changes.

 

[ams1201]

5 months!! Let's keep the October people on the first page. I just booked our airfare. I will get tickets next. Getting excited.

We went in 2010 and kicked ourselves since then for not doing the party. However, we went to DCA that night instead so you do have that option...but, I will tell you it was horribly crowded....huge waits. If I had a 1 and 3 year old...I don't think I would do it since at least the 3 year old is gonna get tired and cranky probably. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Oh My Gosh...this thread was started back on 09/22/2010...now that is planning time

[Girimama33]

We booked the HOJO from the 22nd - 25th. Just bought AP's to use...Hopefully the MM rumors for AP's materialize before then

Still on the fence about the Halloween Party. DD is not much of a candy eater, so I would be stuck eating it all.
Plus the extra $$ makes the decision hard. I have to decide between MNSSHP or WOC preferred dining.

Hopefully the MM rumors for AP's materialize before then

What is the rumor?

 

[DisneyMomma81]

We're in! We haven't been during Halloween Time since 2009! Got the retro rate @ HoJo's 10/22-10/25, we'll probably go with a 2 day hopper and the Halloween party, won't go to the park(s) on party day until we're allowed in with the party tickets *hopefully 4pm*

 

[Satchmo128]

We will be there! October 19 - 23!!! Celebrating DH's 35th birthday!

It is our first time back to the California parks in 5 years and we are super excited! Never been in October, though.

HI!

 

[Girimama33]

What is the rumor?

I have heard some discuss that they are going to offer AP holders MM entry on a reservation basis.
