ok, so i noticed there are two threads for the Halloween party...
which should i be posting on??
Hi, candygirlIRE - There is only one thread specifically about the party - and that is this one. It's confusing - I know.

This kind of thread confusion is exactly what happened last year with World of Color - there were way too many threads on WoC and, thus, no one knew exactly where to post so they kept creating new threads. Soon, it was like we had a whole page (and more) of this forum devoted to World of Color and no other threads were being seen!
So to sort of minimize (albeit not eliminate them completely but just cut down) the number of threads that pop up about Halloween and Christmas and make it easy to figure out where to go to get information I created two Superthreads - one for Halloween and one for Christmas. Those Superthreads are the threads that are located in the main Info sticky at the top of the forum's first page, year-round, for anyone planning Halloween or Christmas trips. That way, those threads are always easy to find because they don't move, and they have lots of information in them on the first page about the seasons, along with Tables of Contents for photos, links to holiday-specific blogs and Trip Reports, press releases, seasonal food information, etc. There is some info in them that is date-specific, which I will swap out when we get new information for the new season.
In the Halloween at DLR Superthread, we discuss anything and everything pertaining to the Halloween season at DLR - we cover "breaking news" about the season, which could include news about the party too but it is not a party-specific thread. It's about the whole Halloween Time season at DLR in general, from decorations to ride overlays to merchandise to the Happiest Haunts tour to seasonal treats, etc. Lots of great DIS'ers have posted questions, answers and pictures in that thread.
As Sherri (TheColtonsMom) said earlier, this Party thread (managed by Liza/funatdisney) is technically a check-in thread for the party only. When the dates come out for the party, people will post them here and say which costume they are wearing in case any other party goers want to meet up.
The "October" thread is a Check-In thread like all the Check-In threads for other months (even though it does not say Check-In in the title) and that's for people to give their trip dates and where they are staying to Liza/funatdisney in case anyone wants to have a meet-up.
Both this Party Check-In thread and the October Check-In thread are located in the Meet sticky at the top of the page and will be removed when 2011 is over. The Halloween at DLR Superthread will remain in the Info/Planning Sticky year-round and will be updated/revised when the info for each Halloween season comes out.
