Disneystores have very cute bags now for $2.50 Disney themed Halloween bags I mean. My store sold out already, but we hope to get more. DCA does give a small handled plastic bag, if I remember correctly.
Last year, at DCA, there were long lines for candy, I mean REALLY long lines. We skipped many of them. We finally found the best place was the walking path by Grizzly Peak, Redwood Creek Challenge Trail ? Loads of candy stations. It took us awhile to notice the candy stations were under the Mickey ghost ballooons. Sometimes the candy was sort of junky, sometimes better like Hersheys, Reeses, etc. Some cast members give one piece, some give a handful. LAter in the night, they seemed to give bigger handfuls.
