Halloween at DL

[srauchbauer]

also are masks allowed for adults?

they do pass out bags - but we bring our own. We use the little bags for Trick or Treats then dump the little bag into the bigger bags.

I asked for specific candy if I saw it They had no problem giving me what I asked for! I just knew I wouldn't eat the raisins

we did the same thing DD hates nuts so whenever we saw candy with nuts we asked for something else.

I always asked for the more adult candy aka candy bars never had a problem.

DH and I loved Trick or Treating at Disney, since you feel like a kid there you might as well be able to act like one every-so-often.

Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort
Check back in summer 2010 for details.

Okay Disney summer is over (well summer vacation that is) so lets get on with it. We are all waiting.

Well, I was expecting the dumb calendar to be updated through my 1st day at the parks today, and nothing... in fact really nothing added after Sept 6th... where is Aladdin on the calendar?? I really hope it will be running at least a little when I am there...

I am trying to find the picture I had of my son's haul in 2008. Any of you who have not gone before, I suggest you take a pillow case or something that will be bigger than the bag they give you. As soon as the free bag got a little heavy we dumped it into the pillowcase. I think this year I will bring a backpack as the pillow case was very heavy by the end of the night! It kept slipping out of my grip. It didn't help that my son was dressed as Darth Vader and kept using the "force" whenever he saw Dots. One station they must have thrown in 15 or so of them in a "panic" to him using the force! Got to love the cast members that work the stations those nights.
Lets keep our fingers crossed! Plus, I am STILL waiting for excursions for our January Cruise to Mexico. It is such a pain in my planning heart to not have anything to plan with.
Later,
Sue

Great photos, EnchantedPlayroom!!

SueTGGR - didn't you just have a birthday? I thought I recalled that you said in a previous post that your birthday was coming up. If so - belated Happy Birthday!!

My trick or treat bag from the TOTP in 2008 had some sort of boring Tinkerbell advertisement on it. I agree the bag can hold more than you think it can. But we didn't stop at all the treat stations though. We stopped at a good number of them and the CM's were pretty generous with what they handed out. If we had stopped at all of the stations and they kept giving that much candy, I don't think the bag could have held all of the loot. It's probably a good diea to have a back-up bag or carrying method just in case. Although, for all I know, the CM's probably give out less candy now!

I know I was a bit disappointed because I was hoping that the TOTP bag would at least have a festive Halloween photo on it - but no luck!

Ditto. At this point it's just getting silly that there are not more details out about the season. Heck, it's only 3 months until the Christmas season begins at DLR, for corn's sake! Maybe we will find out about HalloweenTime after the holidays begin on 11/12!!

"for corn's sake"

It feels that way sometimes, huh?

Sigh.

But it's not like we didn't know that waiting would be a possibility. I just didn't think it would be this long. I'm getting closer to the 30's in my countdown. . Oiy.

Yay for getting close to the 30's!!

Do they have Magic Morning Hours everyday now? The new calendar on their website is hard for me to get use to.

No, if you click the individual day it will tell if there's a magic morning that day or not.

You know where "for corn's sake" comes from? It's not something I would ever make up or use on my own, but it stuck in my head because Fred Mertz used to say it on many of the old "I Love Lucy" episodes, and I still watch those here and there when I happen to catch them on TV. I always thought it was so silly because who would think to say it?!! So ever since then, when I am purposely just trying to be dorky, I will say "For corn's sake"!!

I have never heard that before but it's hilarious and fits so well with this Halloween thread.

Ok, thanks. Got it. As I said, this new calendar is difficult for me to navigate, but I am getting it.

how funny I thought you were making a punny about candy corn.

Well I just got my Fall Disney Rewards Visa flyer in the mail today. There is a mention of Halloween Time in it with a short description. Nothing but vague references as to what will be offered.
Here is what was printed:

"Discover wicked fun for everyone during the most sprinted season of all! Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort materializes all manner of festive attractions, entertainment, food and merchandise for pirates and princesses. Be awed by the bewitching sights throughout the Disneyland Resort, while famous villains from classic Disney movies join the festivities and add a frightfully delightful twist to Halloween Time. Quake in the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, shiver through space in Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, and visit the Haunted Mansion where Jack Skellington and his creepy cohorts are dying to show you their version of holiday cheer. Get ready for screams -- of laughter -- during Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort."

This may be the only announcement that I get. I am surprised that there hasn't been an announcement before this publication for Disney Visa.

Aladdin is being moved to Yesterland. It's being replaced with a Toy Story musical. They were supposed to get rid of it earlier this summer, but extended it through Sep. So, it looks like Sept 6th will be the last run.

According to Disney (via AP email) it's on refurb in September due to the Red Car (is that what its called?) construction around the theater. Also says check back as the dates get closer since they are trying to add shows around the construction schedule if possible. Noting has been announced that it is gone for good yet...especially since Toy Story musical is now on the back burner....

 

[EnchantedPlayroom]

also are masks allowed for adults?

Not if I remember correctly. Also no swords or weapons? But that doesn't seem right, as they SELL swords and random weaponry in many of the shops. Maybe no swords in a sheath to where they couldn't tell if an adult had one if it was real or not.

Sherry: I have added reason to lurk through the Halloween thread....it gets me in the mood to plan......


WDW in October 2011!!!! We scrapped the Xmas plans since we were able to get a condo for $399/week in October instead!!!! The money we are saving by going 2 months earlier may just pay for our Xmas trip this year!!!

Okay, so let me get this straight - you're not doing HalloweenTime at DLR this year, but you are probably still doing Christmastime at DLR this year (I know there was a setback with that a couple of weeks ago)? And then your existing plan for the holiday season at WDW in 2011 has been scrapped and now it will be Halloween at WDW instead?

Well, any way you slice it, it sounds great!! YAY!!! That's a great condo price. I know that Mariezp, one of our DIS-ers on the Christmas thread, stayed offsite when she went to WDW last year for the holiday season, and she got a great price on a house for their full 14-day stay that was much cheaper than staying at a WDW hotel would have been.

They made such a fuzz about extending it past August 15 and "extending it for now", or however the wording was. I sounded very indefinite, or maybe "until we have budget for something else." I can't imagine them doing that for 3 weeks.

Wthat 3Minnies1Mickey wrote sounds likely. I just wish I'd get those AP e-mails. Somehow they never get through!

Not if I remember correctly. Also no swords or weapons? But that doesn't seem right, as they SELL swords and random weaponry in many of the shops. Maybe no swords in a sheath to where they couldn't tell if an adult had one if it was real or not.

Masks are definitely allowed for adults, as long as the eyes are visible. Like I posted above, I plan on a Mama Odie costume. And there is significant confusion if her sunglasses are an eye-covering mask. The above sentence is what the CMs I have spoken too are always quoting first.

The no weapons which resemble an actual weapon rule is for all ages. That's what is stated on my ticket. The e-ticket is saying the same about masks by the way, they are okay as long as the eyes can be seen and they do not obstruct vision.

I don't think anyone will think of confiscating one of the plastic swords they sell in Fantasyland or one of the Toy Light Sabres. Don't look real enough.

But I've seen attendees cosplaying as soldiers at the sci fi conventions I attend, and a lot of those guys do carry very realistic looking weapons. Those can easily cause panic - I saw a scared hotel employee call the police once - and that's probably what Disney wants to avoid.
