Halloween at DL

[JH87]

When I was there last year from October 18th til the 25th it was nice

October 18th through the 20th it was in the high 70's
October 21st and 22nd it was 85 to 86
October 23rd it was 91
October 24th and 25th was low 80's.

It was NEVER too hot or to chilly at night It was perfect the whole trip

yay! exact days i am going this year! i hope its this way when i go!
i know summer at DLR has been on the cooler side this year...maybe they are expecting a warmer fall then? (crosses fingers!)
I think I am one of the few people who enjoys very warm weather!
Thanks for sharing the info!

85, 86 and 91 degrees would have been way too hot for me, Kristin!!! Everything past October 18th would have been too hot for me!!

A lot of how heat is 'felt' depends on the person - who is sensitive to heat and who isn't. It could be that some people don't find 85 degrees to be warm, while others of us think it feels like an oven. There isn't really one rule that applies to everyone because we all feel things differently. What's cold to one person is probably not going to be cold to me. I need it to drop down to 40 degrees before I really start considering putting on a coat!!

We have been definitely having some hot days in SoCal. But, again, what's hot to me may not be hot to you. As I said earlier this morning, this has been considered a mild summer overall, meaning the temps are lower that what would be expected for July-August. But we have most certainly had plenty of days in the 80's so far - and to a lot of folks, that's quite warm. This is one day today that is in the upper 80's. I've never felt 'cool' at all this summer, but I can still tell that the temps are lower than they normally are in the middle of August.

Here in So Cal we've had a freakishly cool summer. So I am anxious to see what the fall will bring. Today is the first hot day we've had. Everyone I know is at the beach.

EEEP! That's still a while to wait. Thanks for getting that info though, so I don't have to keep checking the site every day, several times a day!

I'll take a seat by you. I live in Utah (was raised in Alabama), and I love going to visit the in-laws in Southern California during the fall and winter. It gives me a few days to warm-up before I have to trudge through the snow again. Here's to hoping for warm weather in October.

I just saw a segment on the local news about Universal Studios Hollywood holding their auditions for Halloween Horror Nights today, which is another sign that people are preparing for Halloween!

It's so funny. The Disneyland version of Halloween is vastly different - like a polar opposite - of the USH version of Halloween. Two totally different experiences. If you want to pose by a giant Mickey pumpkin, eat muffins with Mickey pumpkin heads stuck in them, attend a nice Halloween party, see some fireworks, get some candy and take photos with Mickey and Minnie in their Halloween finery, go to DLR.

If you want to be chased by a chainsaw-wielding maniac or have menacing, blood-dripping axe murderers jump out at you from the darkest of shadows and then chase you until you scream for your life, go to Universal!!

I've never done Halloween at Universal but I did the Halloween stuff at Knott's twice and had a blast. I screamed a LOT! It was fun.

Never too hot?! That is pretty much ALL too hot to me. 90's? Yuck. Miserable.

I am uncomfortably hot is pretty much anything over 70-73 (real feel/heat index.)

I am way happier in freezing cold than I am in warm/hot temps.

Booked our room last night since Fall discounts are out for DL hotels.

CM asked if we wanted to prepurchase any character meals and I told her I couldn't plan anything yet since park hours are not out yet.

Can anyone tell me about the AP holders package? This was something else she suggested to us. What's included and is it worth it?

Thanks

I really hope the "mild" (in comparison) summer does not mean and insanely hot Fall (which could happen - sometimes September and October can be hotter than the summer months) because it's so warm inside DL as it is. Bring on the Fall!

Ah yes... the lovely Santa Anna winds. I dread them. Right now it is very hot here in the small beach community I live in. It has a been very cool summer. I am just not used to heat.

 

[funatdisney]

No we went to some event they had around the first part of April this year. We just about died, what a dream to be able to stay there. I am sure we won't ever be able to get in there. We only have 100 points for VGC and we keep using them up. We have more points than that but just not any more at the villas. But it is beautiful, isn't it? If we weren't so broke we would have added on just so we could stay there with all of DH's family. Too many on my side.

Gorgeous and beautiful for sure. I so love staying in a one bedroom. The Grand Californian is my favorite hotel and so buying points there made sense to me. I bought 160 point and I still don't think it will be enough. It will just have to work. Can't afford anymore.

 

[disneymum58]

We will be there in October staying at the DH and I just bought an AP. I'm also curious what the CM meant by the AP holders package?

I am not used to heat either...and I live in the desert...lol. I just stay inside for 6 months out of the year.

 

[iKristin]

I guess because I spent 2006 to 2008 living in Oklahoma 90 isn't hot to me lol, I'm used to it.

And in front a fan. We live close to the beach and our days are very nice and cool. Except when the Santa Ana winds hit in September and October. (That is why it is so hot during these months and then it will gets cool again, then hot. The desert winds will hit for a few days to a week at a time.) We have no central air, because there is no need for it for most of the year. I am just dying when they hit. So my fan becomes my best friend.

Booked my Goofys Kitchen res on Monday. So excited for PB & J pizza!

Isn't the DL calender supposed to be out 6 weeks from todays date? Or did I totally make that up?

 

[iKristin]

I keep forgetting...how far ahead can you make dining reservations??

60 days out. 30 for WOC special seating dining reservations and Fantasmic dessert seating.

I can finally start the week after next!

 

[Belle Ella]

Man, I freeze in anything below like ... 75. Mid 80's are comfortable for me and the 90's + are my ideal days! I'm the strange one hoping for a very warm late September/early October. :rotlf:

Thought we could use a little Halloween magic:
