Halloween at DL

[iKristin]

I wonder when the Halloween site will launch if it does. HOPEFULLY!!! I was so excited because as of tomorrow morning (the first) I can officially say "I'm going to Disneyland next month!!!"

You sound like me...I told my hubby that tomorrow will be 1 month...lol.

Oh, and there's the Day of the Dead display in Frontierland, as well as the Ray Bradbury Halloween tree (which is rather inconspicuous in the daytime). That's about it. They never really go all out with the Halloween stuff like they do with the holiday decorations at Christmastime.

Sherry, what is the Ray Bradbury Halloween tree and where can I find it? I am a lover of Ray Bradbury's work and this is a fantastic surprise for me to look for this trip!!!!

Yay!! Calling tomorrow to book the Happy Haunts Tour for October 2.
27 days til our trip!
Gotta get the kids to commit to a Halloween costume

 

[Sydneymum]

Hey Joeysmommy...you must be there the same time as us. We fly out from Sydney Australia on the 29th and have tickets for MHP on the 1st October. You guys are soooo lucky to have Disneyland at your doorstep. Our kids are 15 and 12 and this is their first time and probably last as it is sooo expensive to come all the way from downunder. We plan to enjoy every second and certainly take none of it for granted. Waiting too on any new schedules or update for Halloween; Counting down!!!!

This is the Ray Bradbury Halloween tree, in Frontierland (it looks a bit more Halloweenishly illuminated at night)...

Today I can officially say I am going THIS MONTH! I hope they release the Halloween site, and before I leave would be great... lol

And what you just described (in terms of decorations alone - not counting overlays) is really not too different from what HalloweenTime is today - except for now they have the giant Mickey pumpkin, and until this year, apparently, they had the giant candy corn and Candy Corn Acres over in DCA. They may have added in a few more pumpkins on Main Street than when you were there, but that's pretty much it.

I went a bunch during Fall of 2006 but I had a premium AP and lived near the park. I rarely took my camera though so I have very few pictures. I hope to take tons this time! I'd like to get pictures of Halloween merch displays, Halloween treats, and everything.

We usually take about 1000+ pictures, plus some short videos that we put together in a montage for every trip, so we'll come back with tons of pictures to share after the 4th.

bumping.... this almost fell off the front page!


Hey!!! I just noticed I broke 1000 posts!!! lol

 

[BELLEDOZER]

I did too today, so we are finally members of the triple number club!! Nice to see someone else do it on the same day. Have a great evening!

I was just looking at Stardance's thread. She just came back from DL and posted some photos. The big Mickey head pumpkin is out as are the orange buntings on the buildings. She also had a pic of Jack and Sally characters in the park. Partners statues has mums and pumpkins around as well.


False alarm, Sorry! just noticed the first post date was July 2009. RATS!!!! Great pics to get you in the mood.

Well there's 15 days until Halloween Time starts at DL, and there's still no mini-site up or any other sort of information.

I hate to say it, but with such little time left until it all starts, I think we've got all the information they feel like giving us.

Maybe they will release a little more once it actually starts. But by then we will have info from other DISers.

Looks like our little boogie man didn't do that great a job this season! Lol.

Boo! Well, I knew they always did the mini-site last, after every other bit of info was released, but I'm trying to remember how late it was up. I don't think it was quite this late in the game, though.

If I recall correctly, last year, the year before that and in 2007, I think an e-mail came from Disney Destinations or some other Disney branch, and it had a mention in it about HalloweenTime. I clicked on it and it took me to the Halloween mini-site of the DLR website.

So far...no e-mails like that.

So either DLR is just painfully behind on everything (based on what they have done previous years), or they are choosing to wait until the last minute for everything, OR they are not making as big a splash about HalloweenTime this year because it seems to be a slightly scaled down season, and thus, no reason for an elaborate mini-site.

I'm guessing no mini-site. Lame.

Oh well. I'm going to hope that the lack of attention on Halloween will keep crowds nice and low while we're there.

I am hoping the same thing!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I am hoping the same thing!

I was thinking that too!

Only 26 more days until I leave!!

 

[PrincessMaleficent]

I can't wait for people to start coming back with TR and pictures. I am getting so excited!

Just got off the phone with Disney and made all our reservations

It looks like Tuesday we are going to enjoy brunch with Goofy. Wednesday we are going to be Surfing with Mickey and Thursday enjoying Minnie and all her friends.

I added Minnie and Friends for me: I love the characters there and plus I have spent the past two weeks potty training DS so we don't have to buy diapers anymore one less thing to pack. But now I have to back his little potty seat or he thinks he will fall in (lol) and be sent to the ocean with Nemo.
