Baked zucchini bread today. I always bake zucchini bread for our trip to DLR in Oct. I will freeze some and bring it with us for a quick and easy breakfast before we hit the parks. I am starting to prepare my meal plans so I won't make these dishes before we go. That way the food I cook won't be the same old boring thing.

What an awesome idea! I think I may steal it

Please do! Glad I could offer something valuable to someone!

Very funny - we always bake banana bread to bring on the trip for the same reason! And I also do the same thing as far as meals - don't want to have just made at home something I know we'll have t DL!

Hubby and I will be there Oct 27 - Nov 1 and are trying to decide if we should by tickets for this or not. We're not going in costume, grand kids won't be with us, and hoping we'll be able to see the fireworks from outside the park. If its mostly trick-or-treating, seeing how to carve pumpkins, etc I'm not sure the expense is warranted.

I've read through some of the posts, but being that we're "older" we need to decide if the Halloween Party is really going to be worth it. We already have to balance seeing Fantasmic & Dreams Do Come True Firework show on Oct 30 ... schedule shows both of these are only on Saturday night

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It may be worth it for the short lines... we did it in 2007, and loved how all the lines were basically walk ons...

I'm not sure its even going to be an issue. I just checked the Disney site and tickets that you can purchase now, do not cover any days that we'll be there. We would have to buy it the day of ... either the 29th or 31st

very unrelated from Halloween - but I got a puppy for my birthday. So know I have to figure out where he is going when we go on vacation.

Find a friend or family member that already has a dog? That's what we always do with our dog, we take him to my grandmas house since she has a dog and they're both really good together.

Be very careful if you have to put the puppy in a kennel. Especially if the pup hasn't had it's full series of shots. We always get someone we know locally to watch the dogs for us but a puppy...make sure they plan on being there a lot, if you go the housesitter way.

I am getting so antsy about going. We will only be able to spend about 24 hours there so I want to be able to squeeze in as much as possible!

Here's another from last year!

At least 24 hours is better than no hours, right?

I'm so excited! We're so-so-so-so close to the start of Halloweentime 2010!

We found a great boarding place for our dog while we're gone. She actually seems to love it there! (We didn't get her until she was 1 and a half years old though so I'm not sure how things go with kenneling a puppy.)

So, to those who have been on the Space Mountain Halloween overlay - Is there music? Or just sound effects?

Those pumpkin photos are great! Can't wait to see all of them!

(My countdown is in the teens now! YAY!)

+1!

I work with dogs and do dogsitting; someone to stay the night with the pup is definitely the way to go. If I were you, I wouldn't even think of putting him/her in a kennel. My moms 3 year old German Shepherd is fully vaccinated but still comes home with some new problem whenever they board her. Usually, having someone stay overnight costs just about the same as a kennel anyways.

I see the site showing you can purchase for 10/29 or 10/31 right now? Did you try to purchase and encounter a glitch?

Unfortunately it's $59.00 (no discount), but in this economy that means that maybe they won't sell out.

I went to http://disneyland.disney.go.com/special-offers/mickeys-halloween-party/ and clicked on "Buy."

If you can swing it, I'd add them on, but I also adore wearing costumes. Costumes and (hopefully) reduced crowds are my primary motivations, with fireworks, character meet-and-greets, and candy being secondary motivations. Plus, I'm lucky in that as a single adult, I only need to pay for tickets for one person (me!).

If you're only interested in a couple of the perks, then it may not be at all worth it for you.

Wow, if I were your mom, I would find a new kennel. We love ours. Our dog has been there many times over the past two years. She always comes home just fine. Her longest stay was 9 nights. Her upcoming stay will be 10 nights.

How much does it cost to have someone stay at your house? It's got to be more than $20 a day, right?
