Halloween at DL

[Sherry E]

Sherry I'll help with any Halloween stuff you need for the content page

Do you want to do the Q&A page? I'm thinking the first post of the new thread can be the Welcome post, blah blah (with a link to the original super thread), and then the Table of Contents will be the second post (or maybe I'll put it in the first post - haven't decided yet).

And maybe the third post can be a Q&A - with the most commonly asked HalloweenTime questions and answers. You'd be great for that - you know as much about the season as anyone - probably more - and you could type out any questions that come up again and again, with the answers, of course. I mean, it won't eliminate all the questions we get, but it would be great to have it for quick reference, I think.

Sure I'll do that In a bit I'll start from page 1 and look through and copy any questions and then go through them

 

[Belle Ella]

ooh, can I make some graphics? Even somehting as simple as word headers (kind of like the ones I have in September Check In)?

 

[Sherry E]

Well, hmmm...

Okay, let's see. I can start the new thread with a Welcome post - when it's time to start it (which will be very soon).

Jazz, do you want to do the Table of Contents post and then Kristin can do the Q&A post? Or Kristin, what do you think? What are your thoughts?

We'd have to have the first 3 posts of the thread - just to make the info easy to find for quick reference - before we start in with the regular discussion and photos and all that.

I don't want anyone to have to do too much work if it's a pain in the behind. I know everyone has jobs and school and lives and important things happening!!

 

[where's_my_prince]

i just printed out that list so i can take it with me on my Trip

 

[Sherry E]

Oh, okay, graphics! But where would they go?

 

[Belle Ella]

If I do it before I leave I'll be OK. I can be all over a TOC. Sounds like fun.

Just like headers, or anything anyone would like. I just love adding stuff, lol. Like a Table of Contents in my Waltograph font or a couple of cute Halloween-glitter Disney animations. I love making those.

Oh boy!!

How exciting! We have our very first on-the-scene Halloween photo!!! As many times as I have seen that giant Mickey pumpkin, I'm sooooooooo happy to see it again! I feel like he is an old friend!!

Yay!!

Thank you, VictoriaAndMatt! I can't wait to see more pictures - live from DLR!!

ETA: I love that the flower bed in that photo (lower right corner) has complementary Fall colors!!

OK, this is going to be fun seeing all the decorations!

Oh, okay! You can put graphics on a ToC page!!

Okay, so you, Kristin and I have to secure the first 3 spots in the new thread just to get that info at the top of the page.

If you guys change your minds, that's perfectly fine - just make sure to let me know before I start the new thread!

No problem How many pages will this one go to? Total blonde moment.

250 pages. I will start the new one before we hit the 250 mark, so it won't be much longer. We have to make sure we are all online at the same time just to nab those 3 spots - even if there is nothing to put in the spots yet!!

Wells, hopefully I wont on vacation at the time!! Just post a random "DO NOT POST HERE" thread you can change the title too when we all save our spots, lol.

 

[iKristin]

We should just go ahead and make it then lock it lol

 

[Belle Ella]

I suppose we could have let my original TR go on a little longer. But I liked the 3,000 post thing.

 

[Sherry E]

Jazz, we'll definitely start Part 2 way before you leave. So you'll be able to secure your spot. I'm thinking within the next day or two, at most.

Let's wait until tomorrow and see what kind of page number we are at, and then if we get us all here at the same time we can make the mad dash over to the new one to nab our places. And then I can lock this one. We still have a little ways to go in this thread, a little more mileage, but it will go very quickly because now there is actual Halloween activity happening and everyone knows to come here for info and photos. Hopefully, as soon as Part 2 starts, it will be no trouble to get people to transition over there and post photos!!

 

[Belle Ella]

Halloween Time!!!

 

[dreams91]

bring on the pictures!!! sooooo excited! we haven't done halloween at DL since late 1990's...sounds like it has changed so much since then! then all i can remember they had was the haunted mansion overlay!

This sounds like it's a better question for the folks who attend the party every year, and we have many of those in this thread.

Kristin, Vala, funatdisney - can you guys help RweTHEREyet? Can anyone else who goes to the party every year convince RweTHEREyet why buying a ticket to the Halloween party is a good idea?

Sorry I couldn't get to this earlier. I was off line since (literally) my last post. DH (the super duper whiz on computers) fixed the problem in between his meetings and the Back to School Night event tonight.

I think if you are a Disney fan and enjoy going to the parks, then you should attend MHP at least once. Especially this year, since it is at DL. Who knows if it will continue there or move over to DCA. The park does have a different feel when folks are trick or treating even at DCA. It doesn't matter if you have kids or not, dressed or not or like candy or not. You should attend it once. I enjoy it for it's own sake and LOVE that I can trick or treat again. I don't even care about the candy. I just so enjoy the act of trick or treating. My kids will soon stop trick or treating (I figure I have two or three years left) and I will miss trick or treating with them. For instance, my DD(15) doesn't want to trick or treat at home, but will at the MHP. The MHP will soon be the only place I can trick or treat in the near future. When you trick or treat at the MHP, it feels like an old fashion trick or treating experince in your neighborhood. Also, the characters will be dressed up in their Halloween costumes, which you don't see very often. I like noticing what costumes each of the characters will dress up in. It makes you feel like they are joining the fun, too.

Now it is not like MNSSHP (I've gone once) other than the trick or treating. The Parade (AWESOME!!!) and the stage show are not offered at DLR. We now have the Halloween Screams fireworks for the MHP. So there is that. If you decide to go, try to go without a lot of expectations. You will enjoy it more.

I vote: GO!

Okay, we are back at the hotel. We got to see WOC at the exclusive AP showing tonight, and now my feet hurt and I'm exhausted. I was going to post all the pics I took tonight, but it's taking forever on this slow internet. So, I will leave it to upload while I go to bed, and I will post them in the morning... oh btw there is 99 of them... lol Do you want them all? It's mostly Main Street, all the Halloween merchandise I saw, and Jack Skellington stuff. Oh and Cruella was out posing for pics.
