WOohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So how many tickets are usually available for a halloween party? We are going on Tuesday the 5th, and i am just curious how crowded it might be, having never gone to one before.. I am so excited- can not wait!

I was wondering the same thing!

Anyone know what the capacity is at the Halloween Parties???

I've heard somewhere between 18,000 and 20,000. Which sounds like a lot, but when you think that DL gets around 60,000 on a normal day, it doesn't sound too bad at all.

THAT many!!! YIKES!!! I was hoping it was 5,000 or less.

That's just what i've heard, I am not 100% sure. It is a lot more than I was hoping for as well, but it's better than it could be!

Great pics VictoriaandMatt.

I liked all those different Halloween merchandise and I am looking forward to my trip in two weeks

 

[BELLEDOZER]

I loved your photo's VictoriaandMatt. I liked seeing all the Halloween merchandise, and can't wait till I leave in 16 days. I've been chomping at the bit to finish packing, but am trying to hold off until I see the weather forcast 5 days before I leave. Major shopping binge here I come!

New Cavalcade Coming to Mickey’s Halloween Party

Mickey’s Costume Party has been added as a fun, new exclusive experience at Mickey’s Halloween Party, the special, nighttime event at Disneyland park on Halloween night and Tuesdays and Fridays in October.

Mickey’s Costume Party is a new cavalcade featuring Disney characters and floats parading down Main Street, U.S.A. Today we’re giving you a first look at artwork for the opening of the cavalcade.
Mickey’s Costume Party Artwork
There are lots of treats in this cavalcade you won’t want to miss. Here are some highlights:

* Disney Characters will be dressed in their favorite Halloween costumes.
* There’s a purple Haunted Castle Float decorated by Mickey with bats, ghosts, spider webs, pumpkins and skulls.
* The Costume Shop Float celebrates the fun of dressing up for Halloween.

I’ve also heard that the upbeat, spooky music will have you dancing, jumping, shaking and maybe even howling along as we celebrate the magic of make-believe and spooky Halloween fun.

Tickets for Mickey’s Halloween Party are now available and can be purchased at Disneyland.com/Halloween. Here’s an insider’s tip: if you purchase tickets in advance, you’ll get a great discount on select nights. There’s also a discount for annual passholders on select nights.

How exciting and neat!!! Sounds like it might be a little closer to MNSSHP. Well a tad closer. I hope they throw candy. I always thought that was neat. I can't wait to see pictures from the cavalcade now.

VictoriaAndMatt - You rock!! Those pictures are great - and, to think, the season doesn't even officially begin until tomorrow! I can't wait to find out if you notice any extra things tomorrow that were not there today or yesterday.

Anyway, I love some of that Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, and I'm glad to see that the shirt I like is there. Plus, I really like one of those tote bags too.

I really hope they drag out some decorations for DCA tomorrow. I think there is just no excuse to not put something up somewhere.

When we start the second thread - Part 2 - and you return from the trip and get settled back in, be sure to post some of the pictures (or all of them - whatever you have time for) in the thread. We will need to start that thread off with some big doses of color!!

Thanks again for sharing your Halloween trip with us and for sharing the beginning of the season with us - as it happens, LIVE from the scene!!

The ONLY sign of Halloween I saw at DCA were some fall colored flowerbeds. However, I didn't go through the whole park observing very well, because we were just there on a mission to see WOC. I will check again today.

We were there on Mon - this is the first chance I have had to get on a computer as we are on our two-week vacation that will end with two more days at DL next week - yipee.

Anyways, just wanted to say a quick word about what we saw at DCA re: Halloween decor: basically nothing!!!

The TOT gift shop was the only place we saw even a hint of Halloween - it was fully decorated - garlands, candy corn, Jack Skellington stuff, etc (sorry, I can't upload pics where we are). But nowhere else - the whole rest of the park is devoted to WOC still - in fact, we saw a commercial for Halloween time at DLR last night that emphasized the Haunted Mansion and WOC

We are really hoping by the time we get back next week, there will be something. We were kind of bummed, even my teen boys said, where's the candy corn letters (California)? They are wrapped for WOC!

Ok, that's my quick report, lol.

PS - just took a look at VictoriaandMatts pictures and I'm so excited to see waaay more decorations at DL then were there even on Mon! Woohoo!!!

Yay!! heather on the blog replied to my question! halloween screams is planned to be at 9:30 pm on MHP nights!! With the cavalcade at 8:15 and 10:15 on Tuesday, and 8:15 and 10:30 on Fridays... they are just spread out enough that maybe people won't be camped out for both in a row...
