Had dinner at Cafe Orleans, were waiting to get my rewards card and AP back from our server and apparently the fire alarm was going off so they had to evacuate the restaurant. Our server came back over w/ my cards and told us he hadn't run them yet. People were told they didn't have to pay because of the evacuation! :eek: :woohoo: Nice way to save $80.00!!

That is AWESOME! I'm glad you're having a great time!
 
We are a family of 4 arriving from Oz and have tickets to MHP on 1st October.....so VERY excited, however can someone explain to me what we have to do to "trick or treat"? as we dont have Halloween downunder. Do we just walk around and collect candy or do you actually have to do something???Sorry to sound dumb........11 days to go:yay::yay::yay::yay:
 
No questions are dumb ones. With the MHP party there are trick or treat stations throughout the park, and you to each one, and they give you candy. You can say "trick or treat" just for the fun of it. I had a friend of mine in Aussieland that up until a couple of years ago turned her house into the house of "Horrors", and had all her childrens friends get candy at her place at Halloweentime. Normally for the holiday in general kids dress up and go door to door on Halloween night calling out "Trick or Treat". Our neighbourhood has alot of kids, so we can expect anywhere from 40-50 kids on Halloween night. Houses that have carved pumpkins and their porch light on is a sign that trick or treaters are welcome to stop by. The malls where I live have trick or treat events, but have found them way too crowded. Many adults will have parties as well. Hope that this explains things a bit. It's a very popular holiday here, and in the USA. Have a a great day!

All linked albums have either new pictures, or are new albums. I'm sorry I'm not replying to everyone individually. I'm trying to quickly get info out there during downtime. I am reading everyone though, and will reply when we get back. I got a sunburn on my chest yesterday. It was pretty warm. Not hot, not humid, and last night was the first night I had to put on a light jacket.
 
Thanks for keeping up updated!! Those pics of NOS crowds look just like when I was there back in august, around the same time of day also....so i guess i'm already prepared for heavy crowds when i go next month!
LOVE the character pics!!! Actually I love ALL the pics! Your family is so cute!
Have fun!

You're welcome! And thank you for the comments on my family/pictures. The crowds were still manageable, but definitely not light like they were Wednesday and Thursday. The fireworks crowds were insane. Felt like it was as packed as it was for Screams last year, only there was no Halloween screams. Some people definitely are still misinformed on the fireworks situation. I heard a guy telling another guest there was going to be a witch flying with tinkerbell and such. I think people were still hoping for Halloween fireworks.
 
VictoriaandMatt- thanks so much for the photos! I think I might have to set a budget for myself with all that cute merchandise. I want it all!

Enjoy the rest of your trip and thanks for keeping us updated. Very much appreciated.
 
I am so enjoying your pictures, VictoriaAndMatt! Thank you! :goodvibes I found a must-have for me...the lanterns with the Mickey Heads and spiderwebby look. Love them!
 
Sent husband for FP to HMH. There was only a 10 min wait he said, but we have breakfast ps at CC. We were actually 25 min early for PS, but they sat us within 5 min. There is a long line of walk ups waiting. I've told people before, PS do pay off. FP return time 10:10-11:10 AM.

BTW Alice and Mad Hatter were at the entrance to the park this morning, and Pinocchio was at the beginning of Main Street. They were all dressed normally and signing autographs. I haven't seen Pinocchio out before.

Is there a place to stake out a spot for the fireworks where you can be seated and still have a great view, even if you have to camp out early? I don't mind sitting and doing some people watching at all, especially if I don't have to sit on the cement to do so. When we waited in front of the castle last May, I almost had a "help, I've fallen and can't get up moment" after sitting on the cement curb for so long. :headache:

I think a lot of locals don't make PS - thus a lot of walk-ups. Works out great for those of us who do make PS :thumbsup2 So glad I made a few for our trip :) I'm wondering how busy the parks will be for Halloween time M-Th though :confused3 I'm thinking F-Sun will still be the busiest due to local traffic for Halloween.
 
One more question, if we go the TOT party, and if we are there earlier in the day, and if we manage to snag some Fastpasses, would we be able to use them the night of the party? At WDW, FP lines were not open during the party. Or would Fastpasses even be necessary? Not sure how many tickets they sell to the TOT party at DL or how heavy crowds are.
 
As I recall, they don't accept FP's for the Halloween Party. It's generally a smaller crowd, so the waits aren't very long. (YMMV)
