My birthday is tomorrow. Well where I live its tomorrow the 2nd. Keeping my fingers, toes, legs and anything else I can cross that we will get some Halloween info. Come on Disney we are still waiting patiently..........

Happy birthday, mom4princesses!!

Sooo.... While we wait for Halloween details, tell me a little about merchandising please. I have seen the pics and definitely want a mickey pumpkin mug. Do they have any other special items that are sold only during the Halloween Party? WDW has T-shirts and pins that are exclusive. Any music collectors out there? I have most of WDW show/park music. Looking forward to adding Disneyland music. I have been listening to the WDW Halloween cd that has the Boo to You parade and Villian's Mix and Mingle to get into the spirit. My other passion is scrapbooking. Do they have a special scrapbook and kit pages just for Halloween or do I need to go the Joann's, Micheals and Hobby Lobby route? At WDW when you can have items shipped to your home you don't pay sales tax. Can I do this at DL? If it gets to be too much, I will have to note sku numbers and order after I get home.

I don't know what happened at the party last year, but in 2008 there were definitely some party-exclusive items, like t-shirts and pins. As for scrapbooking supplies, I'm not sure.

We used to have a great Dept. 56 store in Downtown Disney that sold those great Halloween and Christmas villages (some of which you can find at Michael's) but, sadly, Dept. 56 left DTD at either the end of 2008 or the very start of 2009 (can't recall). I loved that store - and I think it fit so well on Disney property too.

You can definitely have items shipped back to your home from DLR. I would imagine there has to be a shipping fee, but not sure what it is, and I have no clue about not charging tax if you ship? I have never heard of that!


Hopefully someone on here has had things shipped from DLR and can help!

Thank you Sherry E. Come on Halloween Info.... We need to plan our days and need more information. I can start making my PS in 8 days..... I want more, more, more Halloween information. Come on creepy dancing guy you can do it.

Woo Hoo, MIL is joining us! That means that DH & I can go on Space Mtn (the Halloween version)and other rides with each other. DS doesn't like them at all. We typically have to pay for Pinocchio's Workshop to do that.

Awesome!

From MousePlanets update today:

Disney clarifies Halloween Party details

I wrote in last week's Disneyland Resort Update about the confusing information Disney has published about this year's Halloween Party, with different pages of the official Disneyland site providing different—and in some cases contradictory—information about such basic issues about when the event tickets are valid and what type of entertainment will be offered.

MousePlanet asked Disney to clarify some of these issues and answer questions posed by readers. Disneyland Resort spokesperson Betsy Sanchez responded to our request, and confirmed that the event information posted in last week's Update was correct. To recap:

Admission: Guests who have purchased a Halloween Party ticket can enter Disneyland before the official start of the party. On Tuesdays when the party starts at 6:00pm, guests with valid party tickets can enter Disneyland starting at 3:00pm. On Fridays and Halloween, when the party starts at 7:00pm, guests with valid party tickets can enter Disneyland starting at 4:00pm.

Sanchez said that Disneyland will not allow guests without a ticket to the Halloween Party event to remain in the park after it officially closes to the public.

Costumes: For Mickey's Halloween Party, adults with valid event tickets may enter Disneyland in costume at 3:00 pm on Tuesdays, or at 4:00 pm on Fridays and Halloween. If you're spending the day at Disneyland and also hold a valid ticket to that night's event, you'll have to wait until 3:00 or 4:00 to don your costume.

Entertainment: Halloween Screams fireworks are "exclusive" to Mickey's Halloween Party, and Disney will only present the show on event nights. On Saturday and Sunday nights (excepting Halloween, when there is a Halloween Party event), Disneyland will present the Remember... Dreams Come True fireworks show.

Well I am glad they confirmed what they've already confirmed at least twice, lol.

 

[Belle Ella]

The fireworks was the information I was really waiting on. I didn't think we had heard which show it would be for non-MHP guests and if it was only going to be a Sat/Sun thing. They obciously can't do Friday in October because it's an MHP night, but is it still going to strictly be Sat/Sun in September as well? That's what I'm curious about because it kind of dictates which day I want to do the Fantasmic! dessert thing and which day I do the WOC dining.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

I think Sherry or someone posted last week what show was going to play. Or maybe that was just a rumour they posted, but I thought it was a confirmation. And I think it mentioned that the show was just going to be Saturday and Sunday nights, other than actual Halloween night of course.

 

[Belle Ella]

Well, it's news for me seeing as I wasn't really around much the past week, lol!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Haha, true!

I haven't been following this thread everyday like I did when we thought the HalloweenTime info would come out on July 16th. However, I'm soooo excited to see that they're gonna be playing WoC everyday into the off-season and that they WON'T be letting non-ticketholders into the park after it closes for the party. Woohoo! That's really all I care about as long as things in October stay the same as they are for September.

We've gone to DLR the last two Octobers. Each trip included one night where the Halloween party was taking place at CA, and we have gone for both of them. We're going to DLR this year again, but probably won't be attending the party. I'm concerned DCA will be packed the night of the party, especially WOC. Does anyone know how busy DL has been the last few years on pary nights (when the party was at DCA)? Has Fantasmic been overflowing? We love the party, but $44 each (AP discount) for 4 people is quite the increase over last year's $32pp.

I would think that pre-halloween party nights they'll show RDCT on Fridays as well.
