Halloween at DL

[SueTGGR]

Okay good. I asked on the blog too but didn't get a response. I really hope they have some candy corn decorations in DCA. I really love that kind of stuff and I've never seen Candy Corn Acres before.

Amy, I was there last Oct and they had all kinds of plants growing candy corn versions of vegetables in Sunshine Plaza. What they do is use a lot of the space around the water play area (in Bug's Land) and make it a farm, as well.

Come on info!

There are quite a few photos of those candy corn plants (and everything else) in this very thread!

Basically, just for anyone who hasn't seen it - Candy Corn acres is not that exciting in and of itself. As I said earlier, you really just have the giant Candy Corn with the bite taken out of it by Heimlich, and Heimlich appears and disappears intermittently. Then you have the different candy corn 'plants' and those are cute. And there is some candy corn in the trees. But it's not like there is a whole huge area you can wander around in with endless candy corn. It's a limited area. It's mainly supposed to be the big Halloween landmark for DCA, just like at Christmas there would be a tree, and in DL during HalloweenTime, there is the Mickey pumpkin. Sometimes - but not always - there might be characters posing in front of the giant Candy Corn, like Chip, Dale, Goofy, Mickey, etc. Sometimes there is just a PhotoPass person and no characters.

But without the giant Candy Corn in DCA, then there is nothing left to indicate that it's Halloween in that park. So I think even if they had to move it to another spot in DCA, they would probably still have it or else they have no traces of Halloween in DCA at all.

And if possible, where I can find the different characters in costume they keep talking about. I would love to get a picture with Mickey! And Stitch of course, if he happens to be out, but not sure about him.

Last year Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and I think Donald were all right on Main Street in costume. Mickey and Minnie were also doing photo ops over by TOT at DCA. Of course, things could be different this year, but that's where I saw them last year.

I have to admit, I think the characters at HalloweenTime are what I'm most excited for ...

Off topic but Mommy2PrincessAbby- every time I come back to this board because I am planning a trip, you are planning one for the same time- great minds think alike! I went in May of 08 and May of 09 and we're planning a Halloween trip this year too LOL

LOL!! That is too funny, I remember you too!!! Cute pics in your siggy!

Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Pluto were out during the day on Main Street, mostly at Town Square - Mad Hatter and Firehouse. Someone also reported seeing Chip and Dale in costume, but we never saw them costumed while we were there.

Pluto's costume is really easy to overlook, it's just a violet collar. We were guessing they tried to make him look like a vampire?

During the Halloween party Mickey and Minnie were at TOT, that's right (and will change this year with the move to DLR). They were wearing the same costumes, just bright orange instead of the violet/maroon toned outfit of the day.

Those were the only characters we saw out in costume. At Candy Corn acres they all were wearing farmers' attire, does that count as costumes too?

I'm hoping that this year maybe they add Winnie the Pooh and friends or something.

We saw Stitch out only once, but that was on Sunshine Plaza and without costume.

off to the Disney Store - I need a disney fix and since DL doesn't want to give us any information about Halloween I guess I will go shopping.

This year they sure are being tighter with info...Last year it wasn't nearly this long. I already had the park hours and everything by now!!

Ditto, we are all waiting for the info and I'm still waiting for the Oct park hours and schedule.

OK, I know this is completely off-topic, but every time I saw the pictures on your signature, for some reason I thought you had THREE sets of twins!

Your boys are adorable and I love the tradition of the chair photo - it will be awesome to continue and get that picture when they are 18.

I dislike you Disneyland...HALLOWASNT!!!

had a blast at the mall and the Disney store each kid got their halloween customes. Kate decided to be Bell and lucky for us she fell in love with the nightly. Keith really liked the Buzz jammies. Halloween party then right to bed Jeff and I both found Jack and Sally t-shirts to wear.

Hello all! I haven't been on this thread for a while. I've been reading the super "disney at christmas" thread. Anyway, I went to DL yesterday for DD(15)'s birthday. We go every year and sometimes there are a few places that are decorated for Halloween. In the past, I have found an out of a way window already decked out for Halloween. I didn't find very much this year, but was able to find a few planters ready for the fall here and there. Here are some pics:

Most of the flowers that were recently replanted were in yellow and orange Chrysanthemums like this at the Dumbo ride:

I was able to find Halloween pins. These were at pagoda-type pin wagon near the Paradise Pier in DCA.

Well there isn't much for the fall, but I thought I would post what I found.

Thank you for posting those pics! I really want that Tinkerbell Halloween pin.
