Halloween at DL

[JH87]

Man, I freeze in anything below like ... 75. Mid 80's are comfortable for me and the 90's + are my ideal days! I'm the strange one hoping for a very warm late September/early October. :rotlf:

me too


& no way there is a jack skellington character walking around!!!
I MUST find him!

I only EVER saw him and Sally there once. We go all the time and I've seen him...once.

You're one step ahead of me! I went to DLR the last 3 Halloween seasons/years in a row - and two of those years my trips were 3-4 days long - and I never once saw Jack Skelington in DL!! Not one time!! I knew from seeing photos that he and Sally were definitely out and about during HalloweenTime, and I knew where he would be, but we never saw him one time in 2007, 2008 or 2009! The whole Haunted Mansion Holiday ride is about him, and the Halloween Screams fireworks are MC'd by him, so you would think he'd be more prominent!

I bet that Jack Skellington will be out in DL a little more this year because the MHP will be there and DLR will probably want Jack and Sally to interact with guests more.

Jack and Sally have a meet and great area over in the grassy area next to the HM during HalloweenTime. I posted some pictures earlier of my daughter posing with Jack and Sally in her Jack Skellington costume.

Yep - I knew where to look for them after seeing photos on the DIS (there was a thread in which people were commenting on how the shape of Jack's head was a bit odd!), but I think it was just really bad timing on my part because they were never there any time I was in that area, 3 years in row!! I just never happened to be in that location when they were there. I think their meet & greet times must be very limited - in other words, they probably don't come out several times a day. Or if they do, I just missed them every time!

 

[VictoriaAndMatt]

Well, we purposely went looking for them
and I suppose we lucked out because they were there the first time we tried lol. We almost missed them for their break, but thankfully were the last to get to go up. We saw them a few times throughout our trip. Mostly early afternoon. I don't recall seeing them later in the evening at all.

My trip is on oct 16!!
ahhh!
come one Disney, add a few more days to the calendar!
& i wish they would include WOC times, parades, etc.
more waiting.....

 

[srauchbauer]

seeing Jack was pure luck I was turning around to ask a CM a question and bang there he was - I yelled at Jeff to quick take his picture. The poor CM probably still can't hear

 

[iKristin]

I can almost make my reservations for Blue Bayou!!

 

[Bert Chimneysweep]

we aren't making it to California this year from the UK for halloween as we had our honeymoon LA in March but we have just started to plan to make it next year

so this thread is a great help

 

[gkrykewy]

Hmmm... I have a Blue Bayou reservation for 6:50 on Thursday September 30, when I see the park closes at 8. Will they be rushing us out the door? Should I switch to an earlier time?

 

[DisneyStitch626]

They've now updated the calendar on the site until Oct. 14th!! Still haven't scheduled any events, but at least there's been some movement!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

inluvwithbuzz already posted that information. Sorry, I missed that post!

Its good they have the park hours for the month of October, but we still need events that are going on that month.

 

[canadadisney]

Yahhhhhhhh!!!! All the hours are up for our trip. I am so happy CA will be open until 11. I am trying a new strategy this time and not park hopping. We plan to spend all day on the Friday at CA so I am so glad they have extended hours so we can get everything done!

Theoretically though to be on the safe side we could ask at City Hall like with any other character and get specific times, correct?

 

[BELLEDOZER]

I'm just happy that they released the operating hours finally for the first part of Oct. Hopefully this is a sign that are going to update the remainder of the Halloween time info soon. Am looking forward to see what parades and entertainment is going to be going on while I'm at the mouse. Have a great day everyone!

As I understand it, only a few rides over by pier area are closed. Someone will have a better list though. I'm not sure about screaming, at one time I heard it was and then heard it wasn't.
