Halloween at DL

awww I wish I could have a kitty

I am getting so pumped for my trip. 30 days to go!!! I hope this doesn't sound too creepy, but I have been counting down like this " Well, this person on the disboards has their trip and when they get back it will be this many days until I go" LOL!

I am hoping to get some mugs, maybe a popcorn bucket and maybe some other little things. My BFF LOVES halloween so I will get her something, and I'm about to become a first time auntie so maybe some cute baby boy stuff.

Thanks all the nice comments on my new kitty Good thing she will remain a inside cat. Halloween can be very risky for a black cat. BTW, she is completely black; not a white spot on her.

Anyone have a picture of the Halloween ears?

funatdisney - What kind of dog do you have? Cute kitty!

 

[funatdisney]

So what kinds of Halloween/seasonal souvenirs are people here planning on buying?

I don't usually buy too many things. I'll probably get at least one Halloween pin though.

I would like to buy the Halloween shirt I saw posted on Miceage http://micechat.com/forums/blogs/in-...rogs-more.html (the first t-shirt) and..
I always wear a MHP or MNSSHP t-shirt for MHP. I thought I would like to add a Halloween themed Mickey ears or Minnie headband.

We think she is a Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. She was a puppy we rescued from the ranch where we board our horses. She is already 73lbs and only weighed 9lbs when we brought her home last January. She is also an exceptionally friendly and happy dog and smart as the dickens, too. She has a cinnamon colored coat, which is stunning against a black cat.

So, is anyone else working out or anything to get ready for their trip? I'm horrible about working out, but am doing 30 minutes on the treadmill a day to get ready for the walking... I figure my 30 minutes is equivalent to PPH to the gates, back to PPH, and back to the gates--so ~2 miles in a half hour, and I have my back and forth for morning, then nap, then back in the afternoon, and then back to the hotel to sleep for the night.

I walk around downtown in my small town every night to walk my dog before bed so that's my exercise for vacation I start a diet AFTER vacation so that's exciting!!

I'm thinking a picnic dinner/WOC package and lots of picture taking.

Thanks!
Teresa

I would HIGHLY recommend the WOC viewing!! That is something I would love to see over & over. However since we are just going for about 24 hours, we are not doing it this trip. We did Ariel's Grotto but the food was just OK. If you see a picnic dinner that looks tasty then I think that would be just fine. From what others have told me the view is better from further back anyway. We were on the closer edge to the circular area where the fountains run during the day. Hard to describe unless you have seen the viewing area.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the input Sue. I have this on my 'must-do' list. We were there in December and saw the final stages of the construction. Will be fun to see it in person!

Our dog has a similiar color coat. I love it!

I've been walking every day but not much. Just a mile or so. I've also been trying to get back into doing Wii Fit on a regular basis. I lost some weight recently but then I gained it back. I don't get too tired walking around the parks or anything but I was hoping my face wouldn't look so big in pictures. My face is the first place I seem to gain weight. I'm in the average range but I just think my face looks chunky right now. And since we leave in less than two weeks, I guess I just have to make peace about my fat face in pictures.

last year they had a halloween themed vinylmation, probably just get that. maybe a pin.

Ooh, I love vinylmation! I'll have to look for that. At the very least I plan on getting one or two from the newest Park Series.

Lurker here. I'm going to San Diego for business next month and have finagled a day at Disney Land! I'll be there October 13th which isn't a party day. I'll be going solo.

What are the 'must sees' for a one-day visit? I was thinking of the Haunted Tour but don't think I want to spend 3 hours of my day on a tour.

I'm thinking a picnic dinner/WOC package and lots of picture taking.

What are the special decorations for Halloween?

Thanks!
Teresa

Yay! So glad you get to squeeze in a Disneyland Day! Can't wait to see your pictures Teresa!

this will be my first halloweentime visit so I will need to control my urge to buy EVERYTHING halloween-themed!
I do know I am gonna get Halloween ears, some seasonal pins for my brother in law, & every time i visit DLR i get a vinylmation so i will get another one! (to add to my current giant collection of 3 lol)

I am TRYING to be on somewhat of a diet lol. And trying to be more consistent with my workouts (I love food and dislike working out!)
But I try to do an hour on the treadmil a day at least.
I'm gonna try to really hit it hard one month before my trip (oct 14...so I have like 3 more days of 'kinda dieting & kinda working out' )
I don't wanna feel guilty when all i eat at DLR is halloween goodies and snacks!

FYI...

For those people near a Walgreens...

They are starting to put out their Halloween items. Walgreens always seems to carry the most Disney themed merch. My store isn't finished, but they had Mickeyhead pumpkins, lights, snowglobes, etc. There are windowclings, stickers, and lighted decorations.

I bought a few additions to my collection and couldn't wait to put them out.

They really get you in the spirit of the season!

Ah, Walgreens has Disney Halloween window clings? Sweet! What are the designs? Mickey and the gang?

I have some Disney window clings for Halloween and Christmas from years back (think I got them from Walmart), but some of them have seen better days. I've been wanting to get some new ones but have had zero luck finding Disney designs anymore. Does Walgreens usually do Disney Christmas clings too?

I'm thinking of getting the following pins while I'm there:

and of course I'll be on the lookout for any special pins during the Halloween Party as well.

 

[fhtpdw20]

Darn airlines are going to keep my souvenirs in check. I alway get park music to help post-trip letdown. I will be on the lookout for scrapbook materials. I want to get the Wally Boag book. T-shirts. Wonder what the rates are for shipping. At WDW, when you ship things home, you pay the shipping and the sales tax is waived. Do they do the same at DL? Do they have any large snowglobes?

I like this one! Thanks for teasing me with more ways to spend my money
