Halloween strikes at DLP!

DLP has just unveiled its annual Halloween decorations, including decorating Phantom Manor for the first time. If you thought PM was scary in its usual guide, check this out:

Unfortunately not this year as we will be in the Alps signing endless forms at a solicitors for my parents new holiday apartment. If we weren't doing this I would have loved to have visited DLP - it's wonderful around this time of year, especially the Halloween Soirees (or whatever they are called).

We're going for half term 21 - 25 October.

Will decorations be up then or are we too early?

What are Halloween Soirees??

Thanks Sue

Decorations are going up as we speak, so you will most certainly see them.

The Soirees (or whatever they are called) are hard ticket events on Halloween itself plus the nearest Saturday. The park closes at the normal time (8pm ish) then re-opens at 9pm for ticket holders only (tickets are about £13 I think), and stays open until 2am, with Main Street, Halloweenland and Discoveryland all open. There are lots of special events, fireworks, music and entertainment. What makes these evenings special is the terrific atmosphere and incredible Halloween fancy dress that many people wear. If you are visiting DLP when one of these events are on I would highly recommend it.

It looks fantastic except the strange blue structures sticking out on either side. ( Could this be a way of blocking out the lights from the Studios?)

I also thought these were odd. Can't imagine what they are for, but perhaps they do catch the light from the Studios (Stunt Show?) for an eerie glow around Phantom Manor. Sadly I won't get to see it this year. C'est la vie...

Is DLP very busy for this time of year and Halloween ?

 

[rob@rar.org.uk]

It is much quieter than in the summer months, although DLP's effort at decoration and promoting Halloween have been very successful in recent years so it is not as quiet as you might imagine for this time of year. The weekend around Halloween (and Bonfire Night the following weekend) are busier than the rest of the month, but not so much as to spoil your visit. I think it's a nice time of year to visit for a long weekend, and if you have the chance the Halloween Soirees are great fun.
