I remember that photo -- and I remember someone posting that their little girl saw the photo and burst into tears on the spot! We like Halloween Time and the Disney parties for the fun scary vibe and leave the creepy, gory stuff to the other theme parks. If we scream at a Disney party, it's because we're having fun!
But there was a dining package at Blue Bayou several years running for MHP at DL. It was hosted by Dr. Facilier, came with a generous sized bag of candy, a special gift, parade and fireworks viewing at the Hub. So people were expecting dining packages for this year's party at DCA and were willing to pay for the experience.
As othrs have said, they've provided bags in the past. It usually features the next up-coming animated movie release. The bags are not large (they're about 9” tall, by 7” wide, by 3” deep). Children and adults are both encouraged to trick-or-treat! My group of three adults ended up with over 11 pounds of candy last year!
As others have said, you'll see a mixture of costumes, but I feel like they're more skewed towards Disney characters. Almost all of the costumes are family friendly, but there is usually at least one person wearing something that would be better suited for Universal or Knot's Berry Farm (if they allowed costumes). I think they're more noticeable because they look out-of-place.
Yes, Haunted Mansion Holiday should be up and running on the 6th. The merchandise should also be available (it'll probably be released mid-to-late August). The HalloweenTime souvies and foods should also debut on the 6th. They've said that they'll present Halloween Screams as the fireworks show during HalloweenTime, so that should also debut on the 6th.
For Halloween Screams- are you thinking Friday and Saturday nights or just Saturday?
My guess is Fri, Sat, and Sun. That would be generally consistent with when fireworks are presented during non-peak season.
Agreed, but one caveat. When you're ordering online make sure to double check to see if the park branded merchandise says "Disneyland Resort" or "Walt Disney World" on it. Lately both resorts have the same design, but Shop Disney seems to have WDW stuff more often.
I doubt it as they start removing anything Halloween related the day after Halloween accept for the Nightmare before Xmas as that stays up until New Years.
It was still up last year but by the time we checked out on the 4th it was gone. I'm not sure what day they removed it but I believe it was right after the 1st.
That's a good question. If I had to guess, I would say probably not. HalloweenTime ends on 10/31, so I'd guess that might be last night when Halloween Screams is presented (assuming they'd present it on a Thu). They will probably have fireworks on 11/1-3, but it might be something like Mix Magic or maybe Disneyland Forever (the show that's being presented now) or they might just roll into the Holiday show (given that the holiday season starts on 11/8).
Can you please post a link or repost the pictures?
Were in the same group
Here is a post from Disneylanddaily:

I know the pictures were already posted but here is the link to her Instagram. She goes a lot so I am sure she will post on her story when she tries food or sees decorations.
