HalloweenTime at DLR Info and Photo Superthread #3

[Chereya]

What fun pictures dolphingirl! I love all of your different costumes!

 

[Sherry E]

Oh my goodness! Those are the cutest pictures, Corinna!

Actually, I have been loving all the character pictures that I've seen everyone contribute so far. They all came out really well - nice and colorful & bright. Everyone looks so happy and good! I absolutely adore TK's picture with Mickey above.



Corinna - Your Pumpkin Duffy picture reminds me that I should have stopped to get a photo with him last year, and I didn't. I made sure to stop in December and get a Santa Duffy photo, but I didn't stop for Pumpkin Duffy and I am not sure why! I even stopped at his Halloween photo spot, but just didn't get an actual picture with him in that cute pumpkin outfit. Oh well, there is always this year!

WDW's MNSSHP Character picture

We took other pictures, but Mickey wasn't dressed up and the others were with the princesses. We we went, this was the only day is rained. When it rains, the characters aren't very easy to find.

Goofy_Mom -

Even if Mickey wasn't dressed up when you saw him, I'm glad to see that Pumpkin Donald stays consistent in his Halloween garb from WDW to DLR! We can't have him being a pumpkin at one resort, and then wearing a totally different costume at the other resort!

Rain does interfere with characters, that's for sure. Sometimes Chip & Dale will mosey over from Storytellers Cafe and come to the Grand Californian Hotel lobby at DLR to entertain the kids on rainy days...of course, that doesn't help much if it's raining in the parks. They all disappear.

Mike -

Those are fantastic character pictures! The personalities of the characters really come across amazingly well.

You're seeing the "regular schedule" MHP schedule isn't posted on their website. Rest assured, there will be Halloween Screams fireworks on party nights. It will be diffrent from the "everyday" fireworks

Thank you Goofy_Mom

 

[Tiggerholic]

Are you referring to Halloween Screams fireworks, or regular fireworks? Halloween Screams are the fireworks that will happen as part of every Mickey's Halloween Party (which includes Fridays, Tuesdays, a couple of Mondays and Halloween).

The regular fireworks should take place on Saturday nights and Sunday nights in October (it's not a peak season like Summer or the Holidays, so entertainment is a bit different and hours can be a bit shorter during the Halloween party season), and if they are happening on 10/8 it's possibly because it's a holiday that day. (I haven't looked at any other Mondays on the calendar, but the MHP is happening on a couple of them.) October 9 is an MHP night, so there will be Halloween Screams fireworks as part of the party.

That's as much as I know!

I was referring to the Halloween Scream fireworks. Thank you sooooo very much Sherry E I wasn't EVEN aware they still had the regular fireworks during the "Halloween" season.

Do you know if they'll do Fantasmic the same night as MHP's fireworks or will that be a Friday or Saturday night only? I think I remember us rushing from Adventureland for Fantasmic over to watch Halloween Scream fireworks.

6 nights to go until Disneyland is transformed for Halloweentime! Love the decorations this time of year.

Does Jack Skellington scare kids? For example were younger kids crying and screaming in terror near him

We have younger kids and looking at these pictures I'm starting to think we might have to skip him or maybe just have me get a photo with him. He looks pretty intense for a little kid. He and Sally were the characters I was really looking forward to too, bummer.

Does Jack Skellington scare kids? For example were younger kids crying and screaming in terror near him /QUOTE]

I didn't notice any kids traumatized or screaming, though I don't remember seeing many little ones. I don't think Jack looks that creepy and I think Sally's just cute.

I'd probably go through Haunted Mansion Holiday a few times first to get the kids used to the idea. He and Sally DID spend what seemed like a very long time with a small child (I think she was in a princess dress?). I wouldn't be surprised if they were calming the child down. It could have been one of those instances of the parent taking a ridiculously long time to try to get a decent photo with a child who's deathly afraid of the characters, but if I recall correctly she seemed OK by the end, at least. They are very visible while you're waiting in line...or at least they were while I was...so there's plenty of time to gauge if your kids won't be OK.

Or if your kids are scared, then just go and YOU chat with them and get a picture!

Hi Everyone!
Absolutely LOVE the photos with the mist in them, the ones by the river but especially the ones where I think its the pathway between Frontier/Fantasy lands. Those are just great!
Sherry I just wanted to add to the conversation about moving the villians to the ranch. If they stage it right and hopefully we will see photos next week, with the "Fall-iage" stuff as the backgraound and the stagecoach/buggy thing it may come off as a "Wind In The Willows" type look. Maybe they will try to stay away from the ranchy stuff for the villians.
If I read correctly BH and the Hillbillies are going to have a new set of songs to go with the season. That would be really neat.
"MAgic Is Coming"!

Love the pic, the fog on the river looks so neat, three weeks from Tuesday will be our first of two MNSSHP, also going on the 5th. Cant wait

With less than one week to go until September 14th rolls around, you know what that means....



It’s time for the Daily Countdown to Halloween Time!!!

...Only 5 Days Until

Halloween Time Begins at Disneyland Resort!!!!

​

Each day this week there will be a new Halloween Time mini-theme. Some of the daily themes will tie in to a theme from the prior day or from the following day, or even tie into the main theme for the week (which is Mickey’s Halloween Party until 9/14). If you don’t have any photos from the MHP, you may have photos for one of the mini-themes. You may have photos that apply to both the mini-themes and the weekly themes. It’s all good!

Everyone’s photos will fit into many of the themes one way or the other – whether it’s the overall weekly theme or the daily mini-themes, or both! Everything should blend together and (hopefully) transition nicely so that no one has to sit out of the photo-sharing fun for longer than a couple of days.

In the spotlight today….

HALLOWEEN TIME PHOTOPASS PICTURES!!!​

During Halloween Time at Disneyland Resort, you will find that PhotoPass offers several unique photo spots and special borders that can be applied to your pictures. Whether you take a photo in front of the giant Mickey Pumpkin on Main Street during the daytime or pose with Jack Sparrow at Mickey’s Halloween Party at night, there are a few different ways to get that perfectly haunting Halloween portrait!

(From 2008…)


Giant Mickey Pumpkin – non-winking side - in Disneyland…

The ‘I’m scared’ Halloween Time pose in California Adventure…

The long lost Candy Corn Acres…who’s that eating the Candy Corn?

You be the judge…

Villains Photo Spot in California Adventure – stay away from my hair!!!

With Woody, etc., at the Halloween Party (in its former identity – Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party)…

With Captain Jack Sparrow…

I loved the pumpkin projection on California Screamin’

(From 2009…)

Giant Mickey Pumpkin – winking side…

A Rockettes kick…

That same photo from above, with the Photobucket Disney Parks effects…do you notice all the differences? Look very closely!

And a Charlie’s Angels pose…

Candy Corn Acres, how I miss you…

​

Please feel free to share your Halloween Time PhotoPass pictures!

Stay tuned for another daily countdown mini-theme tomorrow …and then we finally wrap up our countdowns and themes on Friday, September 14th!!

I will be doing mini-daily themes every day from today (Sunday, September 9th) through Thursday, September 13th, and then the final weekly theme will be on Friday, September 14th – but please continue to post your Mickey’s Halloween Party pictures all week long if you have them (or any other mini-theme photos too)!!

Thank you!! Bummer you can't go! It looks like you have some really amazing trips planned yourself though! I think my husband would probably much rather be doing some of that kind of stuff...thank goodness he loves me so much and humors my Disney addiction though! HA!

I hear you. DH is not into Disney at all, but fortunately he loves cruising. I can usually get him into a park once per trip. Other than that, he is happy when I am happy and I am the happiest when I am doing something Disney.

When and where are the storm trooper photos? Was it during the Halloween party or just in the park during Halloween time? I have a couple of Star Wars fans that would love that!
