HalloweenTime at DLR Info and Photo Superthread #3

I never noticed that tree. I love seeing the photos of it though.

Corinna -

The tree is really beautiful at night (though, for some bizarre reason, I don't have any nighttime photos of it, but you can see what it looks like in Bret's pictures above).

In the daytime, however, the tree is very inconspicuous and easy to overlook, I think. The plaque doesn't stand out from afar, so you have to actually go up to it to see it. And if you don't know it's there you might just keep on walking past it.

I guess the only thing that really makes the Halloween Tree stand out in the daytime is that it is the only tree in that specific vicinity that has those pumpkins hanging from it. It's a nice little subtle Halloween Time gem, I think - it's not obvious or elaborate. It's just a simple, quite little tree that is also a tribute to Ray Bradbury.

Seeing the characters above the turnstiles makes me feel as if fall were here. I'm trying to hold out on renewing my pass until next year, but I think the Halloween stuff will break my resolve...

Are the princesses with their princes for meet and greet during the parties? More specifically Flynn (he was gone in WDW before we got to see him and DD soooo wants to see him if possible)

The only day I've heard of princes being with princesses for meet-and-greet is Valentine's Day, and I don't even know if that happened last year. The only photos I've seen with Disney princesses at the party were prince-less, unless a guest was dressed up.

But I have heard that Flynn sometimes (not always) does meet and greets with Rapunzel during regular hours. I met him but that was a long time ago, I think before the movie came out. So I wouldn't get your DD's hopes up but unless something's changed, it sounds like it might happen. He and Aladdin are the only princes I can think of that are somewhat "meetable." (Flynn is great but I miss Naveen. )

Thanks - I didn't know if DL was like WDW in that the princesses have their prince's during the party....if we miss him this time we'll try and catch him next year at WDW's MNSSHP

Is anyone going to the Jamboree today that can report back on what characters are appearing this year? Thanks!

It's Friday, and you know what that means.....



It’s time for the final Theme Week Friday Countdown to Halloween Time!!!

Halloween Time Begins at Disneyland…TODAY!!!!

​

And with the new week comes the last Disneyland Resort Halloween Time theme for 2012!!

As you know, I've been showcasing particular areas of interest of DLR's Halloween Time festivities each week until the 2012 merriment officially began today, Friday, September 14!! It has been a great way to keep the photos rolling in on a regular basis and build anticipation for the kick-off to the season! Also, it has been a way to display the different aspects and details of the Halloween season at DLR that may be totally new to some people...or previously unnoticed/overlooked by others.

Last week we attended the creepily delightful Mickey’s Halloween Party. The week before that we enjoyed some frightfully tempting Treats & Treasures around the parks. The week before that we visited the spiritual Dia de los Muertos display in Frontierland. Before that we strolled along Main Street and enjoyed the Pumpkin Festival, as well as many wonderful window displays. The week before that we celebrated Autumn with a trip to the Scare-Dy-Crow Shack and admired the intricately carved character pumpkins tucked away at the Halloween Round-Up. Prior to that, we took a little trip into the twisted mind of Jack Skellington and his Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay.

Including today’s theme, there have been 7 weekly Friday countdowns from August 3–September 14, 2012, and 6 “mini-themes” – one each day, from 9/8-9/13, leading up to today.

In the Spotlight this Week......

HALLOWEEN TIME CORNUCOPIA
(Miscellaneous! Anything Goes!)!!!​

This is the time to post any ‘leftovers’ that didn’t make it into previous Theme Weeks!

Do you have extra photos that you didn’t include in a previous Theme Week?

Did you arrive late to the party and didn’t get to post your photos during previous Theme Weeks? Today is the day to do it!

Do you have a couple of random Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy photos that you have been hanging on to (something that not too many people seem to have photos of)? Share them today!

Have you taken any photos of the wonderful character Halloween Time display along the tram path, when you’re coming in from the Mickey & Friends lot (a hidden treasure that is kind of hard to get a lot of photos of)? Please post them!

Do you have particular favorites of the photos you have already posted each week – the pictures that you love more than others? Post them again!






In other words, this final Halloween Time Theme Week Countdown of 2012 is a virtual trick-or-treat bag o’ photos! Anything goes, as long as it fits into the “Halloween Time at Disneyland” theme.

In fact, I’m not even going to do what I usually do and post photos to set up the theme. I will post my favorite Halloween Time pictures of the bunch a bit later. Right now, I want YOU to start things off and share what you want to share!

​

Please feel free to post your photos of anything Halloween Time-related, starting now!!!!!

And a big thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who has contributed to and participated in these Theme Weeks (and Theme Days) since August 3rd. I hope you all have had as much fun being a part of it as I have had enjoying all of your beautiful photographs! Group hug, everyone!

Until then, feel free to join us over in the Christmas Superthread for the current Theme Week Countdown in progress (we’re on the 3rd theme in that thread, but we are going all the way to November 12th)!!!



Or…I’ll see you for the next Halloween Time Theme Week Countdown in 2013!

Sherry, thank you for building our excitement for Halloween Time through pictures!

I wasn't sure where pictures of my festive Halloween Lady fit in...so here they are now! I saw this lady in 2010 -- 2 different days -- in the same location each day -- wearing the same clothes. Don't you love her little witch hat?

This is the perfect time for Halloween Lady to make an appearance! That outfit is so fun, festive and cute! Maybe you will see her again in a couple of weeks?



You're welcome, deej! Thank you for participating and sharing your wonderful photos. I know that next year, when it's time for the 2013 Halloween Time Theme Week Countdown, you'll have a whole crop of new pictures to share from your trip this year.

I can't believe that Halloween season is starting today. This time last year, I was getting ready for my trip to Disneyland. I so wish I could go again.

Jade -

The popcorn bucket is larger. You can buy it with the popcorn and empty out the popcorn - or buy the bucket at a shop and get a voucher for popcorn later. If you keep it empty you can use it to carry some candy around at the party.

The lantern is smaller - not tiny, but just smaller than the popcorn bucket. It's the same ghost Mickey, and it's made of the same material, but it has a little light device in it.

 

[JadeDarkstar]

do you know the price of them? i heard the popcorns about 12

I can't recall the price of the lanterns, but they couldn't have been too expensive, even with the little light thing.

The price for the popcorn bucket sounds about right. I know that I was in one store and saw that they were selling both the buckets and the lanterns - and that was a situation in which you could buy the bucket and get the voucher for the popcorn (since they were not serving popcorn in the shop). So you could compare the size of the lantern with the bucket, almost side by side.

I can not wait to see more pictures and reports coming in as Halloween time has officially started. I also can not wait to find out what villains are at the meet and greet. Maleficent??? I know she was in 2010 but not last year. I hope they bring her back. Maybe Ursula???

 

[JadeDarkstar]

From foot to the top of his ear, the popcorn bucket is 11 inches tall, and was around $12. The lantern is 8 inches tall, and was $13.79. The lantern has a image projected from the bottom.

There's an attena ball in the middle for size reference.

The image the little guy makes. It's only in focus at about 8 inches.

Now I want a lantern too
