HalloweenTime at DLR Info and Photo Superthread #3

It kind of shredded right at the seam right in the front in two places. At least it happened when the party was over. lol It's only like $25 and still available on amazon...maybe I'll just click it. Thanks for the compliment!

If you can sew (even with a needle and thread), do you think you could fix it by sewing some trim in front? Maybe some sparkling lace or something? I'd reinforce/patch where it shredded first, but then lace could cover the "fix."

It looked good to me too, but there are so many Halloween options out there I'd like to think you could get something for $25 that would last more than 8 hours. I might add some poofy short sleeves (no shirt needed unless you want it) to give it a bit more of a Victorian-ish style. But that's certainly not necessary; it was a good look as you had it too.

Cheap corsets aren't really made to be compressing... the grommets don't take the tension and the buck isn't as strong as a real one. I'm curious why you think you don't have the body.

To be honest, no filling up top. I couldn't tie it up tight enough to put them away. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong....either way, the color wasn't as bright as the one in the picture.

Looks like we will be there the same time. Are you going to the party on Halloween night? What is your costume?

I am hoping that by being in DLR until Nov. 5th, I might get to see some of the Christmas decorations too.

We are going to be at the party. I am going as a jedi knight (I am going to build a lightsaber there. DH is going as an original Star Trek science officer (with tricoder).

Some of the Christmas stuff will be up before the end of the Halloween season (like snow on the castle) and the day after Halloween, you will see some Christmas decorations popping up. They have a lot to do before the 12th.

Try either one with molded cups or pulling them up as you tighten. I always have better luck with bi-directional lacers. Getting them tight enough on yourself takes a bit of practice. You could always do a blouse with an underbust one as well... then you don't have to worry about filling it! The other thing that comes to mind is that maybe it was too big?

Look in the bridal dept or lingerie dept of a store, you can easily dye it to your preferred color. I see quite a few of them listed on Craigslist LA, including a gold one for $3.http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/clo/3319666717.html

Has anyone ever done a opposite Halloween party trip. Do Disneyland from opening to party time. Then go to dca during the party. I did it last year and.it was the best. I did more that day than any other day ever. Everything was a walk on including the Peter Pan ride. It was Halloween day last year. I'm trying that this year too but on the 29. Just wondering everyone's experience with it.

I used to take my daughter to Disneyland every Halloween, when the party was still in DCA. No crowds at all and the kids were in costume. So cute.
BTW, if anyone is interested, Costco began selling the 4 day Hopper tickets, with no black out days during the holidays, for $259.99 and comes with a $50 Costco gift card.

Here now!! Crowds aren't bad, but dang is it hot!!

 

[Kathymford]

I was there today as a non party guest. It stayed pretty empty the whole day!!

 

[Xaeldz]

WOW!!!! What a day!!! I got to go to the Halloween party today and even met my three fav villains right away!! Maleficent, Frollo, and Dr. Facillier!!!! I got into the park just in time for Dr. Facilier and moved to the line that Cruella was in only for the characters to get switched and Maleficent and Frollo came out!!! Talk about epic timing!! Still Missing Cruella, Jafar, Lady Tremaine and the Stepsisters, but I got Maleficent!!!!

And then got in line just in time for Captain Jack Sparrow, and then found out after he was going to leave Captain Hook, Peter and Wendy were coming out! So after we got our pics and autographs of Captain Jack we ran back in line for Captain Hook, Peter and Wendy!

We went to the two Halloween parties last week - the 9th and the 12th. We did the Ultimate Experience on Tuesday, and I have to say - it was awesome! Tuesday we never made it off main street during the party because there was so much to do there, Friday we did the rest of the park. And we had the best time at both parties! There was so much to do and see. Somehow we collected enough candy to completely fill a suitcase without even trying. We just hit the odd trick or treat trail if it was on our way to where we were headed.

These are my two youngest and my nephews at the Pirates League before the party. The girls there did an amazing job! The boys had a blast.

Captain Hook was the villian that was conjured up in the tent when we went in.

The step-sisters (and all the villians on mainstreet) were so attentive and in character, they were very entertaining.

Loved the singers!

Is the Ultimate Experience the tour?

Did anyone happen to see this story on Stitch Kingdom from last night, about this upcoming holiday season?

http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney...stivities-buena-vista-street-cars-land-58050/


I am over-the-moon, bursting with excitement over this story, as the decorations and overall atmosphere sound phenomenal.

Snowy the Snow Car? Santa set up in the department store, circa 1930? I am all over it!

So when I say that Disney treats Halloween Time as being inferior, and they keep scaling down the Halloween Time festivities, I think you know what I mean - and that was the case even before all of this new stuff was added in to the mix!

In fact, dare I say that Disney probably scaled back Halloween Time a wee bit this year because of the massive holiday undertaking - there's only so much money to spend in the "holiday decorating budget," I suppose.

Anyway, I would like to see DLR amp up the Halloween decor and festivities - maybe not to the level of Christmas time, but more than what it is!
