What is this Ultimate Experience (UE) that I keep reading about? How does it differ from the regular HP?

I didn't realize it at the time but it turns out we will be there during one of the HP's so I'm going to bite the bullet and buy the tickets, even though we already have park hoppers. It sounds like an awesome time for our kids! (And us too)

It's a package that includes both the happiest haunts tour and the Halloween party. It's offered on any party day and is a little over 100, I think under 120/pp. if I wasn't arriving the same day as the only party during our trip, I would definitely do it. The tour includes fun facts, treats, front of the line on 5 or so rides in both parks and a souviner. Not a bad deal considering the price of both and hat you get, would make a whole day of fun!

The Halloween time merchandise is slowly rolling out today at Disneyland

Here are a few items that were seen out and about today.

My Halloween Round Up photos

Those photos are great iKristen! Maybe I will have my family leave me at the roundup for a while so I can get all the photos I want. I can already imagine my DS complaining as I take photo after photo.

I've learned to take the time and do the little things since I've been so many times now. It's fun and the photos are always great

Kristin and Disney4Nina -

Fantastic Round-Up contributions! I love them all! Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

Disney4Nina, I'm glad that Photobucket worked for you!!

Kristin, I can't believe that merchandise is showing up so soon - I mean, I love Halloween Time and all, but this is a tad early!


As promised, because I have so many Halloween Round-Up photos, I have been sprinkling them in a little at a time (some this past Friday; some yesterday), so it's time for tonight's installment of Round-Up photos from me...

First of all, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you like the thread!

You're correct - if you are wearing a costume to the MHP, you can't be in the park in costume until they start letting in the ticket holders. So if you're there when they start letting MHP people in at 3 p.m. (on any day other than Friday), you can go in then. On Fridays you can enter with your MHP ticket at 4 p.m. So if you spent the day in DL, you'd have to exit at some point, change into your costume and then re-enter at 3 p.m. or 4 p.m.

So we can't stay inside the park and get our wristbands there? Sorry I don't know the procedure on how to get the wristbands for the party and I wanted to be clear on what to do. I remember hearing that people who were already in the park could just go to the entrance on the inside of the park and get their wristbands, maps, and bags there without having to go outside and come back in. Granted this was a few years ago when they moved the party back to DL so I know things have to have changed since then but I just want to be clear. I was thinking about stashing our costumes in a bag in a locker during the day and change once we get our wristbands. Thanks Sherry for the info!

I'm not sure where the wristband station(s) will be set up. I thought there used to be more than one station. When we went to the MHP last year, the tables where the CM's were handing out the bags, maps and the wristbands were right in front of the floral Mickey, just inside the turnstiles. So you're basically at the front gates anyway.

Otherwise, yes, you can definitely get your wristband and then change into your costume in one of the DL bathrooms! (I think I just wanted to make sure you didn't put on your costume and try to walk around the park before getting the wristband, which is why I mentioned going out and coming back in again in my previous post!)

Something just dawned on me after I posted that last reply, as I was about to sign off for the night.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I seem to recall someone on the DIS mentioning a 'catch' with the lockers on MHP nights - it was maybe something about not being able to rent a locker early in the day and keep it all through the MHP. In other words, if you got the locker early on you may have to clear it out before the MHP starts, or rent a new one during the MHP.

I don't remember the specifics of this, but I remember someone saying something like that, and I don't recall if it applies to all lockers or only certain ones. Hopefully someone will know more and speak up about it here. Keep it in mind, just in case!

I hope that isn't true about the lockers. I rented one as we were waiting for rope drop last year during a MHP day. Went back around 7:30 to get my tripod and sweatshirts in the locker, no problem. Hope to do the same on Oct. 12.

Elk Grove Chris -

That's great to know. I was hoping I was wrong, or that maybe the instance I read about was just a one-time fluke. I wish I could remember which DIS'er mentioned it (it was a long time ago) so I could find the thread and re-read it to be clear.

In any case, I definitely trust your more recent experience with the lockers over my foggy memory of what I read! I have not yet attempted to rent a locker on an MHP day, so I don't have any first-hand experience with how that works when the MHP start time kicks in.

More Halloween Round-Up fun for today!!!
