HalloweenTime at DLR Info and Photo Superthread #3

Very nice theme to start the weekly Halloween theme. Looks like when I go see the HMH this year, I will have to get all those little details which I missed.

I'm enjoying the pictures. I'm going to Disneyland for the first time at Halloween and I'm wondering what all you experts think about how this overlay changes the Haunted Mansion's scariness factor. A year ago my daughter was just on the edge of being able to handle it. She rode it once but didn't want to again. When we talk about it now she says it was "ok" but that she doesn't really want to do it again. It's just the two of us on this trip and I'd love to see it, but it's not worth it to me to make her do something that will upset her. Do you think the decorations make the Mansion more or less scary? Or is it just different?

I think it's less scary. Not as many ghosts and scary sounds

My DD-8 will go on Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion but finds regular Haunted Mansion scary. Less ghosts and scary stuff, I guess.

I have a question. I didn't think about the HM being closed for overlay and I'm going with my daughter and grand kids the 12th and 13th. Of course HM will still be closed. Do they ever open a day early and not announce it??

Sometimes. Of course, we never know what will happen from year to year but there have been a couple of unannounced soft openings for Haunted Mansion Holiday in the past, as I recall...although I don't remember if there was one last year. For something like It's a Small World Holiday, that is almost a sure bet to open at least a couple of days before the holiday season begins. In the case of Haunted Mansion Holiday having a soft opening before Halloween Time, it is not as predictable.

This thread was dangerously tiptoeing on the edge of Page 2, about to cross over to "Page 3 land." Since the season is beginning next month (Yay! I'm so excited! Time for Creepy Dancing Guy), we need to keep it in the spotlight!

Thank you, everyone, for your amazing, beautiful "Haunted Mansion Holiday/Nightmare Before Christmas" Theme Week Countdown photos! We still have a couple more days of the HMH/NBC theme, so if anyone has any others they'd like to share, feel free. On Friday we will begin a brand new theme!

I could have feasibly broken up a couple of my "big" themes that are coming up into mini-themes, or even just separate theme weeks. We will have some mini-themes down the road, but I am going to throw in a couple of major themes that have a lot of sub-sections within them (which should make it easier for lots of people to find things to post).

Basically, I had the idea that I wanted to keep the themes limited to no more than "13" - just because 13 is associated with superstition or slightly creepy things, which was fitting for this Halloween Superthread! (You see, my wheels are always spinning and my twisted mind is always racing!) So to keep it at 13 themes (including both weekly and daily mini-themes), I had to mush some things together into one big supertheme!

Now I could have done a similar thing with the Christmas thread - maybe make it "12" themes (for the "12 Days of Christmas" and all of that), but there is way, way too much ground to cover for the holiday season to limit the themed countdowns to 12, so I'm not doing that! (In fact, at last tally, I think there were 18 themes for the Christmas countdown!)

​

One thing I should mention too - if a theme pops up that could possibly include photos you have already posted for a previous theme week, that's 100% okay! Just post them again, if you'd like to!

For example, something that appeared in this week's HMH/NBC theme week may be applicable to other themes coming up. Don't worry that you have already posted them. There are new people tuning in to the thread all the time and they haven't necessarily seen all that has already been posted.

So feel free to share whatever you want to share, whether or not it's already been seen!

I'm quoting my post from yesterday to bump this thread up and to remind everyone that there will be a new theme in 2 days! We're still in HMH/NBC week, however, so if anyone has anymore photos within that theme to share, go right ahead!

Vanessa, thank you so much for your photos yesterday. You were actually a main factor in why I decided to start the countdown off with the HMH theme. You mentioned that you hadn't taken many photos in 2007 (your last Halloween Time trip), but I didn't want to start out right off the bat with a theme that you couldn't participate in. I knew you'd have some HMH photos because you were at DLR last year when the holiday season began, and thus, would be able to participate in HMH/NBC week over in this thread! It was all part of my master plan! Muahahahahahahahaha!

(Again, as I mentioned in my post above, see how my wheels are always spinning?)

I'm liking your master plan! And thank you for thinking of me! Hmmm...I wonder if there will be a theme week for the DCA decorations of past, I did get some pics of those But, I am thoroughly excited to see others' photos of the stuff I have to look forward to! I think I'm just under the 2 month countdown

 

[laura&fam]

Sherry E thank you for the countdown. Since I've never been at Halloween time before my participation in the countdown is limited to looking at everyone else's photos but I love it! Thanks to all who are posting photos.
