Awesome pics everyone! I have one lone Round Up pic from 2007, I'll try to remember to upload it before Friday! :confused3

So, on another note, I think we've decided to scrap the UE idea (we already bought our MHP tickets, there has been some confusion if the CM's will allow us to purchase the UE even though we already have the party tickets). We have decided to partake in the newly revamped Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour. I am really looking forward to it, it's pretty pricey (even with our AP discount)...but we try to do at least one thing every trip that we've never done before. This and the MHP will be the major differences this coming trip. :wizard:
 
Newb question at least when it comes yo Halloween time. I am planning a surprise trip (hopefully) for my husband's B-Day in Oct 2014. We have never been there at Halloween time but have done the summer and Christmas time (going again in 2013 to celebrate 30 yrs.

My question is should I plan for four full days in the parks or 5? In Dec 2013 we will be there for 8 days. Don't usually go back to back like this but decided to get APs for the three of us in dec and thought wouldn't it be great to go during Halloween time.

I am planning to do the party at least one night. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

I love all the pics that have been posted so far
 
Thanks Sherry and Elk Grove Chris for the answers!!! I'm glad that they (hopefully) won't clear out the lockers between the regular day and the party. We won't be staying at a hotel on Harbor or on-property so I wanted to be able to store our costumes and then change in the bathroom after getting our wristbands.

BTW, I love all of the pictures everyone!!!!!! The pumpkins are just amazing and I can't believe how the carvers do all of that (of course my pumpkin carving expertise is limited to triangles for eyes, nose, and mouth :rotfl:).
 
The Halloween time merchandise is slowly rolling out today at Disneyland :)

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

I see a hidden mickey:woohoo:

I can't remember if I've said it before, but thanks for this thread. I really love halloween and can't wait for my trip to roll around. I don't have any pictures to contribute, yet. Last year we did WDW's Halloween party and I've got some pictures of that. By mid to late October I should have my pictures from my up coming birthday trip to share, even some party pictures.:thumbsup2 this thread is getting me super excited!

You have sharp eyes, Goofy_Mom! You are good! I wish I had a prize to give out for that!!

I took that photo and I didn't even see the hidden Mickey until you pointed it out.:rotfl2: It's very easy to overlook! Now I see it, but I can totally see how it would be missed.

Woo hoo!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you like the thread. I actually just popped in now to comment on your amazing observational skills in spotting that hidden Mickey, but am planning on coming back here later to reply to some posts and share more photos.

What's funny was I wasn't even looking for a Mickey. I noticed a huge contrast of a large dark mass against the pretty oranges and reds. I was curious what the mass was so I looked closer at it and then "oh, I see a Mickey" lol
 
NOOOO!!! So I guess Indiana Jones will be closed from September 4th through December 7th :( I am a sad panda. That makes two major closures during Halloween time.
 
Another new Halloween time item :) These are resin tombstones. The other two photos are suckers!!

Thank you for posting pics of the new Halloween items iKristen! It's getting me so excited! LOVE the suckers!! The stuffys are super cute too. :)
 
No problem :) I'm trying to post them as soon as I see them posted on Facebook and Twitter
 
Kristin -

I love the merchandise pics! Love the resin pieces.

Do you know who has been taking these wonderful photos? In other words, where are they coming from when they get to Facebook/Twitter and you see them? Are they from MiceChat or somewhere else?

I just want to make sure that whoever is actually taking the pictures - or whichever website/page the photos are originally appearing on - gets credit for them. I am extra-sensitive to that because I've had photos of mine stolen from Facebook and posted around the Internet without my permission.

So now, if I ever post a photo that I didn't take myself (which is not often), I will either mention who the photographer is, or if I don't see a name I will specify which site I got it from, or if I don't know that much I will at least mention Google Images.

I think that, so far, you could easily get away with 4 full days for Halloween Time. I say "so far" because I don't know if anything new will be added in to the roster of seasonal fun within the next year or two that might require more time. Five days wouldn't be bad, if you can swing it, but 4 would be okay.

I think 8 days in December is a wise choice. Even though any days during the holiday season - 1 day, 2 days, 3 days, whatever - is better than nothing, as you know (because you've seen it), there is so much to see and take in during the Christmas season that the more time you can manage for it, the better, I think. Even doing something like getting a freshly made candy cane is a big deal and requires perfect timing - arriving at the Candy Palace early, waiting in line and getting a ticket, then coming back to get the fresh candy cane, etc. That takes a chunk out of the morning!
 
Do you think it would be better to go earlier in the month to one of the Halloween parties or later? Or is choosing one of the middle dates best? I've never been, but am excited to go. (Definitely will not be going on Halloween..) and which weekday is best to go? should I go on one of the times that has a Monday night or should I go on Tuesday?

Hello!:wave:

Well, let's see... I would guess that Monday or Tuesday night parties would be less crowded than Friday night parties, simply because of the "work night/school night" factor involved.

But last year I was there on the second party night (which was Monday, October 3) and it seemed pretty crowded. It didn't look all that much different than a weekend night. I assumed it was because it was early on in the party calendar, and because it was either in the middle of the Gay Days crowds or close to it. It wasn't unbearable, by any means - I would go then again if I had to - but it was just much more crowded than I expected for a Monday night.

I would always guess that the first night of the party and the last night of the party will be super-busy. I still would like to try an actual Halloween night party once in my life, just to cross it off the bucket list, but I agree - it would be crowded on that night!

I think that maybe sticking with a Tuesday party around mid-month (after Columbus Day has passed and before the week of Halloween rolls around) would be the best choice for lower crowds. I could be wrong, but that's what I would choose if I were you.
 
Yikes, thought I had posted that on it :) I forgot. Thanks to Kristen from Moustalgia for the sucker/resin pics!! The other two photos are from MiceChat on Facebook
