Sherry E the one thing that MiceChat doesn't have is "Sherry E" with some of the best Disneyland informational threads on the web...::yes::
 
Yeah that's why I follow all the Disney sites on Twitter and Facebook, just to get the first looks :)

Disneyanajc -

:rotfl2:Thank you for the very kind sentiment!:hug: I appreciate it.

Yes, this is true - MiceChat is sorely lacking in that area!:rotfl2: They do not have me!:rotfl:;)

In fact, from what I've been told, the other side of this board, of the DIS - the WDW side, to be specific - doesn't even quite have threads like these ("these" being the Halloween and Christmas Superthreads with info and photos on the entire seasons, or on one main subject). I've been told that the WDW side has Superthread-type things, but not like what we have going here.

I belong to all of the Facebook pages for official and non-official Disney stuff, but not the Twitter pages. I was just on the Parks Blog earlier to read the latest on the Disneyland Candlelight Processional this year, but, coincidentally, I actually went to the Parks Blog in hopes that there would be some breaking Halloween Time news - like decorations in DCA, perhaps? But instead I got Christmas-related news, which is good too!
 
So last week I ordered 6 tickets for Tuesday October 23rd (VERY VERY EXCITED), well today I get an email from Chase Disney Rewards, and they are discounting tickets for that night (it would save us about 50 bucks).
Anyone know how to go about getting a refund for the difference? Sent an email to ticketinquiries, but wish there was someone to talk to. Called customer service and they said they only way to do it was by shooting them an email.
And I thought it pays to do things in advance!:confused3

Hope you get a credit! What was the discounted price with the card?

I really love a couple of those candelabras! Also, I notice that they are selling several items that were sold in Disneyland last year (like the "Nightmare Before Christmas" ornaments). I wonder if those items will be sold at DL again this year too, or if there will be more new stuff in the parks?

On the one hand, even though I appreciate that the Disney Store has a lot of the in-park merchandise for sale nowadays (which makes it so much easier for people to get hold of), I also kind of miss the days when discovering the merchandise at DLR was an adventure in and of itself because it was almost all clever and almost all exclusive to the parks! Back in the '90s and into 2000/2001 you couldn't find 95% of the in-park resort merchandise at the Disney Store or online. It was only at the parks (whether that was DL or any of the parks at WDW). So there was more excitement and surprise around finding cool stuff and buying it. Now, so much of the resort stuff is available in other places.


I totally agree! This and the holiday thread are the best!

cpster -

Thank you kindly!:blush: I appreciate it very much. We've got some amazing contributors in this thread and over in the Christmas thread, and they make the threads what they are! (Take that, MiceChat! We've got better holiday threads than you have! Muahahahahahahaha!)

I would also like to say that we have HydroGuy and MiceChat does not, but I think he may occasionally post over there too (though not as often as he does on the DIS).
 
Tomorrow we will begin a new theme week, but today we are still in Halloween Round-Up week.

Does anyone have anymore Round-Up photos to share?
 
By the way, I just wanted to make sure that anyone new to this thread is reading up on the basic info on Halloween Time (from the official Disney websites) for this year's season.

It doesn't appear that too much will have changed from recent years in terms of decorations in California Adventure, sadly, but at least they are sticking in a "Frankenweenie" exhibit in DCA. (Why, oh why, couldn't one of the giant candy corn props left over from Candy Corn Acres go to A Bug's Land?)

If DLR were actually going to have any noteworthy decorations set up in DCA, you can believe they would mention it as one of their highlights. So we will probably be lucky if we even see some Fall-colored garland anywhere in that park. Disneyland, however, seems to be business as usual in celebrating the season.

We might get a little bit more info into other specific Halloween Time things when the Disneyland Resort website expands the Halloween Time section a little bit further - right around the end of their Summer season (late August/early September). The "Halloween mini-site," as we call it here, usually features a few more details and some graphics. Maybe even sound effects. I don't think we will learn too much more than what we already know, but any little tidbit helps!

The Disney Parks Blog will also likely do a few more Halloween Time-related articles in the coming weeks - probably something about the fresh gingerbread centerpiece in Haunted Mansion Holiday and possibly a blog on treats and/or merchandise.




In the meantime, here are some links to official Disney sites to check out, for reading material:

"The Happiest Place on Earth is About to Get Spookier: Disneyland Resort Celebrates Halloween Time 2012, Sept. 14 Through Oct. 31"

Mickey’s Halloween Party invites adults and children to dress up in costume and trick-or-treat at Disneyland.. These revelers can also arrive before the party to “mix in” with regular Disneyland guests for three hours prior to the start of Mickey’s private bash. Highlights of Mickey’s Halloween Party include:

  • The special opportunity to play in Disneyland for up to three hours before the party starts; check www.Disneyland.com/Halloween for party hours.
  • Fun treat stations offering both candy and healthy treats
  • The “Halloween Screams” fireworks spectacular, hosted by “Master of Scare-omonies” Jack Skellington (presented exclusively for guests of Mickey’s Halloween Party)
  • ”Mickey’s Costume Party” cavalcade, performed twice nightly
  • Dance parties, where guests will “boo-gie” to lively music
  • An opportunity for everyone in the family to attend the park in costumes
  • Photo locations with some popular Disney and Pixar Pals, and Disney Villains
  • Favorite Disneyland rides and attractions, plus Halloween-themed attractions Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy
  • Parking for one standard-size vehicle...


....Some favorite Disney characters, including Mickey himself, will dress up in fun, fall costumes. It’s the ideal environment to eat special holiday treats, play interactive games, listen to “spirited” music and watch a nightly character cavalcade that celebrates the season.

For Halloween fun at Disneyland, guests enjoy Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy in Tomorrowland. The experience begins as a typical Space Mountain adventure, but suddenly launches voyagers into a haunted section of the universe. Ghosts appear out of the starry darkness and swirling galaxies of Space Mountain, reaching out as if to grab guests as they speed through space. The exhilarating drops and curves of the journey are punctuated by piercing screams, creepy sound effects and haunting music.

Jack Skellington also returns to take over the Haunted Mansion and bring back Haunted Mansion Holiday to New Orleans Square in Disneyland. Transformed to a mix of Halloween spookiness and Christmas tradition, Haunted Mansion Holiday is inspired by the Tim Burton film “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Jack’s return to the Haunted Mansion includes the traditional Halloween/Christmas gingerbread house in the Mansion Ballroom, with some special spooky surprises in this year’s design.

Guests will also find some thrills at Disney California Adventure Park this fall. “The Art of Frankenweenie Exhibition” will feature sketches, props, sets and puppets from Tim Burton’s new animated film, “Frankenweenie” from Sept. 14 through Nov. 5, and it includes a sneak peek of the movie. For spine-tingling fun, guests may drop in at The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™ where a “supernatural” event happened on Halloween evening, 1939, forever haunting the building.

I added this info to the very first post (the Welcome post) on page 1, as it is current 2012 info. When 2012's season is done, I will put some of it - or links to the info - in Post 3, with the info on seasons past.

may i suggest Halloween food treats and coffin popcorn buckets or coffin sandwich holder (from some place or another)

Suggest them for...?:confused3 You mean suggest them for my first post in this thread? The first post is merely the Welcome post, and other than my welcome information that's already been in there for a long time, I am putting the bare minimum of info there - only links or information directly from official Disney sites about this year, specifically.

So if Disney does a specific press release or blog on food, I will add it to Post #1.

Otherwise, any other blogs or articles from other unofficial sites, or from other threads (if they are somehow pertinent to the seasonal planning) would go in the actual Information post, which is #3 on Page 1. I already have quite a few food items listed in #3.
 
lol i meant for a weekly them Halloween food and what not treats sorry lol

:rotfl2: I thought that might be the other choice for what you meant, but I wasn't sure!:rotfl:

Anyway, you won't be disappointed.;) All the themes have been chosen, and it's going to be a surprise each week as to what the theme is until we get to Fridays - some things have been grouped together with other things into a 2-for-1 kind of theme, and some things will stand alone as a single theme. (The surprise element worked well in the Christmas thread's Theme Week countdown last year.)

But don't worry - I think you'll be very happy with some of the upcoming categories in future weeks. Some of the categories will be very wide/broad, so it will be easy for many folks to find photos to work into the theme!


:dancer::dancer::dancer:



Corinna -Wonderful pictures! Thank you so much for posting them. I knew there had be some Round-Up photos still floating around out there among our DIS'ers!!
