HalloweenTime at DLR Info and Photo Superthread #3

[Kilted Candyman]

Just got off the phone (like everyone else ) and we unfortunately have to decide if we want to do it Sat instead of the zoo and tar pits (live and dead animals all in one day) since Friday is booked up and Thursday is to early for our flight.

They are also only doing 5 rides this year Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy, Haunted Mansion, Matterhorn, BTMRR, and TOT. We decided to not do the tour but to just do the party. I want to do all the meet n greets as well as go on rides. I am sad I will miss TOT but I have more trips coming up to ride it.

 

[Kilted Candyman]

Well, got the changes made. We are going to spend 3 night, 2 days at DL. Cancelled the LA part (including the convertable, Amy is really disappointed) so to spend Sat at DL for the tour.

Also will get a chance for World of Color (our favorite) and fireworks.

Hope to see several while at the parade. We are working on some pirate outfits.

I am itching to see if anyone goes on the tour the first weekend. Love to hear a report!

The disney blog says they have made changes and added attractions......and I have read here they do not go on as many attractions. We are booked for the tour the 19th...so early in the season. We will I am sure have fun regardless, but I am a bit OCD when it comes to planning.

Same here. I will be going the first Saturday of the tour (I think the last Sat of Sept is the first weekend) so I will make sure to get some pics up.

Looking forward to it.

I think they start the tours Friday Sept 14th. I have booked my daughter and I for the 19th. I will be sure to get a report in and pics if I can, though might have to wait until we get home for the pics.

Even better.

Quick question that may have be ansered somwhwere in this thread but I just have not read it all. As a WDW veteran and a DL rookie my question is can you be in the parks during the event without a special ticket and if so will certain rides be off limits. Just so happens we will be in California and going to DL and CA on October 13th and 14th and were not planning to do the Halloween event.

Can somewhat tell me what limitations will be if we are in the parks and not a part of the Halloween event?

brerrabbit -

The good news is that there will not be any Halloween parties taking place on 10/13 and 10/14 this year, so it won't affect you at all. You will get to enjoy Halloween Time festivities and seasonal decorations, but you won't have to worry about the actual exclusive party and any limitations.

I have links to Mickey's Halloween party info in the very first post on Page 1 of this thread. Mickey's Halloween party is the only thing that requires a special ticket that is separate from a regular park ticket, Hopper or Annual Pass.

California Adventure stays open and is not involved in Mickey's Halloween Party at all.

Disneyland is the park that holds the exclusive Halloween party. On party nights, Disneyland will close a bit early, after which only the party guests with separate tickets for the event will be allowed in the park. I believe it closes at 7 p.m. on Friday nights, and at 6 p.m. on all other Halloween party nights.

Absolutely CANNOT wait to read everyones trip reports and see everyones photos from the Halloween season this year! It will be an awesome help to plan for my trip during Halloween 2013!

 

[princesszelda]

I hope that they will have more Halloween items available on Halloween day. I know in 2010 they did not have much and they had more Christmas items. Last year we did not go on Halloween we went a few weeks early. I can not wait to see all the peoples reports and pictures. I hope it makes my wait shorter, and I can also make a list of things that I want. Poor DH I hope he does not feel the burning in his wallet

Anyone know what rides are not open during the Halloween Party in CA? Planning on going this year on October 12 and my grandchildren are specifically asking about the Finding Nemo Submarine ride. Will that be open during the party?
Thanks,

I'm glad you saw the pictures. I added 3 posts of nothing-but-Treasures (merchandise) photos yesterday and no one seemed to notice or care!

I moved your post to the Halloween Superthread. You mistakenly asked the question in my trip report thread.

You know - that's a good question about the Nemo Subs. I don't know if they are open during the Halloween Party. Hopefully someone else can shed some light on that. Of course, they will be open before the party begins - that much we know for sure.

I know what you mean. I merely took a bunch of photos of merchandise. I didn't really buy any of it last year. (In previous years I have bought it, though.) The wallet hurts after a day at DLR!

I noticed! I was just trying to resist. I will not spend a fortune on DL merchandise, I will not spend a fortune on DL merchandise, I will not spend a fortune on DL merchandise . . . .

I was there last weekend and they have lots of Halloween stuff in the stores already. What I was looking for, and couldn't find, was the light up ghost necklace (or a light up pumpkin necklace). If anyone sees the light-up necklaces, would you post where?
Thanks so much!

(The ghost necklace is in Sherry's first post of 'Treats & Treasures' that she posted yesterday, 9/5)
