HalloweenTime at DLR Info and Photo Superthread #3

[tksbaskets]

Love the pictures of all the Halloween merchandise! I have the Jim Shore "Happy Haunts" in my own personal collection. Perhaps I'll get it out tomorrow. Close enough to Halloween right?

Thank you for all the pictures of the treats and the wonderful things to buy. I'm sure the candy at the party won't be enough junk food for us and is bringing an empty suitcase silly?

 

[KiwiMouseGirl]

Im a little concerned at the amount of candy we might get to be honest. We are going to do the halloween party twice so that we really get the chance to take everything in, and we DEFINATELY will be going 'trick or treating' seeing as Halloween isn't really celebrated in New Zealand. I might have to under pack in anticipation of the extra baggage weight coming back from all the candy!!!!

Cant wait to see what the new post is for this week ty for last weeks

It's Friday, and you know what that means.....



It’s time for the Theme Week Friday Countdown to Halloween Time!!!

...Only 7 Days Until

Halloween Time Begins at Disneyland Resort!!!!

​

And with the new week comes a new Disneyland Resort Halloween theme!!

As you know, I'm going to showcase a particular area of interest of DLR's Halloween Time festivities each week until the 2012 merriment officially begins on Friday, September 14!! It is a good way to keep the photos rolling in on a regular basis and build anticipation for 9/14! Also, it's a way to display the different aspects and details of the Halloween season at DLR that may be totally new to some people...or previously unnoticed/overlooked by others.

Last week we enjoyed some frightfully tempting Treats & Treasures around the parks. The week before that we visited the spiritual Dia de los Muertos display in Frontierland. Before that we strolled along Main Street and enjoyed the Pumpkin Festival, as well as many wonderful window displays. The week before that we celebrated Autumn with a trip to the Scare-Dy-Crow Shack and admired the intricately carved character pumpkins tucked away at the Halloween Round-Up. Prior to that, we took a little trip into the twisted mind of Jack Skellington and his Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay. Including today’s theme, there will be 8 more themes to come over the next month: 2 weekly Friday countdowns for 9/7 and 9/14, and 6 “mini-themes” – one each day, from 9/8-9/13, leading up to the season’s start date.

In the Spotlight this Week......

MICKEY’S HALLOWEEN PARTY
(including Halloween Screams fireworks,
the Costume Party Cavalcade,
characters, decorations, candy, special souvenirs, etc.)!!!​

Part of what makes Halloween Time at Disneyland so unique is Mickey’s Halloween Party in Disneyland - an exclusive nighttime event filled with ghoulish goodies, costume-clad characters, a creepy cavalcade, devilish dancing, eerie effects, mysterious merchandise…and even a few Halloween Screams…

Unlike previous theme weeks, I don’t have too many photos from Mickey’s Halloween Party to share, so I will leave that up to YOU!

Spooky sights…

Alternate ideas you can use for trick-or-treating!

A different design for a bag…

That same bag…when it’s glowing and twinkling!

This popcorn bucket and/or a lantern can either be used to light the way through the treat trails, or it can be emptied out and used to collect goodies!

Mickey's Halloween Party Pins...

​

Please feel free to post your photos of Mickey’s Halloween Party all this week!!!!!

I will be doing mini-daily themes every day from tomorrow, Saturday, September 8th, through Thursday, September 13th – but please continue to post MHP pictures all week long if you have them!

Halloween carnival takes over big thunder ranch jamboree at disneyland park.

From the disneyparks blog.

There’s something new this Halloween Time at Disneyland park, and it’s happening over at the Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree in Frontierland. That’s where you’ll find a magical Halloween Carnival filled with fun for the whole family, with favorite Disney characters in Halloween costumes, special Halloween entertainment, amazing pumpkin carvers, activities, holiday merchandise, yummy treats and even the Disney Villains!

You can make your own Halloween mask at the craft station, and then join Mickey Mouse and his pals in a “Mask-Parade.” Try your hand at carnival games, like tossing rings on a witch’s hat or spinning the Crystal Ball Fortune Wheel to seek your own happy Halloween fortune. Everyone’s favorite Frontierland musical group joins the fun, too, as Billy Hill and the “Haunted” Hillbillies take the stage six times a day for a round of appropriately spooky tunes, all done in their inimitable bluegrass style.

The highlight of the Halloween Carnival is sure to be the Magic Cauldron Sideshow. Dare to venture into this tented area, and you may be asked to help cast a magic spell, conjuring a Disney Villain from his or her realm to meet your group before returning to worlds beyond. Disney Villains fans will want to visit more than once, since you never know which Disney Villain might be summoned each time. Sounds like a real “scream!”

The Halloween Carnival at Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree opens September 14 and continues most days through October 31. Please check the park Times Guide for daily operating schedules.

I'm mikey, woo hoo! It's fun that they are adding new things to Halloweentime.
Thanks for conjuring that up for us.

Ooooooh! Any time I see the word "new" in association with Halloween Time or Christmas time, I am all ears (no pun intended)! And Halloween Time, especially, needs a boost.

So this blog is interesting - it sounds as though the Villains will probably not be at the IASW spot if they are going to be at this "Carnival." I don't think DLR would put the villains at the Carnival if they were also at the IASW spot, but we'll see.

Notice that at the very end it says "continues most days through October 31." "Most days"? Why not every day? That makes me wonder if certain activities might not be happening at the Carnival/Jamboree some of the time. Hmmm...

Also, it sounds like this is still the "Halloween Round-Up" of years past, but with extra stuff and a new name. I hope they still have just as many carved pumpkins in that spot, as those were a real highlight.




Thank you so much, Mike, for posting that new info!


And a big thank you to Bret for the wonderful MHP photos so far - I knew you had taken a lot of pictures, and would be a fantastic contributor to this theme!

So this blog is interesting - it sounds as though the Villains will probably not be at the IASW spot if they are going to be at this "Carnival." I don't think DLR would put the villains at the Carnival if they were also at the IASW spot, but we'll see.

Maybe it's "most days" because the villains will be there on non-party days? That would make sense to me. You could see a random villain on a non-party day and then the whole group of them would be out for the party.

I'm not sure what the "most days" means. I'm very confused by it! It may simply mean that not all of the Carnival's entertainment will be happening all day long, every day, simultaneously. There may be moments when visitors miss one thing or the other, like they could pop in to the Carnival and see Billy Hill but not see a Villain, or vice versa. It could just be a statement by Disney to 'cover their tracks,' let's say, in case some element of the Carnival's highlights is not there at random times.

The Villains have never been party exclusives - they are always out every day during Halloween Time. It's just that, this year, I can't tell if they will still be at the IASW photo spot (as they have been since 2009), or if they will become a little more 'elusive' and only appear at this Carnival (and at the party, of course).

Well, one thing we know for sure is that we only have one week (I can't believe it's only one week!) until we find out - if not by seeing it ourselves, first hand, then we will know from other folks' reports what exactly is going on with those Villains and at that Carnival!




Oh, and thank you to TheZue for that great info from Vacation Planning! I'm so glad to see that they make such festive Halloween baskets and themed in-room celebrations!

According to the Disney blog, the Hillibillies are staying at the roundup for Halloween.

Sherry, i think you may be right on this

i don't think the villians will be at IASW this year, becouse that area is now used for the disney princess meet & greet.

Oh that's right (I never even think about the Princesses so I totally blanked out on their meet & greet!)!

Yep - you're absolutely right, Mike. No villains at IASW. So Disney had to find a place to put the villains every day, and the Round-Up was the next best idea I suppose. Hence, the "Carnival" was born!

Putting villains there is a good way to lure people back to that area - I think that a lot of folks have never bothered to go back to the Round-Up and see all the cool pumpkins. Now, if they know they will meet villains, they will be more likely to go.
