HalloweenTime at DLR Info and Photo Superthread #3

[laura&fam]

I have a question. I had a CM mess with my cat wig on the 9th. She asked me if it was real. I didn't like that but, I didn't want to be rude. Should I tell another cast member next time if it happens again? This was at the treat trail where the Monorail is.

Sorry I know you worked really hard on your costumes. I would say next time be very matter of fact back. Tell her, firmly, that you spent a lot of time on it and you would appreciate it if she wouldn't mess with it. It might save someone else from having their costume messed with. Hopefully it won't happen again.

I have seen it at World of Disney in Downtown Disney. Not sure if they have a dressing room, but you can go into a restroom to change into it after you purchase it. You might want to call ahead to make sure they have it, and possibly hold it for you.

 

[iKristin]

Yeah I'm going to go back to my hotel and change for the party before it starts

 

[Susiesark]

We did this! It worked very well and it was a great atmosphere with all the fog and decor. We then went up and had some food at Hungry Bear, headed towards Splash, hit a couple more treat stations and then rode Splash b2b.

That is why I buy my tickets within the first week or 2 every year. I know they won't sell out that soon, but I'm not taking any chances. I wait for months for them to be released.

We arrived today safe and sound. So excited to hit the parks tomorrow!! We got a great surprise when we arrived at PPH they upgraded us to a suite..this is going to be a great trip. Id like to thank everyone on the boards for all your knowledge and insite.

Does everyone here follow the Halloween Time and Mickey's Halloween Party pages on Facebook?

I happened to notice on those pages last night that there are lots and lots of people posting about frantically trying to get MHP tickets for various dates that are sold out. I don't recall seeing nearly as many of those posts in the past. It is really remarkable. Even with the extra MHP night added in this year (11 nights instead of 10), the MHP has been selling out left and right.

I have noticed that too. I noticed that almost all the party dates are selling out. Last night there were only 2 parties not sold out.

Actually, I do. We went to MNSSHP last year too, so these are our costumes from then. I'm changing my top, but other than that, it's the same.

I didn't know there were pages dedicated to those specific events. I'll have to check them out. I ordered the tickets the first day we could for my family and my sister's family. They are not able to go because her husband had a last-minute business trip, so I just gave their tickets to some people at church. (They had never been to MHP and were trying to nail down some travel dates for October.)

I had no idea the parties would sell out like they have. Then again, we haven't gone to one in the last couple of years. Was it like this then?

Oh, and just because I can and I'm here. We leave tomorrow!!!!

sh00tfire -

Yep - only 2 nights left. When I last checked, those 2 nights were still available but I kept thinking that at the rate they are selling out, there will probably only be one night left very soon.

All American -

Yes, indeed! There is an official Facebook page for Halloween Time and a separate one for Mickey's Halloween Party! And there is also an official page for the holiday season too, but I forget if they call it "Holidays at Disneyland" or "Disneyland Holidays."

That was really nice of you to give the tickets to the people at church - I'm sure they'll have a great time!

The tickets/parties did not sell out at quite this pace in the last couple of years. This year seems to be very unusual in that way, and I have to believe that it is partially due the Villains being limited in the daytime but more available at the parties. If people want to meet the Villains, they won't have as much access to multiple Villains under the new set-up at the Carnival/Ranch/Round-Up/Jamboree, so they have to buy party tickets.



What I wonder is - if the DLR hotels hold some MHP tickets for their guests to buy on the day of the event and the guests don't buy up all the tickets, what happens to the unused tickets? Do the ticket booths suddenly start selling those tickets at the last minute, as soon as they become available, or do those tickets never get used?

 

[Kilala]

I did noticed that there were no sold out signs posted outside D'land on the 9th. I wonder if the booths had tickets.

 

[Davids-Coco]

What is the likelyhood that they are just not releasing as many tickets?? Create a bigger buzz?

I certainly hope not. I've seen the christmas parade and the fireworks before with regular park admission. I won't be paying extra to see them in the future. Unless Disney does something super fantastic for their Christmas party or the tickets are discounted for AP holders on the days that we're going, I think I'll be skipping the Christmas party, if it ever comes to pass.

I"ve read reviews of WDW's Christmas parties, usually they say do it once but not a "every trip" event.

I am in agreement!!!
This is our first Halloween party (our usual visits are at christmastime). A couple years ago we visited WDW at Christmas and I was shocked that you had to pay for the holiday atmosphere. We were there a couple weeks before Christmas and it was business as usual. Next to no decor, no holiday parades, no "snow" on main street. Everything that makes Christmas at Disney so special.
The talk of dwindling Halloween decor, only holiday fireworks and parades during paid events. Is this a sign of what's to come with Christmas? The only way to truly enjoy the holidays above and beyond already expensive entry?

So I am at a loss for what to do about the top to my costume. I posted a picture the other day of how I wore it to WDW, but that top was cheap and ripped a bit, so I was trying to replace it. I though, I'll buy a real corset (the other one was more like a top). Well, it turns out my shape is not made for corsets. So do I just buy that same cheap one again? Or look for something different all together? *sigh* at least I have 2 weeks I guess...

I don't know, that top from last time is really cute! And it looks great with the green skirt. Looks like it fits perfectly too. How bad did it rip? It only has to last 8 hours.

It kind of shredded right at the seam right in the front in two places. At least it happened when the party was over. lol It's only like $25 and still available on amazon...maybe I'll just click it. Thanks for the compliment!
