[Kathymford]

does anyone know if they will be selling tickets the day of, at the booth?

The ticket booth won't have tickets to a sold out party.

Kilala I love your cat trying to go for the treats!

Would you mind if I used the sold out sign photo in my scrapbook? I didn't even see that so I didn't get a photo of it.

Thanks for the replies..it's just our family went last year and that event was sold out as well, but I remember seeing people buying tickets at the booths that night.

That cat is my cat Kilala. No I don't mind. I think I got one on Tuesday too.

I cannot wait!! We are flying down on Monday for Halloween week. We are going to the Halloween party on Halloween (I am going as a jedi and DH is a star trek science officer).

I am looking forward to snacking on all the delicious Halloween treats and seeing the sights. I checked and the seasonal menu at Cafe Orleans is going through the 3rd. I am doing a happy dance.

Of course, I have a TON to do between now and Monday am's flight..and here I sit on my computer. LOL. I am kinda at that "too much, don't know where to start" state. I have people coming over Friday night for a night of gaming (DH does not want to cancel) and we are celebrating 2 of our friend's birthdays this weekend so I have to make a cake. Saturday is another gather for Halloween with friends...why oh why did I do this to myself.

I did take tomorrow off work so I can get stuff done before the guys show up tomorrow evening.

I will post pictures when we get back. I know it will be post the season, but hey...still fun pictures of DL!!

Considering how much packing and cleaning I need to do to leave on Sunday, it's crazy to take time to ask, buuuuut what specific brands/kinds of candy are being handed out at the MHP? Any Reese's cups? Snickers? M&Ms?

They have all 3. They have 3 kinds of M&M's, Pretzil, plain, and peanut.
I wish they had peanut butter M&M's. I saw those at Target this year.

Was at the party last night - SO MUCH FUN (besides the cancelled fireworks)!

Got there just about 7pm when they were starting to clear main street of day guests, so it was less crowded further into the park than the madness that was main street. It was still crowded elsewhere but not as bad - wouldn't want to have been around during the 3 hour overlap!

Tricks or treat lines moved quickly and some further into the park had no queue at all. Ended up with 4 pounds of candy (according to my portable luggage scale)! There was a huge variety: twix, snickers, reese's cups and bars, tootsie rolls, lollipops, milk duds, skittles, whoppers, Hershey bars, crunch, dots, milky way, almond joy, sweettarts (and more). They also had craisins, apple slices, carrot pieces, and dried apple crisps (these were amazing - I asked for them whenever I saw they had them!) the line that went through the golden horseshoe was great, there was a guy playing the piano in it!

Fog on rivers of America was cool, as was the cadaver dans singing there. Spiderwebs in the castle and eerie lighting too.

Calvacade was good, fun - just the right length for me but then again I get bored during parades...

Ride lines: walked on Pinocchio and buzz lightyear. 5 minute wait for big thunder mountain. During the middle of the party haunted mansion had a massive queue, but when I went back at 11.45 it was a 5 minute wait. Pirates had no wait when I went (boat was half empty and boat behind was completely empty) but had a long-ish queue when I left. Splash mountain had no queue at 1159, but decided I didn't want to get wet so skipped it. Was going to try for space mountain but it was 25 minutes so decided I'd rather do big thunder mountain.

All in all a fantastic evening - would do it again in a heartbeat and so glad I came (hope I have enough luggage space for the candy!) now off to cars land...

Sounds great! Any word why the fireworks got cancelled?

I'm sure the fireworks got cancelled because of all of the wind warnings.

There was also a big power outage in parts of Anaheim yesterday (or overnight Thursday into Friday) - not sure if that would have had an effect.

Even though the wind was not heavy in certain areas and it was crazy in others, of course the weather people hyped it in advance. It didn't turn out to be bad last night - not as bad as predicted - but it may have been just windy enough to cancel fireworks.

turbo86-- I was at the DLH last wekend. The front desk told me they would not be selling "sold out night" party tickets at the park only at the hotel front desk if you are a guest of the hotel. I think that included all three DLR hotels.

Yesterday, when I made my December reservation for the PPH on the phone, the CM told me that "1000" tickets to the MHP had just been released to the 3 hotels for the few remaining party nights (including last night, I guess). In other words, the 1000 tickets were spread out between the 3 hotels and offered to guests - not sure how many were available for each night. She said that Guest Services had been telling people that tickets would not be available at all, not even at the hotels. If the 1000 tickets are not all snapped up and there are some left over, it's possible (though not definite) that the extras may be released to the ticket booths for last minute purchases - but the hotel guests have first crack at the 1000 tickets for the last couple of MHP's.

Maybe it's just me, but 1000 seems like an awfully high number since they already sell so many to the general public.

Winds apparently. They showed the Halloween fireworks last night though (instead of remember dreams come true). And last night was far more crowded than during the party on Friday - on Friday I turned up to (try to) catch the fireworks just about 5 minute before and the was still space at the hub; last night at about the same time people were backed up all the way down main street!

Sorry. One member of our party couldn't come due to illness and it's sad. You miss them. Take lots of photos and have fun and tell him all about it.

So I skimmed through the entire thread, and maybe I just missed it, so I'll just ask. Are there any party-exclusive characters out for MHP? We are going tomorrow, and I just feel so unprepared!!
