OMG!!! I don't know if I can sleep nine more nights let alone keep my secret because of your pictures Sherry!!!! I am so excited!!

Kilala, We were just in the parks, and got to see the new Halloween bags. They are $10 and quite sturdy. My daughter broke her backpack with so much candy the first year, so we are looking for strong handles this year as well. I approve of these new bags.

That's great!!! I will try to get one in DTD before I leave for WDW. I hope they have them there

Sherry great yummy treats photos. On the bags The one I saw was green and black and it was around $5. I will go to DTD and see if they have any of the bags for sale

I hope they still have them the first week of January. I am hoping that because it is still "Christmas" the first few days we are there they will still have them.

I'm just waiting for RDCT fireworks and it was nice to see the Halloween decorations at DL. It almost feels like there aren't too many pumpkins in MS.

Sherry - I went around NOS to find the gingerbread cookie and I wasn't able to find it. Unless I didn't asked carefully, it must have been available only during Villains Unleashed from yesterday only.

Here are some pics from today including some treats.

Wait? DOONEY HM? AAAHH,, how did I miss this? and here I was ready to spend all my money on the new Vera Bradley bags!

Thanks for the treat photos!


So my DH keeps telling me they pass out bags for TorT? Is this true or are they for sale?

I think they pass out bags but everyone says it's not big enough for the loads of candy you get. The idea is to buy or bring another larger bag to put candy in when the give away bag fills up.

Although the Villain Event was so crowded and an unorganized mess, I had a great time with Sherry E, enjoyed the Halloween decor and treats and meeting other DIS'ers at the meet. Wish there was more thought put into this event. I mean, the Disney folks started promoting this early this year. They must have had a clue it was gong to very popular (Villains always bring a big crowd) and planned accordingly. Ok I'm done for now.

Whats in here? Mints?

I was curious what was inside the tin myself, so I picked one up had a look. Gummy worms.

Great pics, Bret!

I love this piece. It really captures the character (At least what I know about Olaf) so perfectly. It was one of my favorites.

Oh I forgot to post this:

When I went to buy the Villains T-shirt, the shirts were sold out. Good thing I asked a CM about the shirts. The CM told me the shirts were available for a limited time on Disneystore.com/parkevents site. I just checked and they are still available.

You can go here to order: ''Unleash the Villains'' Tee for Adults - Disneyland

There is a Walt Disney World one, too.

Good morning!
I have a question about HM. Didnt they have a gingerbread house as the center piece last year. I remember them having one but Im not sure if it was last year or the year before. Wondering why they would repeat themselves so soon.
Love all the photos. This is our Christmas year so wont be there for Halloween this year.
Thanks!

 

[tksbaskets]

Great pictures everyone! Sherry I see what you mean about the frosting. I loved looking at the treats and merchandise photos. Now I'm craving gingerbread....

The HMH has a new gingerbread house every year

In Sherry-E's tasty treats pic post, the one with a super and mummy on a stick, I think those are cake pops. Thanks for the pics

I am assuming you went to buy the shirt on Friday night... I also saw the huge line to buy the shirts that night. I am a little confused about why they would say they were sold out when I saw the Villains T-shirt at Port Orleans on Saturday morning. Apparently even the merchandise team (still wishing for the popcorn bucket!) had some confusion going on!

I also saw the shirt online and I think the deadline to order is Tuesday.

 

[Sherry E]

Okay, yesterday I posted some treats photos.

Now...let's get into the merchandise, shall we? This way you will know if there is a special item to be on the lookout for when you head to DLR for the Halloween Time season. If you know it exists but don't see it in one store, you can check other stores.

I think I will have to break up the photos into at least 2 posts, because I took a lot of them.

If I am not mistaken, tonight I will be sitting in on a podcast with the DIS Unplugged team (due to air later this week) as we discuss Halloween Time and the Friday the 13th/Villains event (madness).

Michele -

The pumpkin Mickey and the ghost Mickey seem to be sold every year. I'm not sure if that one set of Halloween toppers (in the sort of cylinder/tube) was sold last year or not. This was the first time I'd seen it, but it could have been sold last year -- or maybe I overlooked it in 2011.

​

Bret --

Thanks for posting your pictures! The Spooky Kooky Cookie was sold at the cart outside HMH and at the Royal Street Verandah, but it appears to have been a Limited Time Magic thing. It was delicious because I am assuming it was pretty fresh when it arrived at DLR.

I didn't even see the regular gingerbread cookies with mouse ears this time around, and they are usually on sale at Halloween Time. Maybe they are in stock now.

I didn't take the time to snap photos on Main Street because nothing looked all that different (as you pointed out) and I don't want to take the same photos over and over on each trip. I'll get back to Main Street and look more thoroughly in a couple of weeks. This past Friday I was focused heavily on the Halloween Carnival, the treats and the merchandise. And I also took some non-Halloween specific photos which will go into a TR. I didn't even go to the Dia de los Muertos display this time around (though I passed by it a lot) because, again, it's the same thing each year and I didn't want to repeat the same photos.


Kilala --

That mug in Bret's photos is the demitasse dessert, which has mousse in it. It is usually sold at Plaza Inn or Carnation Cafe. Probably Cafe Orleans too. There is also a holiday version of the demitasse dessert.




Goofy_Mom --

You're right -- cake pops! I hadn't even thought about cake pops (the Mummy Mickey and spider in Marceline's) and I couldn't see the little sign underneath them well because some other people walked up to the counter just as I was trying to get a better look at it.



Kiwigirls & Liza --

Yes, gummies in the Goofy tin! I didn't look at the bottom of the tin, but that makes sense!


Cheshirecatty & Kiwigirls --

Thank you for the nice compliment on the nighttime Halloween Tree/moon photo! I was lucky I got anything to come out even halfway decently because I was not in my usual 'zone' that I need to be in to get something to come out okay.



Thank you to everyone else who commented too (I may not have time to mention everyone, but I read all the posts)!

I own the Halloween Mug. It's super cute. I get a mug every time I go to DLR and that was the one I picked up the time before last (last trip I picked up a Jack mug and a Cinderella one for my mom).

Yes, at the Tower Of Terror shop. I knew it was madness at DL and heard they were sold at the TOT shop. I am not surprised they had some shirts out the next morning. I am sure the CMs were just as confused as the guests.

I am wondering if the merchandising team are having problems that go beyond the the Villains Event items. There was a Limited Edition pin of 1000 that was released on Thursday. The pin trading store in Downtown Disney only got 30 of them. The CM there was perplexed, saying that is very unusual.
