Just curious about the candy.....I've seen so many wonderful yummy chocolate candy, just wondering if they hand out suckers? DS4 loves suckers! He always picks a sucker over any other kind of treat! Even cake or ice cream, lol. TIA!

In regards to the suckers -- it sounds as if there are no Tootsie products in this year's stash o' treats, from most reports, but in the past there were always Tootsie Pops (along with every other kind of Tootsie product) handed out at the parties.
I think that a lot of the Tootsie stuff went to waste -- people take it out of their bags and just leave it in random places around the park...and when that happens, it gets thrown out. The CMs don't look at discarded Tootsie Rolls or Tootsie Pops sitting atop ledges or tables or trash cans and think "Hey! Let me put these back in with the candy we are handing out at the stations!" Anything that is discarded and left somewhere -- no matter how good of a condition it seems to be in -- has to be considered as trash, and it gets tossed out.
So, therefore, I am guessing that a whole lot of Tootsie stuff got tossed in the trash and perhaps Disney decided to not spend money on something that was often tossed out? Bye bye Tootsie Pops.
My wife and I went on 9/28, it was so fun! Decor was great, first time going during any holiday. Haunted Mansion was a great surprise. Space Mountain was out of order, but hope to ride it in a few weeks. My favorite was all of the halloween merch and the fall colors on main street and center hub, along with the main entrance. I'm already excited for Christmas at DL!

I replied to your previous post in this thread a couple of pages back (not sure if you saw it). I think I was asking if you were going to get an Annual Pass.
If this is going to be your first holiday season trip to Disneyland coming up and you want to see the 3 hotels' decorations and everything in full holiday mode, go after Thanksgiving. If you don't care about the 3 Disney hotels' decor and just want to see the 2 parks decorated, along with all of the holiday entertainment, go on 11/15 or after (11/15 is when the holiday World of Color begins, which is why I specify that date).
And be sure to come and join us in the Disneyland at Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread, which is a bonanza of info, photos, discussion and fun!
Went last night and had a GREAT time.
Family of 5 with, 9DD, 7DD, 2DD.
Space Mtn was great!
Rode a bunch of rides without much wait, 20 mins or less.
Hit most the Candy trails, brought home a insane amount of candy.
The only down part was the huge wind meant no Fireworks.

I wondered about the wind at DLR. That's a huge letdown and bummer for people who paid for MHP tickets so they could see Halloween Screams, only to miss out because of weather.
On the news the reporters kept saying how windy it was -- of course, they purposely go to the windiest parts of Southern California just so they can look windblown and messy as they tell us how bad the winds are.
The funny thing is, I live in L.A. and I saw no wind at all in my area. I was waiting for it. I was even excited about it because wind seems very Fall-like to me. I kept the window open, waiting for my curtains to start swaying. Nothing happened. No wind in this area.
I've mentioned to people in this thread and elsewhere that October is one of our strangest months for weather in SoCal (November and December are kind of unpredictable too) -- you never know what you're going to get. Last night it was wind, apparently.
Today and tomorrow it is supposed to be above 90 degrees in Los Angeles and "Inland Orange County" (including Anaheim), and very dry -- way too hot for October, in my opinion -- but by Thursday or so...we're down to a delightful 67 degrees (and possible rain)!!!! Yay!!!!! I love 67-degree weather!!! (Of course, it could change by the time we get to that point in the week.) Now we're finally seeing some traces of Fall! Wheeeeeeeeee!
Going from 92 degrees down to 67 degrees is the sort of strangeness to which I refer when I talk about October weather. It is always a surprise -- sometimes a good surprise and sometimes a not-so-good one, but a surprise nonetheless!
Any advice or things I need to know? Can we still trick or treat? It's just the two of us. I can probably whip something together real quick if I need to. Maybe zombies
Thanks in advance for any tips and advice!
Haha.
