HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[Abbey1]

Has anyone seen the Halloween demitasse this year? Or are they not making them this year? I was really hoping to buy one- they seemed like such a cute souvenir!

Hi, Sherry!!! I cannot believe I finally had the time to look at your Halloween thread! AND it's already 253 pages long!!! Wow!

As usual, your thread is very informative, intensive, & has great photos and articles.

I saw on the DL AP email I got today that DTD on Halloween has some event? Does that mean trick or treating at some stores?

TIA!

am going the final weekend of Halloween Time and have tickets for the Thursday night MHP on the 29th (I was too late to the game to get tickets for halloween night). I had all my plans in place until the released the Mystical Spirits dinner. Husband is a HUGE BB fan and really wanted to do this, but I didn't want to waste my precious party time on thursday to go to the dinner. I just decided to take a leap of faith and called the Premium Events coordinator and she hooked me up with seats to the Mystical Spirits dinner AND MHP tickets for halloween night! I couldn't believe it! The dinner package was saying it was sold out on halloween night already online, and of course the party has been sold out for weeks now.

We will be there at MHP on the 29th as we also missed out on Halloween. I have to ask being so green to this site: what is a Premium Events coordinator?
Enjoy!!

Just a little update on some of the seasonal offerings...

Poison apple souviner mugs are sold out resort wide (in 3 days...) and they are unsure if they will be getting them back in stock.

The newly debuted specialty drink served at Carthay, Cove Bar and Steakhouse 55, the Poison Apple-tini, is also sold out resort wide, however they are expecting to get more alcohol in stock, just unsure about when that will be.

The mug I get, but running out of alcohol in 4 days and not being able to restock seems a bit odd to me... Our server today said they were expecting to sell about 50 a day but went through 600 in the first three days. Still, with 600 that would only be 12 days worth of stock...

She should have no problem getting the Monte Cristo on the 30th. From what I could tell, they are only serving lunch on MHP days. The dinners those days are the special Mystical dinner.

I had not made this connection. Thanks.

I'm skipping September next year! My word it was nuts! We tried to shop at WOD Saturday night and you literally couldn't move! AND Monday seemed more crowded than the weekend!

That does not fill me with joy. It is only 6 days now until I arrive at Disneyland. At least I am doing a VIP tour with friends on my first full day there so I can get the rides out of my system.

The newly debuted specialty drink served at Carthay, Cove Bar and Steakhouse 55, the Poison Apple-tini, is also sold out resort wide, however they are expecting to get more alcohol in stock, just unsure about when that will be.

I hope that they restock this sooner rather than later. I was rather looking forward to trying this.

That's crazy. This is not Disney's first rodeo. No way should these things be running out already. They should be working with their suppliers way ahead to make sure they can get quick restocks. If you don't go in the first few days you lose out??

Alcohol is on a scheduled delivery so if they run out they have to wait for delivery. You can't just go to a liquor store and buy alcohol for a business, sadly that's not how liquor sales licenses work. It's actually illegal to buy it from a liquor store (because they can't tax the crap out of you)

Has anyone watched the Hocus Pocus Villian Show that Disney World got this year? Seriously best show I've seen and I really hope Disneyland tries to add it at some point!!!

This was so awesome! Thank you for sharing it! I hope that they find a way to bring it to Disneyland, and also that they continue to do it at WDW, so we can see it. Hocus Pocus is one of my hubby's favorite Halloween movies, right after Nightmare Before Christmas.

Yuppers, that's why I said early dinner, cuz technically, it's a LATE lunch ressie.

Boo at the Poison Apple cups being sold out! I was hoping to get one! Maybe they will have more back in stock by the time we get there. Here's to wishful thinking!! Does anyone know if the glowing "ice cube" lasts for longer than a few hours? Is it battery operated??

 

[tlovesdis]

That poison apple thing was super popular! I saw tons and tons of people carrying it around this past weekend!

So we are at the parks for 5 days and 1 Halloween Party- should I bite the bullet and get the Photo pass? that means character photos, ride photos, the special shots etc right? Darn the 30% mark up of our Canadian dollar! Will there be special Halloween shots?

I would. I think it's worth the cost to get as many of the "professional" photos as you can from them! I am only going to be there for 2 days and I got a photopass.

I forgot to mention that there are two big Halloween stores that just opened up last week here in Orange, CA. One is called Halloween City. I'm not sure about the other one. They both might be the same store. I will check it out soon. I will try to walk up there this week sometime and take photos for everyone.

I haven't seen that one yet, but the other glow cubes are battery operated. Not sure about how long they last but they have a button to change colors or turn them off.

Watching HMH on youtube to get myself even more excited!

 

[Abbey1]

I like the vampire Mickey popcorn bucket! Funny that they posted about the poison apple steins on the blog when they are already sold out!

I may have missed this in trying to read through this awesome superthread, but have they announced or does anyone have the heads up on any Mickey's Halloween Party specific merchandise? Do they even do that at DL? I've only ever been to MNSSHP in WDW, so this is a new thing for me.

 

[lorijohnhill]

Has anyone that is already there noticed if they are selling the vampire Mickey buckets yet? I really want one, and was a little concerned by the mention of it being available "later"...

I will post here what I posted in my Christmas/Holiday Season Superthread... My Internet is acting up. It was down all day, then was working for 5 minutes, then went down again. It is working now, obviously, but I don't trust it. Seeing that the source of the problem was not identifiable or apparent to the Time Warner guy, no real troubleshooting could be done. I just have to hope that it stays on -- but if I disappear for a long stretch of time, or you don't see me popping in with pumpkin pandemonium news or links to new blogs and articles, you'll know that my Internet undoubtedly went down and I can't get here.

Here are some links:

I think the demitasse mug -- as it had been known in the past -- was discontinued last year. That was the dessert served in a Mickey pumpkin mug or Donald pumpkin mug. Last year those mugs were suddenly gone and some new steins were added in (and the steins were not nearly as cute, needless to say). This year I have no clue if there is anything similar to what the demitasse used to be.

Hi, Sherry!!! I cannot believe I finally had the time to look at your Halloween thread! AND it's already 253 pages long!!! Wow!

I'm glad you had a chance to make it over here and join in the fun!

I have not checked my email today, so I didn't see the email. What does it say about DTD and Halloween night?

We will be there at MHP on the 29th as we also missed out on Halloween. I have to ask being so green to this site: what is a Premium Events coordinator?
Enjoy!!

To be honest, I wasn't sure what the Premium Events Coordinator was either!

The running out of alcohol does seem strange. It's clear that it is a popular drink -- you had it and said it was good, so it seems like everyone else is catching on.

That's crazy. This is not Disney's first rodeo. No way should these things be running out already. They should be working with their suppliers way ahead to make sure they can get quick restocks. If you don't go in the first few days you lose out??

It does seem that way -- if you're not there in the first few days you could miss out! I am very surprised at the fast sellouts too.

So we are at the parks for 5 days and 1 Halloween Party- should I bite the bullet and get the Photo pass? that means character photos, ride photos, the special shots etc right? Darn the 30% mark up of our Canadian dollar! Will there be special Halloween shots?

Yes, there should be a couple of Halloween magic shots that you can ask photographers for (as well as non-Halloween magic shots), and then at the party there should be special PhotoPass spots set up -- with and without characters.

I may have missed this in trying to read through this awesome superthread, but have they announced or does anyone have the heads up on any Mickey's Halloween Party specific merchandise? Do they even do that at DL? I've only ever been to MNSSHP in WDW, so this is a new thing for me.

There has not been any new party-specific merchandise announced as of yet -- that will probably come closer to when MHP starts. In the past there have been some things (shirts, pins, the usual sorts of souvenirs), but they don't always seem to stay "exclusive" to the party. Sometimes they are sold outside of party hours.

From page 1 of this thread, this is a post dedicated to merchandise -- http://www.disboards.com/threads/ha...hp-nights-now-sold-out.3270919/#post-51326933. Look under 2014 and you will see a link to a blog about 2014 MHP merchandise, just to get a sense of the kinds of things to expect this year.

The Parks Blog mentioned that the buckets would be sold starting in early October.
