HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[lorijohnhill]

Oh, and I was told that Big Thunder Ranch is the in-park location for the party wristbands.

Happy Halloween to the ppl attending today's Party!!!

Who will be the first to report? So excited!!!!

So many things that I'm curious...

1)The Map
2)Entertainment guide, Cadaver Dans still on Rivers? Any last minute surprises?
3) AP Trail?
4) MSBB
5) What area will they use for the VIP seating for the ppl who did MSBB? Are they gonna reserve some of the main spots in front of the castle for this new area?
6) Toontown Preparty
7)Candy and Healthy options available!
8) Dr Facilier exclusive for MSBB? or also available for M&G.

I am very curious about the AP trail, as I didn't know it existed! lol

I would like to know the healthy versions of the snacks too. Please

Whee are the main villains, like evil queen?

Any cool foods not reported or any reported that were sampled?

And yes, more about the pre-party....

Erin said on the Parks Blog (when replying to someone who asked about Fantasmic's return), "While it is too early to give an exact date, we expect it will be more than a year." That would likely mean more than a year for ALL of the Rivers of America attractions (Pirate's Lair, Mark Twain, etc.) to be closed.

So, as I asked here last night -- and no one answered me -- with a torn up Big Thunder Ranch and no Rivers of America in 2016, will 2016 be the year for Mickey's Halloween Party to finally move back to California Adventure? During MHP, the Big Thunder Trail is usually chock full of atmosphere -- fog, creepy lighting, etc. If the Ranch is under construction and just a big mess, chances are they won't want to draw people's attention to the mess by leading them back there where the fog and spooky lighting would be.

And RoA plays a big role in MHP as well, with fog blanketing the water, and all kinds of fun lighting -- not to mention the Cadaver Dans floating along the river. If it is drained, it would kind of ruin the whole effect!

So... looking ahead... would Disney still have a party in Disneyland, even with 2 major atmospheric areas of the party not present? Or will they move MHP back to DCA and throw in some new Halloween decorations (finally!) as well as a Halloween World of Color?

Those of you heading to Mickey's Halloween Party tonight -- have fun! Please, please, please report back to this thread! There are people waiting to see the map, hear about the Mystical Spirits of the Blue Bayou event, hear about crowds at the party and about the AP Treat Trail for this year, and there are some people who only follow this thread and won't necessarily see 10 other new threads if they pop up. Also, it will be a lot easier for me to locate bits of info that people ask about in the future if the info is concentrated in one thread. I can find it much faster than if I have to go hunting for multiple other threads. I'm still waiting for someone to report back on the Happiest Haunts Tour in this thread, and no one has!

We will all be waiting with baited breath for the first MHP reports, so please come back and tell us how it all went.

I read somewhere else (another site) that there are no Party-specific foods this year. There usually are only a few party-specific foods and drinks -- not many. Supposedly, this year there won't be -- but you'll be able to get most of the regular fall/Halloween Time treats and foods at the party.

 

[mummabear]

Apparently it's just because of free dining though.. Hopefully anyway.
I was only just able to pick up a Minnie but without Fantasmic.

Free Dining wont have any effect on teh dessert parties as you cannot use your credits for them. It is making it hard to move any bookings around though, everything is booked solid.
We booked Minnies without F! as well, there is no way we wanted to eat dinner at 4 or 5pm (here in NZ that would be fine but with the time difference its way to early)

2)Entertainment guide, Cadaver Dans still on Rivers? Any last minute surprises?

In regards to the Cadaver Dans... I saw on the Disneyland App that they have them listed under entertainment with the location in the Rivers of America. I'm hoping that means they aren't exclusive to MSBB!

I posted in another thread that the popular Poison Apple Mugs were available at Mortimer's (among other places), as of yesterday, September 24th - http://www.mousewait.com/disneyland/lands-talk/648295/The-Poison-Apple-mug-is-going-fast-I.

ToonTown's entrance has Halloween bunting and pumpkins once again this year, to greet guests of the pre-party - http://www.mousewait.com/disneyland/lands-talk/648402/ToonTown-Train-Halloween.

In case you missed Priory's mention of this, the MahaloWeen event at Trader Sam's is back again this year - https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland-hotel/trader-sams-mahaloween/. It's $150 per person. I love the Trader Sam's themed pumpkin!

And... these pumpkins -- which were not at Haunted Mansion Holiday a few days ago -- have been put in place - https://www.mousewait.com/disneyland/lands-talk/648299/Pumpkins-They're-Baaaaaaack.

​

By the way... am I the only one who doesn't really like the look of the poison apple mugs/cups? I want to love them, but... they underwhelm me, for some reason. Maybe I will love them when I see them in person, but in photos I think they look kind of... I don't know... cheaply made, maybe? To me, they seem like they could fall apart easily.

 

[pudinhd]

Sorry! I am at work and too lazy to do the quotes. :/

I also do not like the poison apple mugs... But I like the poison apple glow "cube"!

I loved MHP when it was at DCA and would love to see what they would do if they decorated it for Halloween again!! Would it be possible for the Cadaver Dans to float along the water in Paradise Pier??

On another thread someone posted a MHP sign stating ToonTown would be closing early for MHP! I think that is pretty good confirmation and can't wait to hear if they have special characters!

Yes, the ToonTown Pre-Party is happening (we knew that prior to today, as someone was kind enough to confirm it in this thread for us) -- there is a reference on DLR's website to Car Toon spin closing at 5 p.m. - https://disneyland.disney.go.com/attractions/disneyland/roger-rabbits-car-toon-spin/.

I'm glad to know I am not the only one who doesn't care for the poison apple mugs. It looks like the skeleton part of it could fall apart or break quite easily. I don't know -- I just don't like the look of how they're made but they may look better in person.

I don't know if the Cadaver Dans would appear in DCA. They seem to be Disneyland-specific. Maybe a new singing group would emerge.

Happy Halloween to the ppl attending today's Party!!!

Who will be the first to report? So excited!!!!

So many things that I'm curious...


3) AP Trail?

For Annual Passholders, the Main Street Opera House will host a special trail (5pm-11pm weekdays, 6pm-12am Fridays).

Hey all!! I called earlyer this morning about the 19th party and they are sold out even over the phone. This is great news to me, the last 3 night left of MH have a lot of tickets left. Odds are that I will be able to snag a ticket for the 22nd. I'm also eating the Pumkin patch ice cream from Dryers. Me and my mom wehn to Target earlyer this week and we got everything that had pumpkin in it including the pumpkin Oreos and those are really good

I thought there were 5 nights left of MHP? I just checked the MHP section of the website earlier to see if any other nights had sold out, but the website was only showing 12 sold out nights.

I'm glad you scored some pumpkin goodies! Thank you for reminding me about the Pumpkin Patch ice cream. Whenever the Pumpkin Patch ice cream comes out, so, too, does the Peppermint Wonderland ice cream! So I have to hightail it to a store to see if I can grab a carton of pepperminty goodness!


(By the way, for those of you who are unaware, the Pumpkin Patch ice cream and the Peppermint Wonderland ice cream made by Dreyer's/Edy's is the same pumpkin and peppermint ice cream that Disneyland and California Adventure serve during Halloween Time and the Holidays, respectively.)

 

[row]

I may need to cancel or switch the dates for my trip. Anyone have any suggestions on where to sell the party tickets besides eBay? They're for the 29th which isn't even sold out yet.

 

[only hope]

I've seen them before, in past years. I don't know what this means for this year and for the entirety of the Halloween Time Season, but on this list - http://www.parkpennies.com/penny-machine-locations.pdf - it says, as of 9/15/15, "Sorry, Haunted Mansion / Nightmare Before Christmas coin presses are not currently onstage."

The Parks Blog did a piece about the other (non-HMH) pennies a while back too - http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/bl...or-the-disneyland-resort-diamond-celebration/.

Thanks. Too bad there are no special Nightmare Before Christmas coins, I love that movie.

Well this is strange. On the site, a bunch of dates that were shown as sold out, are now showing as available!

10/5, 10/12, 10/14, 10/19.

Edit:
Now 10/5 shows sold out again

I hope they didn't sell more! An overcrowded party like how WDW's are would not be much fun. We don't go to the parties at WDW now, they sell far too many tickets.

 

[Alohagirl73]

On our way to the party. Stuck in traffic of course. Can't wait to go. I don't think we will make the pre party at Toon Town unfortunately. Will try to report back tomorrow or next day!!!

 

[FireflyTrance]

I am also now worried about them opening up party dates again and overselling the tickets. One of the big reasons I wanted to go was to hopefully be able to ride some of the rides without the 1 hour + wait I am used to. Do they ever post the amount of tickets that are available for each night?

 

[Sith]

Here's something else for Pumpkin Pandemonium.

 

[mrsw94]

Are there any signs that Jack is not appearing during the day? They are out all the time now.

There was some speculation that once the parties started, they would become a party exclusive and no longer be out during the day. Fingers crossed they are wrong!!

By the way... am I the only one who doesn't really like the look of the poison apple mugs/cups? I want to love them, but... they underwhelm me, for some reason. Maybe I will love them when I see them in person, but in photos I think they look kind of... I don't know... cheaply made, maybe? To me, they seem like they could fall apart easily.

Yeah, I thought the same things. Wasn't thrilled with them.

I didn't snap a pic, and this may have already been mentioned, but I saw Bagels (I think Thomas's) in Pumpkin Spice at Target today. ALMOST bought them, but am trying to watch my budget!

I ment to say that Thursday, October 22, Tuesday, October 27, and Thursday, October 29 have alot of tickets left for those 3 dates. I don't know about the September dates.

 

[adamkat]

Whoo-hoo October 29th is our date. I am so excited we leave in a month!! First time and our wedding anniversary! EEEEKKK Can't wait for reviews!
