HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[tjcrabb]

Okay so I have a conundrum. I have waited too late to book the happiest haunts tour, they apparently sold out at the 30 day mark. Do I have any options? I know with MHP they hold a few tickets back for onsite guests but we aren't staying on site even if they do. I wasn't sure earlier about finances or I would have booked earlier I did check all of the days we will be there.

DO you think they will have the AP treat for Halloween Night too?

Yes it will be the same for all party nights.

There are no Happiest Haunts tours for any of your dates? Hmmm.... Well, I can't think of any solution. I would have to imagine that someone will end up cancelling from at least one tour, but you may not find out about that until the last minute.

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?

Disney never reveals how many tickets are sold for each night. I suspect that some nights might involve the same number of tickets, more or less, and other nights will be different, and more tickets will be sold. I've always felt that the parties were too crowded for a hard ticket event, but some of the rides have very short lines (except for Haunted Mansion Holiday and Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy).

Yeah I may end up stalking the tours line via telephone and then once we are in the park

ToonTown pre-party area at capacity??? How is that possible? - http://www.mousewait.com/disneyland...ntown-trick-or-treat-area-at-capacity-Husband.

Yikes!!!!

That's not good.

That's not good.

Indeed, it is not good. Let's hope it's just a case of "first night novelty," and as the parties roll on through the season the ToonTown pre-party will not be quite as packed with people.

I've never heard of that location being at capacity!

Has anyone looked at the official disneyland app recently? I was killing time tonight checking ride times when I saw this:

It looks like the trick or treat trails have been added to the park map.

I can't get that to come up on my map! I put a search in for Trick or Treat and MHP (but I spelled it out) and just got one icon near the entrance. Is there a tip you can give me to find it?

Wow, that is crazy! The ride times are looking pretty good right now though, averaging 20 minutes. Space mountain is at only 30, splash 5. Now CA is looking very different 40-120 minutes, ouch! Obviously people are doing the meeting and treating instead of the rides.

DCA's lines are 40-120 minutes? Apparently anyone who wasn't meeting and treating scurried over to DCA!

30 minutes for Ghost Galaxy is not too bad. I guess it will probably get longer as the night goes on -- maybe. It sounds like everyone just flooded into ToonTown for the pre-treat! I have a feeling the AP trail will be hoppin' too!

Of course! On the bottom right there is an icon for list, next to the funnel. Tap that and an alphabetized list comes up. Scroll down to "T" between Toy story and tuck and roll drive 'em buggies. Also if you were looking at the map view if you tap a bubble with a star and no name in the disneyland section that is one one the locations. Hope that helps!

That's just crazy! I hope you are right. I'll be there on 10/23 and am looking forward to this pre-party and the MSBB.

Anyone seen news about the AP treat trail yet? Or the MSBB?

Not so far -- I am looking at a few different sites, including MouseWait and MiceChat. I am anxious to read the very first review of the MSBB event since it is brand new!

According to MouseWait, "...Also for Annual Passholders, the Main Street Opera House will host a special trail (5pm-11pm weekdays, 6pm-12am Fridays)." So I guess the AP trail opens one hour before the party technically starts!???

 

[haileymarie92]

Oh that's cool! So we can get our AP treat without using up "party" time.

This is the link to the page where I found that quote about the AP trail - http://www.mousewait.com/disneyland/lands-talk/648070/Mickey-rsquo-s-Halloween-Party-All-in-One. For some reason I didn't expect it to open early.

It also says "Treat Locations: This year, there are 14 different treat trails around Disneyland Park, including a special pre-party inside Mickey’s ToonTown starting at 4pm/5pm. Some new sponsors this year include Peeps and Werther’s Original."
