HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[Sherry E]

I actually DID see the DL Halloween Time ad on TV. I think it was Monday or Tuesday evening....not sure what network....(ABC, likely). We just got back, so it was fun seeing the ad after seeing the real thing!

I still have not seen it on TV, oddly (only on YouTube)!

I did, however, see the hosts of The Chew talking about the abundance of pumpkin spice products the other day -- everyone seemed to be against the Pumpkin Pandemonium that is currently taking place. They don't want anything to taste or smell like pumpkin unless it's pumpkin pie.

Mario Batali was the only one of the 5 hosts who was in favor of the prolific seasonal scents and flavors -- he said he thinks it is a great thing to honor the seasons and put out different products for different times of year, instead of trying to have raspberry and strawberry things all year long.

In this special Passholder area, you’ll get to watch ongoing screenings of Halloween-themed Disney classics and enjoy a tasty treat.
No registration is required. Just present your valid Annual Passport and a Mickey's Halloween Party wristband valid for that day’s party to the Cadaver—make that Cast Member—at the door.

Note: Each member of your party over age 3 must have a valid Annual Passport and a Mickey’s Halloween Party wristband for admittance to this Passholder area.

Separate tickets to Mickey’ Halloween Party are required. Purchase your tickets now.


Location:
Disneyland Park – the Opera House at Town Square, Main Street, U.S.A.

Dates:
This Annual Passholder treat station is open on all 14 nights of Mickey’s Halloween Party this year:
September 26 and September 30
October 3, 6, 8, 10, 14, 17, 20, 22, 24, 27, 29 and 31

Time:
Doors open when the party starts (6:00 PM or 7:00 PM depending on the date) and close 1 hour before the party ends.

Interesting. I wonder if the treat will be the same as the regular candy being handed out on the treat trails, or if it will be unique.

The Sally Coffin Cake is at the French Market, according to my Disney Visa newsletter.

Look under Souvenir Sipper -- HERE.

Thank you Sherry. I forgot about your handy list. Pre-packing panic I guess.

From all that I have seen, the only things even remotely related to Halloween in DCA this year are the Halloween-ified version of the Mad T Party, the sourdough bread shaped like a pumpkin at the bread cart in Pacific Wharf, and the free samples of pumpkin chocolate given out at Ghirardelli (of course, there is Halloween merchandise in shops too)!

I think you should have enough time for what you plan to do. The Halloween Carnival (Ranch/Roundup) is a lot of fun, but it won't take all day. I'd basically do the same sort of thing that you're doing -- pictures, the Carnival and maybe a ride on HMH (instead of SMGG), and then the MHP.

Don't forget to visit the Dia de los Muertos display and the Ray Bradbury Halloween Tree!

Thanks Sherry! The tree is one of the big reasons! The day photos came out well but the night ones of the tree, the Grave Diggers on the raft and images on the buildings on Main Street not so well. Thanks again!

So I'm pretty sure the answer to my question is in this thread somewhere but I can't find it so....

Is there a pin that you can only purchase during MHP? Or just the pins that you can get anytime during the Halloween season?

Thanks!!!

Yes, there are MHP merchandise that will only be available during MHP. There will be regular Halloween pins at the parks during the Halloween season. But if you want to get the exclusive MHP pins, you will have to attend MHP to get them.

The 10th sold out! I'm not surprized since it's a Friday.

That's so bizarre -- I literally just looked at the MHP calendar/dates within the last 45 minutes and the same 3 dates were sold out that we already knew about. I saw nothing about 10/10! It must have just happened.

Folks out there who were planning to go on 10/10 -- remember, even though the DLR website says the 10/10 MHP is sold out, you have a small window of time in which you can call Disneyland and most likely still order tickets for 10/10 over the phone. Do it NOW though. Don't wait another 2 days to do it!

I'm pretty sure that hitchhiking ghost pin is going to manage to find a way home with me. Is there a particular store/cart that has the MHP merchandise during the party?

Sorry, just found the fine print at the bottom of the article that says exactly where to find the MHP merchandise!

 

[DisneyJamieCA]

Oh I'm excited by the MHP pins!

We saw our first Halloweentime commercial this morning - I believe during GMA. Or should I say my children saw it while I was busy getting ready. So technically I have yet to see one. It did make they all very excited for our trip!

 

[Ozland]

Has any one spotted the new demitasse cups yet?

Thanks for letting everyone know! I updated the tracking post on page 85. So now, 4 of the 14 parties have sold out...all of which are Friday night parties! I'm curious to see which party will sell out next!

I heard a Disneyland MHP commercial on the radio last night as I was driving home from work.

That gingerbread house looks so cool! I can't wait to see it!

Thank you for the info and link, just what I was looking for!

Hmmm... I'm not sure how I feel about Pumpkin Pie Pretzels and Pumpkin Pasta Sauce... ???

However, the Alexia corn and sweet potato products look good (and very Fall-like)!

And the Entenmann's Apple Danish Twist is probably delicious!

See all of the above products (along with Pumpkin Bisque, which is not all that unusual) -- HERE.


ETA: If anyone happens to spot Gingerbread Oreos this year, please let me know ASAP! I don't think I knew they even existed last year, but I have heard that out of all of the seasonal Oreos that exist for the Fall and Winter holidays, the gingerbread version is actually delicious and worthwhile! I must have it!

​

Jeri (if you're still out there!)--

Unfortunately -- and I have stated this in the thread before -- there is no selling of tickets or anything else allowed on this board, nor are posts along the lines of "I need to buy a ticket." No posts even hinting at it are allowed either, but I realize that people may not know it and may innocently post without realizing it is not allowed.

Every year it happens (someone needs a ticket or needs to get rid of/sell a ticket) and every year we have to delete posts or close threads because of it.

Maybe other forums/boards allow it, but we don't allow it here. I'm sorry!

The 10th sold out! I'm not surprized since it's a Friday.

There were still some tickets for the 10th available when I called this morning. I was able to buy two for those in our group who still aren't sure if they can go. Hopefully, I won't get stuck with the tickets.
