You're very welcome!

The Halloween Carnival is one of the main hubs of activity during the Halloween Time season -- there are a lot of things going on there!

So Space Mountain is now showing as closing on Monday 8th.
Pleased we are planning on heading in after dinner on the 7th to watch Magical so will take DD4 on SM then, I'm worried she will be too scared if its SMGG.
Although I'm honestly not sure about whether the first day in the park being so late will make it less exciting for the kids.

So excited... the Skywalker's and R2D2 are Spending 12 days at Disneyland, going to the Halloween Party and relaxing with our deluxe APs. We have been trying to arrange Halloween time since 2008 without success. Great deal of 20% off at Ramada Maingate left us enough money to book 2 nights at PPH for our twentieth Anniversary ! So excited. 1st AP, 1st Halloween, 1st DL hotel and 1st time eating at Blue Bayou. Pure

That's great to hear, Kris!

Twelve days is a long time! Wow!

I didn't realize that you had never stayed onsite before -- for some reason I was thinking you had.

Since you have an AP now, will you be heading back for another holiday season trip before the year is over?

Just curious, noticed it currently shows no fireworks the 12, 13 and 14. Does anyone know if they perhaps are showing the Halloween fireworks those nights?

Disneycanuk --

Are you referring to the 12th, 13th and 14th of September? If so, that's a Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and those nights should feature the regular, non-Halloween fireworks.

October 12, 13 and 14 would be Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Regular fireworks should run on 10/12 and 10/13 (Columbus Day). Halloween Screams would run during the MHP on Tuesday, 10/14.

The Halloween fireworks should only take place on Mickey's Halloween Party nights, as that's part of what MHP guests are paying for. The only situations in which Halloween Screams might or could run unexpectedly, on a non-party night, are if Halloween Screams gets postponed/cancelled on a party night due to weather/wind. For example, if wind were to cancel Halloween Screams on Tuesday, 10/14, it would be possible -- though not definite -- that Halloween Screams might run unannounced on Wednesday, 10/15.

You are right (I was about to post that it was there but just 2 F! each night)
I would except (hope) it will be added shortly. They don't need to close it to prepare for Halloscreams.
I am expecting it to be RDCT.

 

[Disneycanuk]

ya sorry was referring to Sept 12, 13 and 14 as October wasn't posted yet on their calendar. But ya they have everything else like Fantasmic and the parade but no fireworks

Hope its just not updated yet and they ad it, was looking forward to it for my family first time to Disneyland!

Disneycanuk --

I think it is a case of Disney just being slow to add to the calendar, but I am fairly certain that the non-Halloween fireworks will run as usual on 9/12, 9/13 and 9/14 -- assuming there is no wind, of course! The wind will shut the fireworks down if it kicks in. Hope for no wind!

Even when Disney gets the DLR calendar updated, it's not always completely filled in or correct! (That happened last year during the holiday season.)

Awesome thanks for the help.

Yeah I don't quite feel like I have done Disney until I see the fireworks.

I keep seeing info about stuff I love but will miss this trip since we're just going to MHP. I need to keep reminding myself that 6 hours at Disneyland is better than nothing and LEGOland will be fun too. At least I'm getting some time at Disneyland!
