HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[momof6princesses]

Amazing the difference in MM when opening is 9am and not 7am! Saturday I was in heaven and didn't understand people saying how crowded it was. Now Tuesday and I totally get it! If you have a choice the earlier MM is way worth it even if you don't get your hair brushed!

We saw Pluto twice. Both times it was near the front entrance, across from City Hall (sort of where you can catch the double decker bus that will take you down Main Street.) This was on Thur or Fri of last week. We saw him there when we came into DL and then again when we left. Lines were forming and he was doing a meet-n-greet.

Regular Pluto has been out in town square, just no halloween Pluto at the Jamboree...

The Zero popcorn bucket is definitely sweet! Not sure if it was a one time thing but they were also selling them at the popcorn cart in the hub this morning just to the west of the Partners statue. We picked one up today and they had a whole container of them at that cart today.

Let me check my pictures to make really sure, but I thought we saw him at least once during the week of September 28. I thought I remembered cause my friend got so excited when we left the conjuring tent. She loves Pluto.

BigCheese --

I suspect that if you saw the buckets at the Hub this morning, they will be there until they sell out (so now through 10/31, or however long it takes for them to be sold). I have always had a feeling that certain items may start out at one or two locations only, and so those are the ones that are reported on and written about -- and then they pop up in other places over time. Of course, sometimes the opposite issue happens and the items disappear from locations too, but that's a different story!

I added your MHP review to the list of MHP reviews I have been compiling (which is linked through the MHP FAQ on page 1). I'm glad you had such a great time! It seems like most of the MHP reviews have been favorable this year -- there haven't been as many negative reviews as I expected, or as there have sometimes been in the past.

I went yesterday, so here are they hours they had listed for this week at least:
Fri to Sun, Tue & Thu: 10:30-5:30
Mon & Wed: 10:30-4:30

My friend and I went for a few hours last night; both our first time in Disneyland during Halloween. It was fantastic!!! We loved all the decorations, and we were both freaking out about HMH and SM:GG. Definitely going to make more time to go during Halloweentime next year.

 

[DrClinky]

Thank you Kayjin! That's perfect!!!!

The last vestiges of Pumpkin Pandemonium/Halloween Hoopla in the stores reveal themselves (courtesy of Spotted on Shelves/The Impulsive Buy and GrubGrade):

• Archer Farms' Pumpkin Toffee Cupcake Mix
• Archer Farms Pumpkin Caramel Streusel Blondie Mix
• Project 7 Sour Caramel Apple Gourmet Gum
• Free Krispy Kreme doughnut (including the special Halloween doughnuts) when you go to Krispy Kreme on October 31st, dressed in costume

And in Disneyland Resort Halloween Time fun, new today is the Parks Blog video of how to make a Pumpkin Twist. They're a little slow with this -- Tom Bell of DIS Unplugged already beat them to the "Pumpkin Twist-making video" a couple of weeks ago!

Has anyone seen the poison apple glow cubes? I'd like to pick up a couple but can't seem to find them....

I think they are supposed to be somewhere in FL...?

Cassie --

Did you check the places mentioned in this blog (from the Disney Food Blog)? Maurice’s Treats or the Small World Lemonade Cart.

ETA: You're right -- it sounds like that particular cube is only available in Fantasyland.

 

[CassieF]

I'm going today, I'll check those two locations! Anyone know if you can just buy the glow cube, or is it one per drink only...I want at least two
