HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[mummabear]

I wonder if Disney is hatching a plan such as "Let's start Halloween at both WDW and at DLR on the same day

Pity it doesnt come with WDW style announcement date...

They need to hurry up with dates cause I'm buying my Hogwarts robes in prep for the party!

Maybe today is the day? Disneyland website on the MHP section is different today. Saying it's sold out now (which I know isn't possible since they haven't even gone on sale yet) but all it's been saying is check back closer to event date. Part I'm worried about it says from sept 14 to oct 15. That mean the parties won't start until October this year?? We have our tripped paid for and booked banking on recent years that it starts the last Friday of Sept, which is when we are going, and the last day we are there (sept 25)

was being hopeful for party information yesterday and bought my materials to make our Minnie Halloween ears and shirts. still need to buy the tulle for our tutus but waiting for a good sale on that! still haven't booked anything for our trip since I'm using points for hotel and airline and will be adding to that during our trip in a couple of weeks, won't book until early August.

No, I don't think that Disney would take away party dates in September. The parties are so popular that I'm pretty sure they will only add dates in Sept/Oct. I wouldn't be too worried!

I agree. With almost all parties selling out last year (including those in September), I don't think they'll take party dates away.

I agree! But, it is very exciting some text on the webpage changed! Fingers crossed that today is the day!!!

I did find last years post from July 2nd (my bday) but it seems comments are closed so i wasn't able to say "Hey what about 2015?"

The funny thing is that now, under random Parks Blogs about any subject -- could be WDW, the Candlelight Processional, Tokyo, Diamond Celebration merchandise, etc. -- people are leaving comments about Halloween/the Halloween Party and asking about the dates. So all of the writers (some of whom have nothing to do with Disneyland) are getting the questions about DLR's Halloween festivities.

It seems like the parks blog is holding back information on everything this year! A bunch of us on another thread are still waiting for the medals to be revealed for the Disneyland half marathon in September. Typically that's been posted by now too. I need my Halloween information AND my medal info. This double wait is killing me!!

It's good to see you back here with us again this year, Davidg83! So it's not just the Halloween news that they are delaying. Interesting. Is the medal info normally out by this time?

Are you still at Target? If so, make sure to let us know what new seasonal goodies appear in the store! I remember that last year you got certain things in stock ahead of time, but didn't put them on the shelf until a few weeks later.

I've Only done this party once a few years ago and did a September Tuesday- and even that was sold out. Taking the grandkids again and wondered if there have always been Tuesday parties? Want to do maybe the last Tuesday in Sept. Hoping to find out soon because I've got lots of planning to do! I'll. Be hoping for a heads up from Disney Visa...
Of course tomorrow would be a good birthday surprise for me! Just had to say since there were other July birthdays out there. Happy birthday to you all!

Happy birthday!!!!

There are usually Tuesday night parties, with an exception or two. For example, one Tuesday party might be swapped for a Monday party instead, but I don't know if that will happen this year.

You won't have to wait for news from Disney Visa. The Disney Visa people will be able to buy their tickets at the same time the AP holders and Disney Vacation Club people buy theirs -- but you will have to call the ticket number at DLR and order them that way. That's usually the only way to get the Disney Visa discount applied, unless an online system has been set up this year that can apply the Visa discount. So we just have to wait on a blog from the Parks Blog.

The sudden appearance of any changes happening on the Disneyland website generally means that announcements are afoot, and they are gearing up to add in the info to the site. So I think you're on to something. It IS weird that it says September 2014 to October 2015! That's one loooooooong Halloween Party! I think it's just a mistake. I doubt that the parties would start in October, seeing that they're so popular. Of course, never say never, but I think they should still begin in September. Let's hope!

I can't be the only one who was unreasonably upset when logging into fb this morning and seeing DPB posting an update on Christmastime happenings at WDW when we still haven't gotten our Halloween info, right?

You're not the only one! I would have been happy to get some Disneyland Halloween OR Holiday season news instead of WDW holiday news, but I'm tired of seeing Halloween/holiday info for every other Disney entity and not for Disneyland!

Did anyone happen to see Disneyland Today's annoying, vague response to someone's question about the MHP dates on Facebook? Their answer was: "Keep your eye out on Disney Parks Blog for an announcement coming later this summer!"

Later this summer? What the.... I mean... How much later can it be? They don't know what they're talking about at Disneyland Today -- I am convinced of it.

It had better be "later today" or even "later this week," but later this summer is unacceptable!

 

[Oswald23]

If there is a pattern we have 2 blogs to go today. I think today is not the day either.

 

[iKristin]

Yep...

 

[Oswald23]

This answer is like, we know something bad but we are not gonna tell you So we are not to blame.

Sherry do you see an option they would skip the parties? I mean a real option?

We my not be seeing the same thing but I cant see any changes on any of the Halloween time, Mickeys Halloween Party or party ticket pages

I really don't think so. I think there is too much money to be made on the MHP tickets. Even if they cut a couple of dates out and had fewer parties than last year, or even if they had to adjust some of what is offered at MHP to allow for the 60th entertainment, I think they would still go forward with the parties. Chances are, if anything, they'd probably add some dates to the line-up.

I do think that there is a direct correlation between Erin's absence from the Parks Blog since Friday, and the lack of a Halloween/MHP announcement. It could very well be that she has been on vacation, or that the dates and info have been sitting on her desk, waiting to be announced. Or maybe she has been working on a post, but waiting for a final detail to add in. She hasn't posted anything about anything since Friday!

The "September 2014 to October 2015" was there earlier -- I saw it too. It was in the Special Events tickets section - https://disneyland.disney.go.com/tickets/events/. However, someone went in and removed those dates. I figured it was a mistake, as it made no sense!

That's sort of promising. I really want to get on some possible itineraries but I suspect touring plans having to guess on dates is messing things up.

 

[PlutoRocks]

Ugh! Still nothing?! This is the first year I've gone during Halloween time so I am anxious to see what all the options are and am hoping there is one during our dates. Unfortunately, our dates are not flexible due to work/school schedules but we shall see...

Disney Floral and Gifts start delivering the Halloween 2015 gift packages to the resorts on September 11. Means nothing in the big scope of things. Interested start date though since it was one possibility for Halloween Time to kick off.

That was mentioned here on Friday, by another helpful DIS'er (lwanthony) - http://www.disboards.com/threads/ha...ween-time-2015.3270919/page-148#post-53971377.

At first I thought it was telling, but I realized that some of the holiday season items will be available for delivery on 10/30 -- and we know for a fact that the holidays are not starting on 10/30.

Opps...I can't keep up with 152 pages.
