HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

We will be doing the Sept 30 party also!!

 

[Jeff314]

Perfect! Stoked! Planned our trip far in advance for these dates to be how they came out. Last night of the week is the first party in sept. Woohoo!

 

[Metalliman98]

Finally! We will have three dates during our trip. Wonder if it would be a good idea to buy for two parties, do Halloween stuff at one, and just rides at the other? Only if the party activities keep the ride crowds low enough though. Can anyone speak to that? Not sure how many tickets are sold for these events. Might also be a good idea to have two dates in case of bad weather.

Really glad they are doing PTN too! And they said DF will be on non-party nights. Does that mean all non-party nights, or just weekend non-party nights, since it is off-season?

 

[Canadian Harmony]

YAY! We have two to choose from, but we're going for the 5th (DD10's 11th birthday!) vice the 7th (DD8's 9th birthday) because my kids would be CRUSHED to not participate the first night of the party.

SQUEEEEEE! Now to make sure there's more than enough $$$ on the credit card so we can purchase our tix. Hopefully the price is in line with last years'.

I'm glad they're incorporating the diamond decorations with the Halloween deco's. It can only add to the fun!

We won't be activating our APs until we arrive on September 22nd. Will I still be able to buy our tickets on July 22nd or will I have to wait for the general sales to open up on the 29th?

I could be wrong, but I think you have to have an active annual pass. Once you activate it, you add the code on your pass to your disneyland site login. So I think it has to be active.

 

[mom2rtk]

Do I have to have my AP registered somewhere or is it enough that it's just active?

 

[tkitty]

Yay! Now to find a room! Let the planning begin!

I would try on the 22nd and explain the situation. You may very well be able to purchase it as long as you have proof you have purchased the AP. I purchased my AP and MHP (with the discount) tickets in the same phone call last year. However, I paid for them with my Disney Visa, so I don't know for sure which discount code they used. I wasn't aware, at the time, that there was a Visa discount, so I thought I was getting the AP discount.

At any rate, I would call. The worst case would be you call again a week later.

 

[lorijohnhill]

They should be able to take your AP number over the phone. I don't know about you, but there is a technical issue with my AP on the website, so I can't access the AP section there. I have to do everything over the phone.

 

[CassieScraps]

Whoot! There are 2 dates on my trip! My Disney Visa is registered on the site, but I don't know how that works. Guess I can call and buy tix once I decide the date I want. Historically, do the party times get listed when the tickets go on sale?

 

[haileymarie92]

Depends on if you call and buy tickets or buy them online. If you get them online through disneylands site, you'll need to make an account and link your AP to the account.

I will give that a try. Thanks!

Yay I'm so excited!! Three party nights to choose from and one on hubby's birthday. I hope they don't sell out before I can buy one on the 29th. Does the first week of party's sell out fast? I'm hoping for sept. 28th (hubby's bday) 30th or oct. 2.

Does anyone know when tickets go on sale online on July 22? Midnight? When have ticket sales opened historically?

 

[Sherry E]

I was waiting to comment because I knew there would be a sudden flood of posts and mine would get lost in the shuffle until the excitement calms down.

SO I will say this -- I will be following the sellouts of the dates as they happen, as I did last year. SO IF YOU SEE THAT A DATE HAS SOLD OUT, PLEASE POST IT HERE SO I CAN UPDATE THE FIRST PAGE!!!! I will be adding in the red "Sold Out" notations to page 1, next to each date (after I add in the dates).

Remember, too, if you are new to Mickey's Halloween Party, there is an MHP FAQ on page 1 that will tell you almost everything you need to know -- or at least, the most sought after info. I am going to change the dates and 2014 info to reflect the 2015 info, but everything else should still be applicable.

I'm glad to see that Halloween Time/MHP looks like it is business as usual, except for the Cavalcade.

Also, I like the idea of "special sparkling Halloween décor." There is no way they are going to not decorate for Halloween and for the holidays -- and I realize that some of you are looking at the 60th anniversary trip as a once in a lifetime thing, but some people will only be able to visit for Halloween and the holidays once in a lifetime as well. So Disney is not going to turn its back on those people. They'll strike a balance that will hopefully work for everyone who has their heart set on seeing the blue bunting!

I want to make it clear to people that what you copied and pasted from what I typed is in reference to 2014's parties. I don't want anyone to glance it quickly and think that it is referring to 2015 (it could easily happen)!!
