HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[mgd]

I think some people are worried tickets sell out as soon as they are available. Please look at the records from last year posted above, and be comforted to know that you should have at least a month to purchase after release before sellouts happen. So I wouldn't wait until late august to buy if you know you are going, but chances are you will have a lot of time, definitely more than a few days after release, so no need to set your alarms, etc...

After obsessing over getting these dates for weeks, I gleefully pulled out my October trip planning calendar. As I stared at it, I realized this info is meaningless to me until all the other places post their dates. Lol. Still glad it's out though!

Last year, I read about MHP tickets being resold for crazy amounts. Quite frankly, I'm worried about scalpers buying up bulk amounts of tickets -- especially for 10/31, which is really the only date on which my family can attend. Is that a valid concern?

Good point, I will edit...

Thank you!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Honestly, this thread will move quickly and last year's sell out info will be lost in the shuffle and need to be posted again, OR the new dates will begin selling out and we will forget about last year. In any case, I've got the old sell out info saved in case it needs to be referenced after I get page 1 edited.


Just remember, everyone, to let me know if you notice that a date has sold out on the DLR website, so I can add in the bold, red sell out info to Page 1!

Does anyone have last year's price info? Been a few years since I've gone and we are thinking of going for my daughter's 16th birthday. Want to get an idea of costs. I am a DVC member so I think there is a small discount. Thank you!

So, I will be at the park on the 11th, until we have to leave for the airport at 3pm...
I will get to photograph the decorations "colliding! So cool!!!!!

So happy for all of you waiting for party dates, but a little bummed it's starting on the 11th. We planned Sept 11-14 thinking it would still be quiet and be before the halloween festivities begin. I hope it's not too crazy that weekend!

Happy Wednesday!!

I noticed the Disney Blog finally posted the information, but it showed up BELOW a post that had been online earlier. (I hope this makes sense!)

The prices and all 2014 info can be found in the MHP FAQ post on page 1 (3rd post down) - http://www.disboards.com/threads/ha...ut-halloween-time-2015.3270919/#post-51326916.

I am holding off on changing the info to 2015, but will be changing it within the next hour or two.

I thought I was imagining it when I noticed that the Halloween post was under another one I had just been reading (about Shanghai). I thought that my browser was doing weird things.

Wooo whooo they are having it on the 25th! I need to get tickets for that day since it is the only day we are there and they are having a MHP. Hoping since it is the first day it isn't a nightmare... So excited.

I'm so glad the start of Halloween Time is not going to interfere with my jury duty! I was totally, completely, utterly wrong for the last couple of years in thinking that Disney would not start Halloween Time on 9/11 -- but I don't mind being wrong at all, because at least my stupid jury duty won't be happening on that specific date!

Now, if the weather can just stay at a nice, reasonable temperature in September and not soar up to 100+ degrees...

What I am wondering, though, is why they are not beginning the Halloween Party earlier in September -- like closer to when Halloween Time begins? Why not start it on 9/18? They certainly did not add in an "extra 2 weeks of parties," as was reported by MiceAge last year. They only added in 3 extra parties from last year's 14 parties.

Oct 29th party here we come!

I'm not an authority on it so I should probably stop posting like I am , just going off of last year's info, but it looks like 10/31 didn't sell out until Sept 11. High priced resales probably didn't happen until after that. Anyone really worried should buy as soon as they know which dates they will go to, but I am just saying I think all tickets should be available for normal prices directly from disney for at least a few days after release, possibly a month or more.

I'm so excited!! We actually get to be there during Halloween in the parks!! This has been something I have wanted to do in forever!! I don't mind there not being the party while we're there. I'm a Villain girl and I'm going to get to see some!! This is so exciting!!

 

[Mommy2PrincessAbby]

The prices are up... And judging by the prices, the 27th (Tuesday) is potentially going to be a busier party than the 25th (Sunday) which goes against my gut instinct... There are no discounts for the 27th and there are for the 25th, which tells me that Disney expects more people to want to go to the Tuesday party.

Dapper Day and solar convention?

This was my guess too!!

Also quick note for those interested in seeing the Hatbox Ghost on Haunted Mansion, per Erin he will be included in the NBC overlay!!

Last Nov when we we're there for Thanksgiving it was in the 90's no joke! I brought 1 pair of shorts, on a whim, and had to wash them out at night....... it was CRAZY hot!

Are you going during Halloween Sherry?
