HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[WallEve1086]

I apologize if this question has been asked and answered already but can annual passholders buy tickets for non annual passholders on July 22?

I think that Corinna/dolphingirl47 has some will call experience with MHP tickets, if I remember correctly.

My experience is going back to 2011, when will call was not an option. Because of this, I nearly missed out on one of the parties I had planned to attend as contrary to what I was advised, by the time I arrived at Disneyland, the party was sold out. This time round I am prepared. I have finally managed to register my annual pass online so I can make use of the print at home ticket.

Yes. On 7/22, a live link will appear on DLR website for AP holders to purchase tickets. AP holders may buy up to 8 tickets. The discounted tickets (or non-discounted ones) don't have to be purchased on 7/22 -- the discounts can be obtained any time up until the day before the party in question, as long as the party has not sold out. It's just that that is the date on which the tickets become available for purchase.

I think that Disneyland Forever will run indefinitely to some degree, on some sort of schedule, but it will eventually be cut back to the "normal" fireworks schedule (not nightly), and then the holiday fireworks will return in December 2016, more than likely. Abbey1 asked about "next December," which I assumed meant December 2016. If we are talking about December of this year, then I think that Disneyland Forever will run for the rest of the year and there will be no holiday fireworks.

Your right Sherry, it's funny I was reading the question as "will Disneyland Forever still be running after this year" even though the words said something quite different!

I hope that there are more parties that are not sold out this year on the weekdays. My friend Christine dosen't like heavy crowds.

Are there special magic shot available at the party? I know there is a Haunted Mansion shot with the hitchhiking ghosts but I do not remember if this an every night shot during Halloween time or just during the party.

Haha just found a pic of my husband's costume last year. He went as Willy the Giant. It was really fun but not many people got it, so he just looked like a weirdo in tights and red hair to most everyone, lol!

 

[theluckyrabbit]

He looks great! What was your costume?

 

[mommy2mrb]

opinions please....

we arrive late on the 1st, going to party on the 2nd (will spend day in DL) Saturday planning on DCA and Sunday not sure yet, will be leaving hotel around 3 for our flight. We haven't seen the new WOC but would also like to see Disneyland Forever fireworks, Saturday night is the only night to see them, know it might be possible to see both if we get hoppers, but if the schedule doesn't warrant that which one would you rather see?

TIA

So I will be attending the Thursday October 22 party for my birthday but plan to be at the parks before the party starts. I'm planning to wear a costume but this means I will have to leave the park at some point to change correct? Any suggestions for an easy wardrobe change? I unfortunately won't be staying onsite too. And will I be able to wear the costume the 3 hours prior to actual party start time? Lots of questions, sorry! It's my first Mickey's Halloween Party! Thanks in advance!

If your costume/makeup isn't too complex you could always rent a locker for the day and stash your costume there? And then change after 3pm (or whatever the time is they start letting party guests in)?

Did anyone notice that the MHP tickets page says AP can buy tickets now? It -says- that but I am an AP holder and it doesn't show an option for me to buy them. What the heck? Lol.

I think someone behind the scenes at the DLR website jumped the gun and put it up early! The link/section to order discounted AP tickets will go live tomorrow morning. Disney Visa Card holders and Disney Vacation Club members will have to order over the phone if they want discounts applied -- and the ticket lines should open up somewhere in the vicinity of 7 a.m. or 8 a.m., PST.

Do you know what time they will go on sale online tomorrow morning? I was wondering if they were going to go on sale online tomorrow at 12 a.m. PST?

I was trying to find a time stamp of some sort for you, from last year's first ticket sale date. I can see where figment_jii announced that the AP link had gone live - http://www.disboards.com/threads/ha...o-is-finally-in.3270919/page-34#post-51869368 -- but there is no time stamp on the post. It's in this same thread, though (just a lot further back). I am guessing it was at approximately 7 a.m. or 7:15 a.m. You might want to read through a few pages from last year, just to see what happened as people attempted to buy tickets online and/or call. The link to that section of the thread from last year is here - http://www.disboards.com/threads/ha...ead-4-2015-info-is-finally-in.3270919/page-34

I got another wig done for my costumes. I will have photos up by this weekend. I will be starting on painting the Halloween cat costume and start on the Demeter wig today.

What number should I call tomorrow morning? I am a Disney Visa Card holder.

Thanks

Anyone calling and ordering MHP tickets over the phone should use the 714-781-4400 number. This was also the number I saw mentioned in an email from Disney Visa, but it can apply for anyone ordering tickets on the phone.

Do you have any experience with ordering on a smart phone? If so, does it work well? We'll be heading down to San Juan Capistrano tomorrow, so was wondering about ordering online on my phone.
