HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[Sherry E]

In "Pumpkin Pandemonium/Halloween Hoopla/Candy Corn Chaos/Caramel Apple Confusion/Fall Fever news"....

I forgot to mention that I think the new Pecan Pie M&M's are Walmart exclusives. The Pumpkin Spice Latte M&M's that Davidg83 showed us a photo of in this thread may or may not be Target exclusives.


Davidg83 mentioned the oddly named new Glade seasonal scent -- "Fall Antiquing." See it here - http://www.glade.com/en/fragrances/collections/limited-edition-fall-collection/fall-antiquing. I wonder if that one is a Target exclusive?

I happened to notice that Glade has a totally separate new Fall scent that is supposedly exclusive to Walmart this year -- it is called "Sunset Walk." See it here - http://www.glade.com/en/fragrances/collections/limited-edition-fall-collection/sunset-walk.


But... Glade doesn't want us to forget that Fall means pumpkins too, so they named their latest pumpkin scent "Pumpkin Pit Stop." Pumpkin Pit Stop? Are they running out of names? (Last year they had "Pumpkin Pie Diner.") That sounds ridiculous, though it probably smells great. http://www.glade.com/en/fragrances/collections/limited-edition-fall-collection/pumpkin-pit-stop.

Then there is "Apple Tree Picnic," which is a better name than Pumpkin Pit Stop - http://www.glade.com/en/fragrances/collections/limited-edition-fall-collection/apple-tree-picnic.


And, of course, there is the very Fall-evocative name, "Hit the Road." http://www.glade.com/en/fragrances/collections/limited-edition-fall-collection/hit-the-road.

Just bought our 8 tickets for 10/16! I know it's UEA, but DS(7) has a minimum day so we can head down at 1:00 without having to miss any school. I figure that a sold out party is a sold out party...so UEA shouldn't really matter. That's what I keep telling myself, anyway

That's basically it -- if it's sold out, it's sold out, and there shouldn't be any extra people in the park beyond whatever tickets are sold or given away for MHP.

So looks like I will have to squeeze in BTRBBQ this trip or it will be gone!

The tickets were so CHEAP

I don't think that will ever happen again

I wouldn't mind the party moving, pros and cons to both, my ideal scenario would have them doing parties on different nights at both parks...

I don't know if DLR could handle that much planning in the same year! But I would definitely attend both parties!!

[tjcrabb]

It will be interesting to see if this year's HHT includes seats for Paint the Night. In the past, they just charged a lot of money for the tour without any parade seats!

That would be nice considering the price was raised again this year... like everything else. I won't hold my breath.

Not to be crass but I would think most people would associate "pit stop" with a bathroom break on a road trip. So the candle is really called pumpkin pee?

What's UEA?

UEA= Utah Education Association. Its basically a UT school holiday. DL is a very popular place for Utahans to vacation so crowd levels are and can be affected by school days off.

We went to Bath and Body Works today, and not only did they have all their anti-bacs in the fall scents already, but they had the Halloween scents... we picked up Ghoul Friends and Vampire's Blood

Ohhh thanks for the info! That's good to know. Looks like our trip is two weeks before that, so I'm hoping for low crowds!

 

[stephanie22]

So we just got back from target and they had the glade fall scents out. The fall antiqueing one reminds me of my grandma, not fall lol.

Well 2 weeks before is Gay days so it is probably going to be a bit busier anyway. The second weekend is the CHOC walk so most of Oct is going to be popular.

We are there the week before gay days. Just our Friday will intersect, which is fine by us. Fiancé and I are both female, so it'll be neat to be a small part of gay days, even if it's just one day!

You read my mind! That's what I was thinking when I said that Pumpkin Pit Stop sounded ridiculous. I think of bathrooms when I hear the phrase "pit stop" -- not a pumpkin orchard or patch! Who wants to be reminded of pee?

Oh, I love Bath & Body Works' Fall and Halloween products!!! Even if I don't buy them, I love smelling them, looking at the packaging (which is always colorful) and reading the clever names (much better than "Pumpkin Pit Stop").

So we just got back from target and they had the glade fall scents out. The fall antiqueing one reminds me of my grandma, not fall lol.

And, it's not that there's anything wrong with grandma, but if you are going to buy a Fall-inspired candle or room spray, you want it to evoke visions and sensations of Fall! Glade is struggling this year with their Pumpkin Pit Stop and Fall Antiquing.

Did you see the Pumpkin Spice Latte M&M's?

Are there any "secret" candy spots at MHP that are not printed on the map? We have been to MNSSHP a few times and there are always secret spots that are not on the map but most of the CM's know about in advance....

I don't think it was a "secret", but there was a special treat trail just for AP holders last year. They gave out Big Hero 6 drawstring backpacks and a really cool frosted Rice Krispie Treat.

I hope they do it again this year. Star Wars backpacks would be awesome!

I don't know that there are necessarily any secret spots, purposely kept off of the map, but I know that people have often complained that the map doesn't show all of the treat trails or stations. The giant Mickey ghosts in the park usually mark an approximate start of a treat trail -- but take that very loosely, as sometimes the ghosts are not exactly where the trail begins. Once following the trail -- or even if you don't follow a specific trail -- look for the lanterns with Mickey's face stationed around the park. They look like earless Mickey faces, but really the "ears" are the hooks or whatever are suspending Mickey's face. Those mark the actual treat stations/stops with the candy and healthy treats. The Mickey faces/lanterns may be orange, white, purple and possibly other colors too.

No they didn't have the fall themed candy out. The glade candles and scents were the only fall things out so far. But I go to Target at least three times a week so I'll be sure to let you know when I see more fall stuff.

 

[wendyt_ca]

Since you can go into the park 3 hours prior to the party can/do adult guests wear their costumes then since it is before the actual party hours?

 

[rwhistler92]

Yes.

[jenhelgren]

Are there any face painting stations in DTD or the resorts near Halloween? My son is trying to decide what to be and one year we had a makeup artist do his paint before the party and it looked much better than anything I could do!!
