HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

I know...walking through the main gate and down Main Street had me so excited but the 90+ degrees at 6 killed any thought of fall! At least the 80's this weekend will feel good compared to the 100 degrees of today!

That will practically be an arctic blast compared to today! I had to go out and run an errand, and I specifically waited until the sun went down in hopes that it would be cooler. Even at 8:45 p.m. it was warm out. A breeze blew in my face and it was warm! Booooo! What is the use in having a breeze if it's not going to be cool?

Yes, that is the same issue I had. I tried calling and anything else and on Friday was told the event wasn't even booking yet, they couldn't help me. In the end I kept hitting F5 like a madwoman and eventually a table showed up.

I don't think there's a minimum booking. I could get table for 1 to show up fine any other dates but mine (28th) and Halloween.

Well, I finally did talk with a cast member and she said that they were having problems (I'm on a list so I'm not the only table for one that was trying to book). They are looking into this and will get back to me. I believe it has to do with the order of the tables being booked on line. Honestly, I would be okay if they treated it like a singles table on a cruise, just bunch us together and make us be friendly

Crisis! I cannot find my costume! I had a Mrs. Cap America costume that I wore to MNSSHP but I don't remember where I put it! Yikes! Would it be bad to wear a handmade Minnie Mouse costume? It's not fancy, but my Grandmother-in-law made it for me back in 2004...

Do it!! A Minnie Mouse costume would be sooo cute!! And a handmade costume makes it even more special!

That's what my boyfriend said too. "At least you'd have someone to take pictures for you if pictures at the tables are being done."

Here is another Press Release about Halloween Time (you will remember the previous one, which left us confused as to whether there would be a Monsters U dance party or a Superheroes dance party, as two different versions of the same release said 2 different things!!!! ) -- http://disneylandnews.com/2015/09/1...ss-to-the-sparkle-of-the-diamond-celebration/. Highlights from the press release include:

-- Details of the new gingerbread house in Haunted Mansion Holiday ("a leaning and careening 'house of cards'").

-- Monsters U Dance Party is once again being mentioned instead of the Superhero Dance Party that was originally mentioned.




A dose of pumpkin-ness for today:

Which is what I was thinking, instead of looking around for a cast member. Hopefully I will hear back soon.

hmmm... I was really looking forward to the Superhero Party.

I just worry that it might be too risque... Maybe I need a pair of black leggings to wear underneath the short skirt! hmmmmmm...

Black leggings (capris if the weather is warm, full length if cooler) would be great! That would also give you more confidence and comfort with moving around (getting in and out of low ride vehicles, sitting on a curb or the ground, etc.).

Is this too risqué for dlr (on the right)

I've seen outfits that were way more risqué (*eyeroll*), but it really comes down to what is comfortable for you to wear with lots of movement (e.g. at the Monsters dance party and lifting your arms on rides -- and I've seen people in tight, short costumes who discovered that their freedom of movement was not so free and rather embarrassing in their costume!) and in various weather conditions. The weather could be boiling hot (we've gone when it's been 85*F at 10pm) or pouring rain (yeah, we've done that, too!). For me personally, I prefer to wear more layers and remove them if I get too warm, than be bare and end up freezing.

In my opinion, the top may be on the border of "not especially family friendly." You might consider wearing a black tank under the top and leggings or tights under the skirt. I think that would be really cute and still allow you to be worry free about getting on and off rides, etc.

I would agree with this. DL will allow the costume at the party, but it could easily be made more family/child friendly and more comfortable for total freedom of movement.

Personally the skirt looks fine done the pic. But the shirt may be questionable. I personally would put a little white tank underneath the shirt. If unsure of skirt, a pair of black or white bike shorts would be perfect!

I agree! I am not a huge pumpkin-flavored food person anyway (I'd rather have the pumpkin aroma than the flavor), but I would never be interested in pumpkin spice sparkling water or caramel apple sparkling water! Maybe just plain apple would be okay (like cider), but caramel apple water? Uh-uh.


What do you think of the theme of the new Haunted Mansion Holiday gingerbread house this year? I must say, compared to last year's bizarre iron maiden theme, this year's house of cards theme sounds very tame by comparison. Last year's theme was a bit edgy for Disney.

Hello everyone! Hi Sherry! There is an outside chance I might be in town on October 10th, a Saturday. It's not a Halloween party night but there is only one paint the night parade and its at 10:45pm. Why is there no 8:50pm parade? Is there something going on I don't know about?
