Hello there!! I'm a newbie to the Disboards!!! I've been stalking this page (please don't take out a restraining order!!) and LOVE all of the ideas, info, and especially the Pumpkin Pandemonium!!!! It has been very informative and helpful!

My husband and I are going to DL halloween weekend!! WOO! We don't have kids but we are kids at heart so I'm very excited to go!

I'm THRILLED to see the carnival is gonna be there!!!!

What I really came on to do was report my Pumpkin Pandemonium purchases today- Pumpkin Spiced Oatmeal & Pumpkin Spiced Granola!! YUM! Can't wait to try them!! I've had the Pumpkin Spiced Lattes, the Pumpkin Spiced M & M's, & Pumpkin scones! Love all the things holiday themed!

I am LOVING this quote from the MiceChat article!!

"Meanwhile Disney California Adventure feels almost neglected in terms of Halloween. There is some spooky fun to be found though if you look real close. There is also word that Aladdin will be closing due to an early frost."

The carnival!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!

Though it also mentions that you can conjure a villain (aka the Conjure a Villain tent), but I thought we got official notice that Conjure a Villain would not be happening this year?

I thought so too! Obviously we'll be finding out more as the day goes on, but I wonder if they were getting so much flak they decided to bring it back one last time?

Maybe! The pictures micechat posted don't show the conjure a villain tent, though. Actually they don't seem to show any of the "carnival" aspects, just decorations.

I'm going to stay skeptical so I'm not disappointed if it's a fluke lol

Oh boy! Getting chills of excitement just looking at them!!!

Regarding Pumpkin Pandemonium

DUDE! Jack Skellington cake pops?!! Awesome!!!

I love how this article starts out:
"It’s the most wonderful time of the year for me! No, not Christmas silly. It’s Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort!"

Looks like the micechat report was just edited. Basically says there is no carnival this year.

Now this was just plain cruel dangling the carnival in front of us like that!

 

[focusondisney]

I just followed the provided link. Only thing I see says " has NOT been " decorated into the carnival.

I had a feeling they'd just copied and pasted last year's report.

 

[rwhistler92]

Looks like that area is just big enough for a Halloween Party meet and greet.

 

[jammyjam25]

Dang! I knew it was too good to be true. I do like all the decorations around the ranch area at least.

 

[haileymarie92]

I knew there was something fishy with that micechat post. Especially after Erin at Disney Parks Blog confirmed no carnival.

Mice chat article specifically states no carnival:
Back in Big Thunder Ranch we see that the Festival arena has NOT transformed this year into the Halloween celebration we have enjoyed for years. The magic show, face painting, crafts and pumpkin carvers are all sadly missing this year. Could this be an early sign of preparation for Star Wars Land, or merely a cutback?

Talk about an emotional roller coaster...

Apparently the article was edited between the time it was posted and the time we read it.

It was. When it was first posted, it said the Halloween carnival was back with games, crafts and villain conjuring.

In fact, it seemed more convincing because they also noted that the pumpkin carvers would not return, but that the carnival was.

Well BOO! I'm not surprised
