HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[Malia78]

I went to the party with a friend on Friday and we had a ball. The highlight for us was definitely Halloween Screams. We got a perfect view. We got plenty of candy, met some characters, enjoyed the Cadaver Dans performing. Pluto at Toon Town had a candy corn collar. We ate at Hungry Bear and there was hardly anybody there.

Hopefully I'll be able to duplicate your success on this coming Wednesday's party!

Sorting out our plans... SS parade, not a must do for us, but a nice to add in if we can... We have 2 party nights of our 4 nites there. And fly out too early on the last day to see the parade. I am going to bet that since the "crossover period" begins when the parade is happening that SS might be a mad house on party days? Unless... We go get a spot over by small world (we have hoppers) and try to see the start of the parade as the party people are just being let in at the front of the park? Otherwise it would be Wednesday 10/28 we would watch it? Thoughts on best way to go?

How long in advance did you have to claim your spot?

Cute outfit.

Thank you!

It's the first thing I've sewn, I just hope it's not too obvious that it is lol. Also I hope people will know who I'm supposed to be.

I was wondering on halloween night if there is anything to do in downtown disney or the hotels for us non party goers. Is there trick or treating for the kiddos? Just was curious.

You did a great job with it! I cannot sew to save my life -- so I appreciate anyone who can create costumes!

Well, the hotels have not been having anything Halloween-related on 10/31, as far as I know. They do hand out candy to trick or treaters on Halloween night, but I think it might be onsite guests only. I could be wrong about the onsite only thing, but they do hand out candy.

As for Downtown Disney on 10/31... not that I know of. If there is anything, no one has spoken up about it. Someone mentioned that this year there was supposed to be some sort of AP holder thing in Downtown Disney, but no details have come out about that -- and I don't know if it would include 10/31. Some of the individual restaurants might have something on 10/31, but I have not seen anything advertised yet (in email newsletters).

I will be sure to post here if I hear of anything.

I know that Tortilla Jo's in DTD should have a Dia de los Muertos celebration on 11/1 and 11/2, but I wonder if they would include 10/31 in it as well. There would be special food, music and face painting.

That is the sweet irony. We had watched Paint the Night further down near the Jolly Holiday Bakery and only got to our spot about 10 to 15 minutes before the fireworks started. We had tried to cross over to the other side and got stuck right in front of the castle.

Has anyone been to Big Thunder Ranch BBQ during the MHP? I have a reservation for 4:30pm on a party night and am curious if dinner was served or was it lunch? My family loves the sausage and they were asking...

Which direction was PTN running?

It looks like only lunch is available on party days, and 4:30pm is the latest time.

I haven't been there yet. This is just what I gathered from the reservation page on the Disneyland website.

Corinna --

When you get chance -- not now, as I know you are at DLR, having a great time! -- maybe you can add some insight or thoughts to this thread about Aulani/DLR combination trips - http://www.disboards.com/threads/dlr-aulani-combo-trip.3451056/. DIS'er sgrap is thinking of doing a DLR/Aulani combo trip, and I mentioned that you did a DLR-Aulani-DLR trip last year.

Ugh! My daughter slipped and fell tonight and now has a slightly sprained ankle (on day 3 of an 11 day trip). I'm REALLY hoping she feels better tomorrow. I have to use an ECV to tour the parks, so if she still can't walk in it, I'm not sure what we are going to do. She rode in my scooter with me back to the hotel tonight, but we can't do that all day tomorrow and going forward. Sigh. We are also supposed to go to the MHP tomorrow night. Wish me luck!

Oh no! I hope her ankle is better. Are you having her ice her ankle or elevate it? Poor thing. Where did she fall (which area of DLR)?

Sending good thoughts your way and your daughter's way...

 

[haileymarie92]

Oh no! Hope her ankle gets better! Remember RICE!!
Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

Oh no!
How old is she? Is she in much pain? Were they able to wrap it for her?
One trip DD3(well almost by about 3 weeks) ran around the water play area at Seaworld on the day before our DLR days, she complained about having sore feet and we made her walk back to the car because she had been complaining all trip about walking even 50 meters (lazy bum), when we got there I took off her shoes to give them a mommys magic kiss to find there were bleeding blisters from the heat on the black tar (yes parent of the year) burrning her feet while she was playing-she was unable to walk for days.

The hotel gift shop might have an ace bandage for her ankle. Also, CVS at Katella and Harbor has ace bandages and arnica to keep the swelling down. Hope she feels lots better by tomorrow!
