HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[Chris9ty]

It's now Wednesday and I still haven't received the email to choose our MSBB dinners for Friday night. Hmmm....
!

The second part of our email for the MSBB says '
The Shadow Man is requesting your selection of appetizer, entrée, and dessert to guarantee a most magical experience.
Please reply to this e-mail with a choice of each per Guest in your party at least 48 hours prior to your experience.'

Did yours say that? Our travel agent is handing it and replied with the selections.

Can't wait to read the reviews!

I got mine today at 10:23am! you have to choose all three...appetizer, entrée and dessert.hope you finally got yours! have fun tonight!

Apparently ours came at 10:23am too! I had been checking but it went to junk and I must've scanned past it. Oops!!

So excited for Friday!!

Actually I can tell you that the last of 19 people I spoke to regarding this EXACT same question finally gave me a straight up no way. The tour ends at 7 (if you're luck enough to get the 4pm) and 715. Any delay at all would result in it lasting longer etc. The dinner starts at 7, not at the 730 the website originally stated. She was the "premium events" lady that booked my MSBB and MHP tickets for halloween night and I wanted to do exactly what you're asking.

Forgive me, but that seems to be very poor planning on DL's part. It would definitely stand to reason that people would want to take the tour on their Party night, and then attend MSBB as well. I know we would have wanted to do that, had there been any tour spots open. If it were me, I might do it anyway (if they let you book it) and then gracefully bow out of the tour 10 minutes early to make the MSBB dinner.

getting ready to leave for airport, thanks to everyone, especially Sherry , for being so patient and helpful to a MHP noob.

Loving all of the reviews and links to reviews everyone! We are doing the October 27th party and are looking so forward to it!

Someone mentioned earlier about the Big Thunder Ranch BBQ not serving dinner, only lunch on party days. I checked my reservation for it on the Disney site and it's showing dinner....? Did yours show that as well when you made the reservation or did you book over the phone? My hubby will be pretty upset if he doesn't get the sausage and corn lol

If we go to the Halloween party and it starts at 6pm, but we go in at 3pm- when do you put on your costumes?

You can wear your costume starting at 3 when they let you in.


Over at california adventure right now but we will be heading to the MHP in a short while!!

It looks as if the 27th sold out too unless if the site is being weird

What??? That must have just happened. Let me go check the DLR site. It was not sold out earlier today.


Edited to add: I can't get to the MHP calendar. I could get there earlier today, but it won't let me go there now.

 

[mom2rtk]

OK, so I'm still toiling over our party plan, including fireworks viewing. If I want to be in the hub up near the castle, what time would I need to stake out a spot? I'm afraid I'm going to be told I need to sit there from the time the part starts, which is really a no go since it starts at 6 and HS isn't until 9:30.

 

[haileymarie92]

We're here!!

Fyi for anyone interested:
The wristbands are a different color each night. Monday was reddish and today is yellow. They also have the date printed on them! They all stick with the diamond shiny design, though! I'll let you know what color Friday's is.

The DL webpage is not selling any more MHP tickets. It says no tickets available. This was around 5pm.

Where are you seeing that, though? I can't get to any page that says no tickets available. I keep getting bumped back to the regular MHP page.

Oh, okay -- I see it now. I was going in through a different route on the DLR site and not going in through the way you guys went to see that no tickets were being sold. I was expecting to see the little MHP calendar with a "Sold Out" for the 27th, and it kept bumping me back to the main MHP page.

In any case, once again this year, only one night was left open (that was the second party night) and all others sold out!

I was on the DLR webpage (https://disneyland.disney.go.com/tickets/events/), clicked on special event tickets, and the first thing on the page was MHP without the usual arrow that lets you get more info. Now instead of the arrow, it says "Sold Out. Tickets for this event are no longer available for online purchase."

 

[Kilala]

I'm going to call them in the morning to see if there should be enough for me to get my ticket for the 27th. If they sell out on the phone before Friday morning then I'm only going twice this year. That means for next year I will go 4 days to make up for it

Can you call now? The phone lines are open until 8pm (I think). I hope you are able to get your ticket. If not, I like your attitude about next year!

I was just going through the Kenny the Pirate page about the Halloween Party and one of the characters really stood out to me. My favorite villain is the Evil Queen. Heck, she's my all time favorite Disney character......period! I LOVE her! When I took my daughter when she was six, she was absolutely amazing and gave us the most incredible experience that went far beyond a normal meet and greet session. The ones since have been pretty decent as well (just not as amazing as the first lol) but this one, I don't know if it's just me but doesn't she look far too young to be the Evil Queen? Maybe I'm just getting old but she looks like a baby lol The one we saw in February looked appropriately aged but I don't know, this one just looks so childlike. Is it just me?

 

[StyledSugar]

Okay, I have a question that is not specific to the Halloween Party, although after reading that review it made me wonder. Is Thor not in the park anymore? I see Captain America is out before and during the party but I never see anything about Thor anymore. Anyone know?

I booked dinner at 4:30 on MHP night for this Fri. It showed as dinner online. I got a call from DL Dining a couple days ago saying it will only be lunch now.
