HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

I wouldn't put it past Disney to mess with the wait times on the app in an effort to redistribute the crowds.

Neither would I.

It wasn't on the app. They were the posted times at the ride entrances.

The app and Otto didn't work during the party because the park was technically closed.

Is there a place to dance in DL? What sort of music do they play? DH and I used to dance but getting back in slow after an unrelated injury

Swing Dancing on Saturday nights in the Princess Fantasy Faire. Way back when they use to call it Date Night at Disneyland. It is so much fun to dance there. All levels of dancers are there and everyone is invited to dance and have a good time.

I remember dancing in possibly a large gazebo? Is that this? We will maybe try to check it out, although it's our Fantasmic night and we are now kid in tow (older though- 11)

I can't remember if I asked these questions, or if anyone else has... 1 - Besides Mike & Sully, are there any other monsters at the dance party? 2 - Does the villains line remain long during the parade while they aren't meeting? I am wondering if that might be a good time to hop in for a shorter wait. Thank you!!

It looks to me that the official app continues updating wait times during MHP. I could be wrong, but I have been checking it and it looks that way to me.

DD1's Princess Tiger Lily costume is complete (basic I know), to match dd4's Tinkerbell and DD6's Peter Pan costume.

Still have her Olaf to complete for MNSSHP

My friends who checked only saw the dancers from the Pixar Parade they said.

The villains line is closed for the parade and the fireworks unless things have changed. I didn't see it this year, but last year they did close the line early and stopped people from lining up.

The app does something different for everyone it seems. I got the "the characters are asleep" and "parks closed" messages too.

During the MHP on the 14th the ride times on the app sometimes displayed and sometimes just said nothing. But the same goes for the wait times outside the rides. Sometimes they said a number and sometimes they were left empty.

JacksGirlz was kind enough to meet up with me this morning with party ticket in hand so we could try to get me one. It worked!

Thanks again Sarah!!!

It is nice and chilly outside and there is a good chance of rain today. What a different a week makes. Next year me and my friend Christine wants to go this week and two days in a row. I will have some trip reports up from 10/14 and 10/16 sometime this week.

Our weather report is getting progressively warmer... I see 85, 89, 86, 82, 72 for our trip now... We arrive on Sunday! I called DLH and let them know it was my birthday trip and we wanted a high floor room... I feel weird asking for stuff, but I would love some magic!

We are actually opposite you guys. We arrive tomorrow and all last week it was saying that the next three days were going to be low to mid 90s. Luckily for us, they have come down to low 80s!

Here's to hoping that the same happens to your trip!

 

[Mommy2PrincessAbby]

Eeek! Just got our mystical spirits confirmation email for our dinner order! I am hoping they will honor my request of no polenta and extra veggies for dd. We shall see. We plan to check in early and remind of the request. Getting real now!

I broke my leg. I'm ten days out and I freaking broke my leg. I'm still processing this, but I'm not going to let it ruin our trip.

I did get lunch reservations at Blue Bayou again, so I'm happy about that. Trying to take the good and the bad!

We just got back from our 3 day trip that included Friday's party.
We went the same time last year and found it much more crowded this year.
We had a great time. The atmosphere was amazing!
We dressed as Joy, Fear, Anger, Saddness, Disgust and Riley (there were 6 of us and one just happened to be an 11 year old girl).
We were grateful that the temps had dropped a little and we never got too hot. It was still quite humid.
We ended up with the zero and vampire Mickey popcorn buckets and a 2015 party pin. No Poison Apple mug sightings.
We tried pumpkin beignets and the card cake at French Market (yum). They were out of pumpkin twists!!!!
The kids said it was the best trip ever.

We are heading back next month for Thanksgiving.

Sorry to hear! It's been so warm down there, I am hopeful that your break isn't going to require some fiberglass cast monstrosity! Maybe then it wouldn't be so hot for you! Take it easy, get a scooter, I think I read you can get them with a crutch holder, so you can use crutches in lines? I am not much help lol. Just sending good vibes you way!

Great news! Did you have to be there when the booths opened or was this later? Has anyone else done this in the afternoon or later and still been able to get a ticket?

I saw these in WinCo the other day...
