I saw these in WinCo the other day...View attachment 130006

Glow in the dark Oreos? Are these new? I have ever heard of such a thing!!! Or, is it just the actual wrappers that glow (not the cookies)? Either way, they are new to me! Pumpkin Pandemonium and Halloween Hoopla live on!!

We are here now... It's been a roller coaster of a day. After getting rained out- we are now waiting for Halloween screams to begin... Delayed... Keeping our fingers crossed that they are not cancelled!

I hope they're not cancelled! The weather has been kooky lately, between the extreme heat, humidity, rain, breezes, etc.

In all reality- the parade being cancelled worked in our favor- we got a spot to the left of the hub just a little after nine.... They just keep making the announcement about technical difficulties... You can hear the thousands of people in this hub all hold their breath at the same time whenever he announcements start... The suspense is crazy!

What usually ends up happening when Halloween Screams is cancelled is that Disney will run those fireworks -- for everyone -- the following night. So that would mean that even the general public would see them tomorrow night, most likely, if they are cancelled tonight.

Just to update I heard the fireworks go off from my house so it appears as if they ended up going off afterall

 

[JacksGirlz]

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?

We met up just before 7:30am (park opening was at 8am). The CM at the ticket booth asked to see my tickets for MHP and then was ok selling a ticket to joyfulDisneytears. Not sure whether or not they would do this throughout the day though.

I'm so glad I could help out a fellow DISer!

That's great to know that it worked. It's not the ideal way to get into MHP, but it's an emergency back-up option in case someone needs to get in on a specific date, and the tickets sell out before they can buy one.

I guess this falls under the category of "Fall/Halloween Time food," though it's questionable. Here is a new blog from the Disney Food Blog, about the "seasonal" offerings at the Hungry Bear Restaurant" --

The apple pie funnel cake does look yummy. Heather mentions that the popular poison apple mugs are sold out resort-wide.

We were there too. Disappointed to miss the parade.
15 minute delay on fireworks.
We also got stuck on Pirates for 15 minutes....at the top of the ramp to go out.

This morning we got walked off Alice....one of those days.

I will count MHP tonight as a success, despite the rain! The biggest monkey wrench that threw in for me was I didn't get to meet quite as many characters as I'd hoped, but I did:

-Toontown Pre-Party - Met Mickey & Minnie, Donald, Daisy, and did 2 treat trails before heading out
-AP treat trail
-Met the gentleman villains (Radcliffe, Jafar, Hades)
-Waited in line for princesses but got rained out
-Halloween Screams
-Cadaver Dans
-Treat stations/trails in Critter Country, Golden Horseshoe (x2), Big Thunder Trail, Village Haus
-Villains closing show

I will be sleeping wayyyy in tomorrow because I have been going hard in the parks for 4 days now! I leave Friday so I can afford some sleep time.

Thanks so very much again to JacksGirlz for helping me get my ticket!

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!

Hmm I want to know if it is the package or the cookie, if its the cookie it is awesome and gross at the same time

 

[nightmaremama]

Yes, the fireworks were worth the wait. I'm really glad we got to see them- the night was pretty laid back as we had our 2yr little with us, but overall it was a nice night

How did the princesses get rained out? Aren't they under cover?

We had an amazing time at the party last tonight.

Checkin in Fronteirland was a breeze. They actually started around 2:40 which helped.

Checked in for MSBB @ 4. Pretty decent sized line but absolutely worth checking in because it determines your seat inside.

The pre-party was great. Got photos with characters, tons of candy (including a walk through of Mickey and Minnie's house which I haven't seen since about 2005) and rode roger rabbit all within a half hour.

MSBB was top notch and worth every penny in my opinion. The food, entertainment, gifts, everything was phenomenal. I think they're learning lessons as they go. Fast efficient checkin, no confusion on the food. As best I could tell, Faciellier posed with everyone for photos. During that was one of my favorite parts I hadn't even read about. The Bayou Belles walked around the room twice, once escorting a Constance the Bride character and once with Tightrope Girl. Really really cool. Was very surprised to get out and see it had rained. The fireworks were delayed, but I'm grateful they ran. As far as I can tell there are no longer any benches behind the statue (although I can't be 100% sure). The other slight bummer was because of the rain, they didn't have the people in front of preferred viewing sit. Totally understandable cause I wouldn't want to sit on the wet ground either (in a costume to boot). So, the view was slightly obscured, but not bad at all.

Goodness, went offline to tackle some hardcore work and suddenly we're only 5 days out from our Halloween trip!!

So great to hear most people like MSBB, I'm very excited. My only issue is still about my baby being the 5th person in our party, and he's not counted in our prepaid amount for 4 people. I've called Disney Dine multiple times, told to call a special number, which I have twice and left messages, with no return call. I also emailed Disney Help and was told to call Disney Dine, which takes me back full circle. Has anyone taken their baby, and were there any issues?

Also, and I apologize if this is information I missed somewhere, are there villain entry mini-shows? I didn't know about the villain exit show, but we'll likely not be around that late, so I'd like to catch their entry. If so, what is the best tactic to have a good view?

Exciiiiited!

I do believe someone had mentioned bringing a less than three year old (so unpaid) and it was no problem, the just provided no food for them.

As for the villains there are a few mini "show" entrances and exits, I just don't know which ones but the villains coming out will be brought out with the horse drawn carriage and the ones who are currently out ride it in. I think they have been doing half hour sets so it should be on the hour or half. I know they don't do it during the first hour though, as they are still filtering out guests and they don't do it as the very last ones go in before the final show

6 days until we fly to California, 7 days until our MHP night!!!! The forecast is showing 92 for our party night. I hope that drops a bit! I am getting so excited!!!!!

 

[joyfulDisneytears]

How did the princesses get rained out? Aren't they under cover?

Yes, but we were told it was a safety issue because the floor in there would get so slippery. So once their current set was over they didn't bring anyone else back out.

Ah. It helps to know that going in. Thanks! Sorry you missed them.
