HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[GenGen22]

So once again I promised my Fiance before my trip in March that I wouldn't be going to DL for the next couple of years and here I am again waiting for them to post the Halloween party schedule so, I can book my trip. It will be my 3rd party in a row for the last 3 yrs. I can't help it. I'm a Payroll Manager and with that comes a lot of stress DL is my release... I really should have considered another AP as I can't seem to stop planning trips...lol I'm already planning my second trip to WDW in May 2017 cuz I found out there will be a Payroll convention 3 minutes from WDW so, I was like why not my company will pay for my flight, hotel & meals I might as well buy a PH...lol

And now Southwest has flights for $59 even more reason to book a Halloween trip....

Grr! Ours are still $97 each way. Still a fairly good deal, but we can do better with Southwest.

It also depends on what day of the week you travel. We will be coming home on a Sunday and the cost is $109 so that's why I decided to stay longer And fly in on Wed or Thur instead of Fri for the $59 rate. Well that and the 3rd or 4th night free deals on getawaytoday.com...lol that and any reason to stay longer...lol

We'll be flying in on a Monday and leaving on the following Monday (that's the plan for now). It probably also depends on the home airport. I know our airfare will drop soon and when it does - we'll be ready to pounce on it! lol

Congrats on finding such a great deal! Disney must be sending some pixie dust ahead of your trip!

Wow! $59? Makes my bargain of $1500 each return pail in comparison.

Is there a "usual" line up of nights that the party is on? Like, every Friday, Monday, and Wednesday, or something like that? Or is it random?

Bumping this backup. Hoping someone can help.

Friday seems to be the only constant. Traditionally it used to be Fridays and Tuesdays, but in the last couple of years they added other days during the week, too. While I was at Disneyland late September last year, the parties were Friday, Monday and Wednesday.

I believe dates for prior years are listed in one of the first posts of this thread. We were there the last week of October last year and attended on a Sunday and a Tuesday.

I love this thread! It is making me giddy thinking about our upcoming trip in October! My husband and I are splurging for some serious quality time and leaving the kids with Grandma!
I just wish they would hurry up and post those party dates!!

Me too... I'm watching daily for me and my friend who both want to book a party and Halloween trip!

Where do you look to see if the dates have been posted?

I check Disneyland website & also do a Google search as well.

We went in 2012 and 2014 and liked the way the dates were spaced. We're in the parks Mon-Thur so for those 2 years the parties only fell on one of the four days. Now it sounds like it might be two of the days, not sure I like that. We're already shorted hours in the fall, the ROA, MT, Columbia & RR are closed and we'll get kicked out of one park early! I know, I know I should be happy I'm there but when you save for 2 years and you pay full price to get shorted, it's annoying!

I have been planning my Halloween costume for our October trip but read this today and am worried adults won't be allowed to wear costumes at Disneyland's Halloween

There is a possibility that adults will not be able to be dressed up, but I think people were allowed to dress up during one of those runs that were done recently! But I would just prepare for the possibility that you won't be able to wear your costume.
