HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread- 9/14-10/31; Mickey's Halloween Party starts 9/28!

I actually have been asking them for a couple of months as our baby has her birthday on the 28th Oct (so I was like "oh what do you think you want to do for DDs first proper Halloween this year??" etc)... I ordered some costumes from a website and will pack them... I *think* I got them the perfect costumes (my TWEEN being the wildcard ) but I don't think it will matter as they will be at DISNEYLAND!!!!

Exactly!!!! We aren't doing costumes (although like I said, the kids will think we are going to get them but we are actually heading to the airport for our trip instead). We are heading to Vegas for 4 days (5 nights) first so we didn't think packing 4 costumes for all of us would work. We did make really cool Halloween shirts for everyone in our party (6 total) which we all think the kids will love. There are 4 adults and 2 kids and I think at this point the adults are more excited for DL than Vegas! lol

I am so excited! This is our first year going to the Halloween Party. Today I called to change our reservations (lower price for Fall discounts)--and for the first time we are staying at the Concierge level at the Paradise Pier Hotel! The deal was just too good to pass up. It is much less than we were paying originally for a view room due to the Fall discount. We are getting the theme park view and concierge--so I think this will be a great trip all around.

My girls are very excited, and so am I! Only about a month to go...

We are staying there as well but not until the final 2 nights of our trip. We've never stayed on-site before so we are reallyyyyyy looking forward to it!! We splurged for the concierge as well. Looks very cool!

You will love staying on property! We have stayed at all 3 hotels (although only once before at the Paradise Pier and it was a long time ago)--and it is all part of the memory of the trip for us. We typically like the Disneyland Hotel, but don't want to go that route with the construction still going (we have stayed there 2 times with the construction, and the last time was pretty bad). I think the key with the Paradise Pier Hotel is getting the the theme park view--it makes all the difference.

Normally I wouldn't pay extra for concierge (it is out of our price range typically)--but this was an amazing deal. It will be really nice to have concierge at the PP, just because there isn't much around there as far as food. I love the idea of having breakfast available for the kids.

I hope you have a great time! Please update when you get home.

Here are the popcorn buckets $12. They are currently in NOS according to Mouseplanet. Maybe this is for the HMH and there will be a Halloween one? They did that last year with the "travel coffee mugs".

Do you know if you get any kind of discount if you reuse the popcorn bucket? I really like the coffin bucket, thanks for showing the pic. We will be there 10/2 and CAN'T WAIT!

Maybe you'll get lucky and the CM's will let you use one tomorrow I wouldn't hold my breath, though

I don't know if you can re-use the bucket for a discount. I am going to guess you will have to just buy a non-bucket popcorn and dump it yourself.

I am not down there. I will not be there until the end of Oct. Last year I was not supposed to even have popcorn (I had just had a dental procedure and was still healing). But this time.. I will eat as much as I want. I love Disney popcorn.

I am curious if there will be a Halloween general bucket since this one (so far) might only be in front of the Mansion.

I hope you get one at least once. Maybe you can ask a CM that if the ride stays down, if you can save your FP's until tomorrow? I have heard of people being able to do that.

Disney popcorn is already addicting, but we took a bottle of white truffle oil to the park last time (SO many uses) and added it to the popcorn. It was even more amazing!!! If you've never tried truffle popcorn, it is . No other words, just .

Our family all wants their own NBC popcorn buckets and with how much we love NBC, I forsee this happening.

I may have to try this. I will have to look for little bottles. Of course, I have been known to get popcorn on the way out of the park to eat in the hotel. Of course, I don't know if I need more things to be addicted to at Disneyland.

Depending on how they are, I might need a couple just for me to use for other things.

Not sure whether to post this here or on the Christmas thread. Will be going on Sunday for a whole new batch of pixs.
