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

[krispin41]

That's the shirt! I'm still trying to convince my DH that he needs a Disney shirt too. I'm gonna keep working on him. LOL.

But I do have another question, I asked in the MHP Fast Pass thread, however it may get buried over there.

DH and I are staying at the PPH-concierge level. We're arriving early on 10/14 and will probably be spending time in DTD until it's time for the Party, can we pick up our wristbands for entrance to MHP at the hotel?

Sherry, this will be my first time to WDW, but thanks to the DIS, I can answer some of your questions. WDW doesn't have the Roundup, Dia de las Mortas (sp, I'm a white girl), NBC overlay, the big Mickey Pumpkin in Town Square, the Halloween Tree, or the awesome pumpkin carvings. From what I can tell, the decorations don't even come close to what DL has.

WDW does have the way awesome Boo to you parade with the Headless Horseman, Dancing Ghosts, and Grave diggers. The have Gaston roaming the parks this year and Lotso during the party. I think the fireworks are the same, just called a different name, but doesn't have the globe with Jack Skellington and "friends" projected onto it. I remember one year they had the same projections on ROA for those watching Halloween Screams in NOS, is that no longer the case? There is also a Haunted Hay Ride somewhere on Wilderness Lodge property.

I'm glad there are some differences, it keeps people coming to both parks. I hope the trend stays. I keep hearing how Disney execs what to mesh everything together and all homonogized. That wouldn't be any fun.

The FP machines are not available during MHP.

You can only pickup the wristbands at the MHP turnstile. When you use your MHP ticket at the turnstile that is for the MHP another CM will give you a wristband for the party.

I have another set of pictures to post. Here is my picture of the Masked Halloween Floral Mickey

More pictures on Main Street.

This photo is the best example I have for showing the bright sign lights seen the morning of our visit.

The following pictures were taken as I sat on the upper deck of the omnibus. Please pardon me for the lopsided pictures. It was a bumpy ride!

I have more pictures and will post them tomorrow.

 

[StyledSugar]

Great pics funatdisney!! Looks like the view from the upper deck gives you a whole new perspective of things that you might have missed on the bottom or on foot. Very nice!

 

[funatdisney]

Thank you, StyledSugar. You are right about the different perspective on the Main Street windows. I discovered the upper deck when I took my 2010 Christmas trip pictures. I think posted them in the Christmas thread. I thought it would be a nice trick to utilize for Halloween Time. I only got one side of the street, too. When I go back, I'll try to get the other side.

 

[mvf-m11c]

Great pictures Liza. The ones from the omnibus are very nice when you took them from the top. That reminds me to do that trick when I go next week.

Is there nowhere in the park where you can pick up the wristbands? When I did MNSSHP at WDW, I was able to pick up the wristband at the Rose Garden near the castle.

For the first party, it does not matter as I will meet my friend back at the hotel and we will get ready together. For the second party though, I have a reservation for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique an hour before people with Party tickets can enter the park and I was kind of hoping that I could just pick up my wristband for the party inside the park afterwards.

Thank you guys so much for the pics!!

Has anyone seen the NBC seatbelt handbag? I read they were making them this year and I believe only selling them at DL. I seem to remember they were at vault?

Hoping they are available in 15 days...

Oddly, I have not seen anything about that bag on this board, but one of my best friends (she is obsessed with bags/purses) has been all over it! She has told me about it, posted on Facebook about it - I think she even had someone run to Vault 28 to grab that bag for her. It was released 2-3 days before Halloween Time began, if I'm not mistaken. I saw a photo of it somewhere on Facebook, but not here on the DIS.

Is this it?

I don't know that I love it. I was hoping there would be other designs. Time will tell. Thanks for the response!!

I think there may be more than one design (but maybe it's also a different type of bag??). I could be wrong on that, though. I don't think this is the bag I saw the photo of. I will have to try to find the photo that I saw on Facebook. While I like the size of the bag and overall shape/structure, I think the design could be better. I don't think I love it, either! It could stand to have a better picture or pattern or whatever, something more clever than this.

I am reading AVP's Disneyland update on Mouseplanet and....

The Ghost Mickey popcorn bucket is back this year, and the park is imposing a limit of four buckets per person to try to ensure the popular souvenirs last longer than they did in 2010. Nightmare Before Christmas fans can purchase this year's new hot commodity, a coffin-shaped Jack Skellington popcorn bucket. The bucket is $12, and is sold only at the popcorn cart in front of the Haunted Mansion.

And, I had asked earlier if anyone remembers this...
The French Market hasn't offered a full Haunted Mansion Holiday menu in several years, but they do offer a muffaletta and potato chip combo, boxed in the same coffin container sold at the popcorn carts, for $14.99. The restaurant also offers a flourless chocolate coffin cake, and sells a Haunted Mansion Holiday version of the travel mug.



You can read it all and see it here

I am excited for everyone that wants the Mickey Ghost popcorn bucket.
I am excited because I think I lost my NMC travel mug from last year (so I am happy it is the same this year) and I am happy French Market is back into at least kinda doing NBC meals. We used to love them.

Okay, back to reading about treats...even though I really should be working.

 

[isisisme]

I think I am too excited this morning. I am just happy to have people to share my excitement with!

Several quick-service restaurants and Resort bakery locations have the new Donald Duck demitasse dessert cup. The souvenir cup is filled with a mini caramel-apple muffin and topped with pumpkin mousse, chocolate shavings and candy corn. Table service restaurants have the pumpkin Mickey Mouse demitasse from last year, filled with hazelnut tiramisu and topped with pumpkin mousse, chocolate shavings and chocolate twists. The dessert is $6.99, and the demitasse cup is yours to keep. Look for these at the Blue Ribbon Bakery, Carnation Café, Plaza Inn, Rancho del Zocalo, Blue Bayou, Café Orleans and Big Thunder Ranch in Disneyland; Pacific Wharf Cafe and Wine Country Trattoria in Disney California Adventure; and at Storyteller’s Café at the Grand Californian Hotel.



So, darn..I have 2 desserts I *have* to eat? I am crushed!!

Thank you so much for posting that yummy information! A bit later on today I will include the link to that MP piece in the first post of this thread!! (Right now I am busily working on the new weekly theme for the Christmas thread!)

Thank you, also, for letting me know I had not lost my mind!! Even though the Plaza Inn only had the Donald Duck demitasse 3 days ago, I knew I saw someone walk by with a Mickey demitasse (just like last year's Mickey dessert) in hand on Main Street. I was beginning to think I was going crazy, but I was certain I saw someone with that famous Mickey pumpkin mug thingy in hand.

 

[kkmcan]

Oh my goodness, so many great halloween items to buy!!

I want the ghost mickey popcorn bucket, the coffin popcorn bucket, and the NBC travel mug for sure! I've also wanted one of those ceramic Mickey votive candle holders for years (the pumpkin shaped one).

Last year during MHP, the guests that were in the park and didn't have a MHP wristband can buy one at the Plaza Pavilion. But this year, I don't know where they will have it since the Plaza Pavilion is closed for the new Bakery. So someone needs to report where in DL is the location to get a wristband for the party those nights. Last year was the first year that DL did an exclusive party that clears the park. At the place where they sell the wristbands, they could let guests who are in the park to pick up their wristbands on those days instead of going back to the turnstile. This was just my observation about MHP last year. Other people will have different opinions. When I did MVMCP at MK they had the wristband sales right by Stitches Great Escape. But I know for a fact that you can only get your wristbands at the turnstile or inside the park on a party night.

When the guests are allowed in the park at 3pm or 4pm you can go through the MHP turnstile and get your wristband and bag. Then you can leave the park and do whatever you want. I would guess that you can pickup your wristband at the place where they will be selling them inside the park instead of going back to the turnstile. I would call the DLR and find out if you can do that.

You are very welcome. I was happy to know they still had it too since I missed getting one last year. I didn't know they would stop selling them Halloween night. We got their closer to Halloween last year so we missed out on a lot of treats. Not this year. I will get them all if I only eat treats.

Photo Post #5 (from me) -

More from Halloween Time...Random, miscellaneous stuff (I was already in Photobucket to post things for the Christmas thread and I thought I would grab a few more Halloween shots while I am in here!)....

Great pictures Liza. The ones from the omnibus are very nice when you took them from the top. That reminds me to do that trick when I go next week.

Thanks Bret! I can't wait to see how yours come out. I'm working on another posting this morning. I hope I can get them posted this afternoon.
