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

Observation. They say you can't wear your costumes other than at the party. However, I saw many adults wearing obvious costumes (as in, no possible way they could be mistaken for everyday clothing) walking around the park all day. And not just any day, but yesterday...Wednesday...when there was no party at all. Not sure if that's not really the rule, or it isn't well enforced, or what.

Yes, I saw the same thing. I think they "relax" the rules a bit during the Halloween season. But I am sure you wouldn't be let in if you were in an out costume.

We attended the party on Friday, 10/21. We were in line to get our wristbands talking with some people ahead of us & a child asked a cast member how many tickets had been sold that day. She said she didn't know, but when I mentioned I had read online that the guess was about 20,000 tickets, the cast member said not even close to 20,000. She said not even half that... Later that night I asked my husband about how many people he thought were currently in the park and he said about 25,000.

That was our night also! We kind of got stuck back by the ranch with a slow mover who wouldn't get off of a bench so that kinda dragged us down and it is DARK back there..wish we would have kept moving..never even made it to Tomorrowland::::::: live and learn

I'm back from our 1st WDW vacation. It was fabulous!! I have to report that WDW does have gingerbread mickey cookies and they taste just as magnificant as the DL ones!!! I found them at Goofy's Candy Co. I wanted to check at another bakery but never found my way to one . In hind sight, I should have taken a picture to offer proof. It was the same size, same white buttons, same chocolate dipped mickey ears, and soft cookie that I've seen (and enjoyed) in numerous bake shops in DL.

I saw Mickey Gingerbread cookies at Marceline's in DTD.

We noticed that - also in the MHP material it states that costumes must not obscure the eyes or involve "weapons that could be mistaken for real weapons" - or words to that effect...
We saw people in costumes with masks and headpieces that completely covered their heads, eyes and all, and a lot of weapons! We had told the boys they couldn't take in toy swords or daggers, but lots of kids had ninja swords, pirate swords, the whole armoury, so I would disregard those two "rules" if going in future

"Serpents and spiders, tail of a rat
call in the spirits wherever they're at.


Rap on a table, it's time to respond,
send us a message from somewhere beyond.

Goblins and ghoulies from last Halloween
awaken the spirits with your tambourine.

Creepies and crawlies, toads in a pond
let there be music from regions beyond.


Wizards and witches wherever you dwell
give us a hint by ringing a bell."






HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! ​

Thank you for joining me for another fun-filled season in this thread that celebrates:

Thank you so much to everyone who has participated, exchanged information and shared their experiences of DLR during this most bewitching season!

Of course, the Halloween at DLR Superthread will remain accessible and active year-round (the link can always be found in Mary Jo’s main Info sticky at the top of the page, under “Holiday Planning”).


In the meantime, and until next Halloween, I invite you to join me (and many other DLR Yuletide fans) over in the Disneyland at Christmas Time Superthread as we await the holiday season start date on November 14th. We cover all aspects of the season also share lots of breaking news and photos!

The first 3 posts on Page 1 of the Christmas Superthread have lots of information and links to even more information. Plus, since August we have been doing a weekly Monday countdown to the holidays, along with a new photo theme with each countdown which focuses on one particular area or highlight of the yearly festivities. Today's theme is, of course, Haunted Mansion Holiday!!

Have a spooky, spellbinding and absolutely enchanting Halloween!!​

Great pics everyone! We attended the 31st party and had a great time, although it was a little chilly. Fun times though! We just got back the other day so I'll put up a trip report with some pics this weekend. Thanks to everyone here for the great advice!

Does anyone know when the dates will be announced for 2012? During our New Year's trip we upgraded to an AP. Hoping to go during Halloween but would prefer September due to school schedules.
