I'm BACK!
We go through this every year. Last year we just went to the party, nothing else. Painful! Too short of a stay but we knew we were not going to get another AP as this vacation we are doing a big Summer trip with WDW. But there is something about Halloween and the Party @ DLR that keeps us coming back. I think we have missed one year in the last 5 or 6 years.
So we are not sure when we will get there but we will be there for the party one way or another. So Disney post the dates for the Party!
I'm off to see if I can dig up a picture or two from last year.

I ordered an AP that I'll be activating in September when I get there. Is there going to be anyway for me to order tickets ahead of time & get the discount? I know I can't activate it online until I activate it in the park; which is lame because you could in 2009.

I am headed down this weekend to activate our annual pass. I will ask the question directly. I will check back here next week and let you know what I found out. Unless someone else has an answer.
Later,

I just bought plane tickets yesterday. My 6-year-old daughter and I are coming. It will be a surprise trip for her and I don't know how I'm going to keep the secret for 5 months.

I got my plane tickets for $250 under budget by moving to Long Beach and that gives me the room to maybe upgrade our hotel reservations. I'm wondering if Disney ever does promotions or discounts on their hotels in the fall or if Halloween is too popular for them to need to do that?

My daughter hasn't ever seen Nightmare before Christmas. Will the party make more sense to her if she sees it?

I'm not a AP holder so will have to wait until the general public can get tickets. But my question is are the tickets for a specific date? Or are they a ticket that you can use at a party any time they are on. I'm trying to decide which day we want to go (assuming tue & Fri) but it would be easier if I could just buy a ticket and decide when we get there depending on how we feel. I have feeling not though!

It's going to be a long wait for me to get tickets! I can't wait to go!!

You have to choose a specific date for the Halloween party when purchasing tickets. Some parties sell out when the dates get closer. We went to the October 25th party last year (a Tuesday night). I bought our tickets in the summer. I looked before we went on our trip, and that party had sold out.

We got a discount at GCH last year - I think it was 20%. I think the discounts came out in August. So, they have done it in the past, I have no idea what will happen this year with CL opening.

*sigh* No specific dates for the party yet? Once the commotion from the recent ticket price increase subsides, I'm hoping that the specific days and prices will be released. We're shooting for Tuesday, the 16th. Oh well, each day I wait is one more day to save. Even better, my husband gave me the go-ahead to book a few nights at the Disneyland Hotel.

It won't matter. But she would probably like the movie. The Haunted Mansion will be transformed into all about Nightmare Before Christmas but just that. All the other areas will be decorated with Halloween decorations. If you want I have my link from pictures I took last year in one of my previous postings and I think there are tons listed on the 1st page of this thread. .
Don't miss back in the Roundup area, behind Thunder Mountain, they will have pumpkin carvers working off and on. It is an amazing place to see these artists at work. If you look at some of my pictures, you can see some of the work. Last year they were carving Beauty on one side and the Beast on the other. Or Woody on one side and Jessee on the other. Very cute! Plus they have a character meet with pictures back there, too!
Enjoy!

[angiemouse]

We're booked for October I can't wait to get our party tickets!!!

I'm so, so excited for our trip to DL for Halloween! We booked our hotel and flights for our trip in October (15-22), to surprise our daughters for their birthdays. Our trip is almost right in between their birthdays (end of September and end of November). They have no idea, and hopefully won't until our plane lands! I'm going to try to get them to pick their costumes way in advance, so we can hopefully buy them a few weeks before our trip!

What do they call the Halloween party at Disneyland? The party at Disneyworld seems to be called "Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party". Is there a name they always use at Disneyland?

Mickey's Halloween Party or we would call it MHP for short.
