Rain? how weird!
Cali weather is nuts!
I just checked AccuWeather for a prediction on how it's gonna be when I go...it says upper 70s, low 80s and I am thrilled!!
I know it's 2 weeks in advanced & that could easily change, but it's nice to have some sort of official prediciton!

[farmgirljen]

I eat there pretty frequently and never have a reservation. Sometimes there is a wait, but it's usually not terribly long. You can try calling the morning of the day you're wanting to have dinner there and booking a PS time then. Otherwise, give the walk-up a shot, it always works out ok for us.

I'm pretty sure you can just walk up. I mean, there may be a wait of some kind (or maybe you will be lucky and get there when there is no wait), but I think you can just walk up and ask to be seated.

I was told by Disneyland Dining that the only place that actually requires a reservation is Blue Bayou, even though it is recommended that you get reservations for other table service places. And in the last year, some people reported even being able to get tables at BB without a reservation. I think Cafe Orleans should be no problem!

To all the Halloween lovers out there (and I have a hunch there are many of you) -

One of our wonderful DIS'ers - mommaU4 (otherwise known as Beth, otherwise known as one of the famous DIS Divas) - has started an amazing thread in the DL Community section called "Anything and everything Halloween!," which is all about Halloween!!

Beth's thread will be a celebration of all things Halloween-related (though not about Disneyland, specifically). She wants to see photos of Halloween costumes, hear about Halloween baking ideas and recipes, see your photos of Halloween decorations and carved pumpkins, share ideas for Halloween parties, etc., etc.

Be sure to check out "Anything and everything Halloween!" in the DL Community forum and celebrate the fabulous holiday that is Halloween!

Have a fantastic time, Bret! I know you won't read this because you're already gone and having a blast, but I wanted to say it anyway!!

Thanks Sherry, I am just a few hours away from DL and we just got off the grapevine. I'm updating all my info from my car. I hate going up on the grapevine since we have to use a lot of gas to go up in the mountains. I am very excited about MHP and the halloween decorations. I just updated my Tr on my signature and i will keep updating during the day and night.

Thank you for all the information so I could make my trip smoother than normal.

I am currently in the park during MHP and it was very interesting on how they setup the guests with a MHP ticket. DL is using the middle gate entrance as the main entrance for the MHP attendees while other guests are still allowed to enter the park on the left hand side. There were alot of different guests with Disney costumes and unique costumes. And like the reports were correct, when DL scans the ticket there was a line going to the right hand side and CMs are giving guests a wristband. Today color is purple. Than when we enter the park, the gave us a nice bag. I'll post it later tonight and the park map for MHP.

I will keep posting updates later during the day, but here are some pics of how DL is managing the MHP guests and other pics.

You can look at my pics on my flickr on my signature of the GCH and MHP.

Any wristband stations in the park? I am trying to get an idea if we need to leave and come back in on Tuesday.

Thanks for the pics and updates. I am so excited!

I love the live-from-the-scene photos that we get on this thread (like VictoriaAndMatt provided on the first day of Halloween Time and like Bret is doing for us now at the MHP).

Thank you, Bret!! And they brought back the giant Ghost Mickey and that other Mickey Pumpkin from the TOTP! I can't wait to see what the other areas of DL look like for the MHP!!!

This means it's time for me to update the Table of Contents!!

I only wish I had a phone smart enough that I could have done the same thing! Next year, maybe. I need to start looking into a new plan since I already need to start changing my teting options. Oiy.

EEE! I love Disney at Halloween!!
