[RweTHEREyet]

October 19 i going to be horrid day to go to the TOT party. Total horrible day, stay away. lol We want the part all to ourselves.

Yes, yes, I totally agree with you. The 19th is just the worst (so I have heard), so make sure you definitely attend another night, you will have a much better time, get more candy and shorter lines.

Why is the 19th the worst?

Oh, and thanks So Cal, you have passed the thunder and rain to us in Central Cali!

(it's only supposed to last today and back to sunshine tomorrow, so i will forgive you )

I have not had the chance to get on this thread since Friday morning. Had some kids stuff to do like Homecoming Game at my DD(15)'s high school and volleyball tourney all day yesterday for DD(12). This thread has been on my mind and I am so pleased with the reports and pictures. Reading this thread has brighten up my day already and I can't wait to get to my MHP in three and half long weeks!

Heres a link to mouseplanets twitter, follow them and get updated.

Just a note about MousePlanetAVP's twitter page. I was able to still get her tweet page this morning. The tweets and pics she posted have not faded from her queue. Go and have a look if you have not already.

O like this t shirt that AVP has posted on her twitter page http://twitpic.com/2ttp0b Kind of makes up for the t-shirt I liked, but only came in kid's sizes.

I love that too!
I am seriously considering attending the party next year after seeing all the photos and hearing everyone's reviews, even though a lot of people have said it was too crowded, still sounds fun.

I'm pretty sure they're just joking around - like yeahhhh stay away, that's the date we're going

 

[funatdisney]

Sorry double post and I have nothing to say?!!? That has never happened to me before.

I am worried about how crowded it would get, too. Although it may seem too crowded judging by the reports here, I do wonder if it will be lighter on Tuesdays. The reports were on the first Friday MHP. We are going on the 26th, and I am hoping that it might be a lighter turn out.

yes we are joking around Woodduck has a sweet tooth and wants all the candy for himself.

Sherry look what I found:



Sorry for the glare over the important part but I think you can at least get the idea. I can't have gluten but I will definitely be bringing some home for my Mom who has a serious sweet tooth. I have been wanting to find them since you mentioned them a while ago.
Tricia

Tricia - Yay!!

Thank you so much for posting the photo of my favorite DLR cookies!! I understand about the pesky glare in the shot - sometimes, no matter what you do to try to avoid the glare, there it is in the way!

Oh, how I miss those gingerbread men with mouse ears!! I didn't get any last year so I haven't had them since 2008. I think it's time to revisit those Gingerbread Mouse Men this year - and then tear them apart, limb by limb!!

I hope they are still the hefty, chewy cookies that I remember and not lighter, crisp cookies now. I was surprised at how substantial they were. I never quite trust the Disney chefs - I always get paranoid that they are going to suddenly change the recipe for something or start making it in a different way (like what they have recently done with the Tigger Tails and like what they did with the meat loaf I like at Carnation Cafe). I fear that if I don't eat a cookie for a while and then come back to it a couple of years later it will be a different cookie. Sometimes they just need to leave well enough alone!!

Do they have these through Christmas time? My DH LOVES gingerbread cookies (the rest of us, not so much), so would be great to be able to get some then.

Not sure if anybody has posted this yet, haven't had a chance to go through the thread in a few days, as I have been busy enjoying Disneyland! But I just had to post a picture of something I got yesterday.

Yes! They got some in yesterday!! I just happened to walk by a popcorn stand on the way to Grizzly River Run, and saw it. Of course I had to stand in line for 10 minutes, just to get one! My favourite souvenir so far.

Not sure if all the popcorn stands had them, but I did see them at a few after that.

Okay, I revised the Table of Contents even further.

After where's_my_prince asked about mugs and fudge last night, I got to thinking that when it comes to specific things like Halloween food items and Halloween merchandise, there might be times when someone wants to just quickly look at the mugs or look at the balloons or t-shirts, etc. Someone may say, "Does anyone have a photo of the Halloween ears?" And that may be all they want to see.

So, now, underneath the "Food" and "Merchandise" categories on the ToC, next to each DIS'er's name, I will mention which specific food or merchandise item can be found in the post I am linking you to. For example, Tricia (tjcrabb) just posted a photo of the gingerbread men with mouse ears, so when I listed her under "Food," I made a notation of that in parentheses next to her name. Kenttz had a post that included a photo of mugs, the Halloween tree and other stuff, so I listed that.

Right now, we don't have too many food pictures and not all that many merchandise photos...but I expect that to change in the coming weeks, so I hope this makes it easy for everyone to find everything.

I'm so glad you were able to get one, Andrea!! I was bummed that when I looked there were none, but all worked out!!

Yes! That's when I got mine - in December 2008. And I was pulling off the arms and legs and dismembering the poor little guy almost immediately!! I think the cookies might be available outside of the holidays too. Someone reported seeing them in May and August.

They sell these cookies in all the candy stores/sweet shops as well as most of the baked goods places. They also sell them in the Market House. There are other gingerbread cookies without ears that they sell, but who wants those when you can have the ones with the ears?

I just love this pic of the castle and the orange sky. It gives a Halloween feel.

Great pics, mvf-m11c and awesome reports!

We needed a photo of the bucket in this particular thread, so thank you so much for posting it!

I hope you're having a great time, Andrea!!

I have to add you to the Table of Contents now!!

I am back from our HalloweenTime fun. My trip report is slowly being added.
We did not go to the party this time, but I will make sure to next year.
I was asking a CM about finding some characters and he mentioned that the Lady Tremaine, Drizela, and Anastasia only come out at the party...boohoo for us-but FYI for those attending that it is a rare moment!

Thank you Sherry for listing these items on this thread. My trip isn't for a while and I have found so many things to shop and look out for from this thread. I am getting confused and the pieces of paper with my notes on them are making my desk very messy! Your ToC posting is coming a very useful tool.
