Well, we're back. Thanks to whoever wished for hot weather during the last week of September. (Yeah, that's sarcasm.) It was over 100 degrees most of our trip. That will be the LAST trip we make this time of year. We knew we'd risk running into hotter temps (upper 80's) but had no clue we'd end up with miserable record highs.

We had a decent time even though the weather was really, really bad. However, I didn't take very many pictures of Halloween stuff. Why? Well, two reasons. 1. It was so hot that we found ourselves going quickly from air conditioned building to air conditioned building. 2. It just didn't feel like Fall or Halloween time at all so it was hard to enjoy the decorations.

Overall, it was a less than ideal Disneyland trip. Kind of sad since it will be our last trip for many, many years. I wish we would have waited and gone in January or February instead since the main reason we chose this time of year was to see the Halloween/Fall stuff which we didn't really get to enjoy anyway.

NO! No more heat! It's supposed to be low 80's this weekend then cools off again. I will allow the low 80's but no more then that!

I want a cupcake.

dizneedoll, you've pretty much summed up how I feel today (and yesterday...and tomorrow...and next week) - No more heat! And...I want a cupcake!!!

Don't those basic rules & wishes pretty much apply to any day of the year? They are year-round for me!!

Mouse Planet reports that you can wear your costume all day to either DCA or DL on party days. Does anyone know if that's true?

(I won't be in the park on any full party days--we're doing Downtown Disney on the party day, and then going into the park at 4--but I'm wondering if I should wear my costume to Downtown Disney or change there...)

I am curious if this is infact true. It said it was reported by a poster and the acrticle reporter didn't go to the party until six to observe for himself.

We just got back and had an amazing time. MHP was a lot of fun and the park looked great. Three full days from 8am to midnight, and we're exhausted. Rode every single attraction in both parks, including a couple we've never ridden. One of the best trips. I'm working on a separate thread of a detailed trip report, heavily loaded with pics which I should have done in a couple days. We took about 600+ pics, some great, others not so great. Still struggling getting night time photo's to look decent and WOC is difficult to photograph. I need to buy a better camera.

For those who have tons of free time on their hands and want to browse through 600+ photo's, here is the link:

Amy! I'm so glad you're back! We hit 113 degrees in L.A. last week and I said here, "I feel so bad for AmyPond," because I knew you were waltzing right into the heatwave in Anaheim!! I was miserable and I knew you were too, but at least I could stay indoors, while you were out in the hot sun. I was telling people on another thread that 100+ degree weather is dangerously hot and not good for anyone. And today it's 61 degrees!

YAY something to put off studying!

I am back and I had a fantastic weekend. My friend and I went to Disneyland on Sunday (oct 3) and I did my first 8am to midnight day! You definitely need some recovery time after that. I enjoyed all the Halloween decorations and saw F! and RDCT for the first time. I also got to ride TOT and Screamin' (loved it!) for the first time. Since it was an adult trip, we definitely rode more coasters. It was lots of fun, but I did miss my DH and kids, I have so much fun there with them. I'll try to load some pictures later today.

WOC: There were two shows on the schedule. In the morning (around 10:30), they announced a third show would be added. We exited GRR at 4 and they still had fastpasses available for the 10:15 (2nd) show.

Ahh. I'm sorry you didn't have a great time. I know the weather was awful last week. It was probably the worst we've had all year long too. I would have felt the same way, not in the fall holiday mood at all. This week, it's cold and chilly and perfect fall weather which makes last week all the more cruel. I hope you do get to come back soon and enjoy the parks with nice weather.

Oh, I like that! That is going to be my new rule for life: cool weather with cupcakes! And I wouldn't say no to cookies either.

Glad you had a good time! As I have a government job, I have about 8 hours a day of free time to browse through your photos! Looking forward to it!

Sorry it was so hot for your trip, our neighbors were there on Sunday when it reached 108 or something like that. Even they were complaining, and we live in the desert. Unfortunately, you can never depend on the weather being perfect every time you go. Our neighbors have gone in February and have been miserably wet and cold. So, you never know.

 

[dizneedoll]

tjcrabb- Love the merchandise photos. I always forget about the TOT giftshop since I can't ride that with my DS4 quite yet. I love the Jack gloves. I'm adding that to my must buy list. It's funny, until this year I wasn't really into TNBC stuff. I liked the HMH and everything just didn't want the stuff but this year I'm really wanting more of the Jack and Sally merchandise which is bad because I don't need anymore stuff!

DD and I leave in the morning!
