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

Wow, this thread is moving so fast I can't keep up, lol.

Those are some great photo's. I just use a cheap Canon Powershot point and shoot, but it seems to do a decent job for most pictures, except low lighting..

OK, so I went to the Flicker account and see what kind of camera - it is a step up from my little Canon Powershot - you took a lot of great shots with it! What setting(s) did you use for the night shots?

Im so disappointed, I tried to get some kick butt photos of inside the umm HMH décor.., and the buggies were moving and all I got was blurry photos.. I don’t know how ot not let that happen ..and if anyone says to use a tripod I will make them ride ISMW 10 times in a row!

..and I just got my new Nikon L22 coolpix and the thing does great.. just the user can’t use it well!

Funball - you have been taking some amazing shots with that little P&S of yours - it definitely isn't user error! HMH is nearly impossible to get except blurry.


Bret - Fantastic castle shots!!! Now I am really sorry we didn't do MHP this year.

I have seen the Halloween party creeping more like the MNSSHP over the years. I would love to see not only the Headless Horseman, but the whole parade much like the one at MNSSHP. Hopefully it will.


BTW, I was reading the AP Backstage Magazine the other day. I found an interesting statement: "...Mickey's Halloween Party promises to be more magical then ever as it moves to its new home - in Disneyland Park!" So I take this to mean that MHP will be at Disneyland for now on. Others?

I noticed that in the AP magazine too. I'm guessing the party will be held at Disneyland for the next couple of years at least as construction continues at DCA through 2013.

I just spoke with one of the CMs at the ticket booths and she said that tonight is going to be the lowest attended of the season. She also told me that they sell around 10,000 tickets each party. Apparently just a couple of thousand have been sold for tonight and the other nights sales have already surpassed that. I guess that isn't going to make a very good comparison for those who went Friday. Well I am off to the happiest haunts tour!

At last year's MHP, I was thinking that it might not be worth it to attend 2010 event (although it is a personal goal of mine to attend every single MHP) because of the construction work in the park. I was glad that it moved to DL and just assumed that it would be there for a year or two. That would explain why there wasn't much in the way of announcements for MHP. But... the word "home" means to me that it will be in DL for now on. Then again, you can never count on anything permanent with Disney.

So just when I thought I was all packed the weather takes a turn. So I have shorts, t-shirts, 2 long sleeves and 1 pair of jeans each. Keep in mind we are from the sunny AZ, do you think we will be cold? Oh and I did pack a light jacket each.

When are you going? The weather should clear up in the next few days. But it's always a good idea to bring a light jacket for the evenings. i know nights at DLR can get a little chilly. But I am usually ok in shorts and a sweatshirt. (drinking hot tea helps too lol)
Check here for good estimations

they are predicting upper 70s and low 80s for my trip
I couldn't ask for more perfect weather

Here's the weather for the next 10 days at Disneyland back to warm weather and sunshine http://www.weather.com/weather/tenday/USCA1306

Well, I do hope it stays at DL. And it would be nice if grows and they add stuff like a full blown MNSSHP type parade too. But you are definitely right, there is no such thing as permanent at Disney.

I think you'll freeze your butts off. Pack some sweaters. It is supposed to warm up this weekend again but it will still be chilly at night.
Have a great trip!

No matter what the weather predictions are, I recommend packing a little bit of everything so you can layer as needed. We were at DL this past weekend and when we left the forecasts were for hot to warm weather. Then it got cloudy and colder than I would have suspected. Of course, those weather prediction sites changed their stats more than once a day... We wore shorts for the most part, but sometimes layered with jackets in the mornings and evenings. Hope this helps and I hope you have a great trip!!!

Thanks everyone, we leave on Friday and hit the park on Saturday. I just threw in some long sleeve shirts to put under the kids t-shirts to be safe. I have been following weather.com but like PP said it has changed daily or more. We are now looking at 60% chance of rain on Wed. if it hasn't changed in the last few hrs. I hope for a little sprinkle to keep the crowds away.

sooo cute! i LOVE when CMs get all into their character! I love having conversations with them!
I like that Jack can talk...at first when I saw his costume I was like eh about the odd head shape but now that I see him and Sally interact I think it was a good choice to have him as a talking character.
Thanks for posting the video!

That's so cool! I think they should have all characters talk. It's more fun.

Has anyone seen the talking Mickey? They did a playtest like 5 months ago. I wonder when that's gonna come out permanently?
