Love the nighttime photos Bret!! Thank you so much for posting a scan of the map too. That is going to help me tremendously with planning! I think the only time I really make a plan is for special events like this.

Your welcome Laura.

Here are more pics of the pumpkins in the windows or outside of the buildings on MS USA at night.

"Partners" statue with the Disney characters on the pumpkins by the Hub at night.

This is the Yoda we saw. He was slightly different -

Everyone has such great pictures! Not sure if it's worth it if I post many of mine. Plus, since I was gone for so long, I have no idea what types of things have already been posted. I don't want to repeat stuff.

Ohhhh....I like the ears on this one better!

If anyone from Disney is reading this, I am sure you could make $$$$$$$$ selling Yoda Pumpkins next year....

Bret, I echo those that have already mentioned this but I am loving your nighttime photos. They are so clear. Thanks for sharing.

18 more days!!

 

[CoriCW]

BTW - my 3 are adopted, too!

Here is what I have ready to go so far:
~ Disney Halloween t-shirts for the kids ordered from Disneystore.com (free shipping code right now!). I wanted to make them, but they are on sale and my free time seems to be non-existent right now.
~ Disney Halloween activity books from Walgreens for the plane ride
~ glow bracelets
~ costumes for everyone (except DH who just wears an orange shirt that says 'costume') Now if I can get DD to stop changing her mind.

We just started pin trading last year, and we are hooked. The kids are asking for bag-type things to hold their pins instead of using their lanyards, so I am looking on ebay. I should probably get another bunch of pins for them, too.

I think I saw Disney Silly Bandz at Walmart the other week. If they have Halloween Disney Silly Bandz, I'll get them there. Otherwise those will have to wait until we get to DL.

Oh and I should figure out how to get from the airport to the timeshare when we arrive. Especially since it will be later at night at the end of a loooong day.

Did I already tell y'all we will be there in 18 DAYS?!?!

Things are getting finalized: Made PS's for Cafe Orleans for Sunday, my brother really like their food. Then DH made the announcement the other day that he would rather do the WOC dinner instead of the picnic Sometimes he surprises me.

Just got done telling the kids that at this time in seven days we will be riding Dumbo (they already knew about the trip, but this made it seem real).

Time to start washing and packing so they don't wear the clothes this week that I want them to wear at Disney.

oops: forgot that i was signed in under DH name - - srauchbauer wrote this message.

YAY have fun!
I will be there next week at this time!
Overall, how were crowds today?

Love the pumpkin pictures around the partners statue at night .

I'm in the midst of packing. Leaving at 5 am for the airport tomorrow followed by a 5 1/2 hour flight. Will be in San Diego for three days and then leaving bright and early on Wednesday morning for my 1-Day DL adventure! I'll be going solo and plan to take many, many pictures.

Hi All,
I'm new to the Disboards, and am loving all the great info. Thank you everyone!

I was just wondering if anyone has a rough percentage of adult guests who are wearing a costume to the MHP. We are going on the 19th and have costumes for our DS4 and DD3, and I wanted my husband and myself to dress up, he's just afraid we'll be the only adults. Can anyone tell me if most of the adults are dressed up or in just plain everyday clothes? I'm trying to convince DH to be a pirate!

Thanks all!

 

[iKristin]

I'll be dressed up on the 19th So will my mom! So no worries there, you won't be alone

 

[stitch4336]

Totally LOVE the nighttime pics of the pumpkins around the partner statue - thanks for sharing!

As for adults dressing - we will be on the 22nd Go for it!

 

[tksbaskets]

So glad you get to do this! Can't wait to see your pics.

Have a fun and safe trip!
We would love to see your photos

All packed - two cameras in the carry-on bag. I've learned to bring a back-up the hard way.

Off to bed dreaming of Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy

Welcome! :

I've been to the party for the last 2 years, and many adults dress up. No worries there, and it's so much fun!

Love this thread and all of the pictures. I hope you DISers that attend the party, take pics of your costumes and post them here later.

Here is one of a group DISers from last year. I'm the one dressed as "Annette" from the Mouseketeers.

Thanks!! You've covinced me!! I'll just sneak my husbands pirate costume into our luggage... Heehee! And then have the kids gang up on him, that way he can't say no!! Also, are the fireworks very loud for little ones if you watch them from in front of the castle? My DS4 is sensitive to loud noises, so I was thinking of bringing some earplugs just in case....Thanks everone!!

 

[Eeee-va]

Two questions:

Does anyone know if you can ride the monorail in to the Halloween party, or do you have to go to the main turnstiles?

And can anyone confirm that the lockers are open until the party clears out? It would be terrible to put stuff in the lockers at 4 PM and then find it gone at midnight.

Thank you!

 

[iKristin]

at DCA the lockers stayed open during the parties so i'm sure the DL ones will be too
