Just an update on my trip so far.

I am booked into the HOJO for 805 total for 10 days.

Got flights from seattle to long beach for 1185.

Got a rental car for 225 for 11 days.

Now just to buy tickets, getting 7 day park hoppers, a day at knotts, a day at san deigo zoo and a day at sea world. Worked it out to be about 1400 total for that.

Thinking of doing a fun downtown walk trip somewhere in there.

Working full tim already lookin at things

Wow - It is wonderful the dates are posted already. jerneysgirl thank you so much for the information. I've been out of town enjoying the Renaissance Festival and came back to thrilling Halloween information! Thank you and I'll update Septembers thread.

Oh that Ren Faire is one of the things I MOST miss about living in Mesa. We have even discussed hitting it when we go to DL next spring.

Sherry - I am so looking forward to Halloween this year and another trip to Disneyland. Things are looking positive that we will be able to go. I'm very happy about these dates as it lookks to me the halloween parties may start on 9/30 meaning we would miss the first one but go to the second two. I am hoping for the same days of the week, but we will soon see. I hope you are right that Disneyland powers that be are finally getting it that those of us who have to travel would love to be able to plan out a bit more in advance than 4-6 weeks. I think as the parks get closer to this phase of completion with the new turn styles, carsland and the Hollywood trolley, we may see some changes in Disneyland park mainly in the section of autotopia. On the one hand I would be sorry to see it go (I remeber it from my childhood and still have my license), but on the other hand they could put in something new and different. One other thing I like about the cars is the seating for 6. My whole family can fit in one car. Any whoo... I have been socking things away for my kiddos and am looking forward to visiting HM, Space, and the other decked out places at Disneyland (and hopefully CA) this coming fall.

We had a wonderful time! It was the first time we have been able to go back in a while and enjoyed it immensely. The food the ambience of a time gone by. It was interesting to learn from one of the retailers there that there is a Dickens fair in California in November. A new time period to experience and an excuse to visit DL when the Christmas Decorations are out. My daughter's found their Halloween princess costumes at the faire! Huzzah!

Where would that be? I have gone a few times to the Ren Faire, but it has been at least a decade ago. Would the Dickens fair be in the same place? I would like to go.

It is in the Cow Palace Exhibition Hall 2600 Geneva Avenue, San Francisco. Last years dates were four weekends starting the day after Thanksgiving through December 19th on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You can see more information at dickensfair.com.

There is a town in North Dakota...Garrison, N Dakota actually that at Christmastime the WHOLE town reverts to a Dickens era village...every townsperson you see is in full regalia I mean they never even run to the grocery store without being in costume! They all speak the era and it is almost DL immersive if it weren't for things like the chain businesses having their regular signage. A little closer for us than a Dickens village in CA but it is really fun! Hope the CA one is good!

Hi Everyone, just wondering if you think the Halloween parties will be Tues. and Fri nights again this year?

Hi Everyone, just wondering if you think the Halloween parties will be Tues. and Fri nights again this year?

Hi, Jen!

I'm almost positive Fridays will be involved. Fridays are always party days. Since the party moved into DL last year and away from DCA, I guess they settled on Tuesdays as the other day. Since it will be held in DL again this year (I don't think there is any doubt of that happening), most likely Tuesday will be included again.

When the party was in DCA, Fridays were still part of the mix, but there was at least one year when other days were added in to the party schedule as October progressed. For example, I recall that when it got to be the last couple of weeks in October, there was like a Wednesday thrown in, and a Thursday, I think, and then, of course, whichever day Halloween fell on.

Unless DL had a problem with Tuesdays and Fridays last year, I'm sure that's when the party will be held again.

I do know that there have been Mickey's Halloween Treat or Treat parties on Thursdays.

Last year, I booked my vacation dates in October from a Tuesday to a Friday, thinking that we could attend the trick or treat party on Thursday which was the day we had attended the year before. I remember feeling relieved that I had a check in date on the night of a Party (Tuesday), and I didn't have to worry about changing my vacation dates at the last minute. That can be very difficult when booking a DVC room in May.

Sigh. I love reading through here but I think I have to admit to myself that I wont be getting in a Halloween trip this year. Maybe my cousin and I can try again next year. Phooey.

 

[mvf-m11c]

MHP was great last year during the Halloween season and it would be neat to do it again later this year. I hate to admit it, I can't do it since I have some other plan trips to DL in November and WDW in December.

It would be nice to be down there during St. Patrick Day Sara, but I am still up here in a rainy day in Sactown.

 

[Funball]

rainy? it's like blue skys and sun here.....well happy st. patty's to you anyway brett..


...do you think they will change up the halloween party this year?
