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

Excellent photos, Liza - as always!! In fact, I meant to say something about your pictures yesterday - the ones of the pumpkins over the turnstiles - and the pages moved quickly and I forgot. Those shots were so clear, and the zoom lens worked wonders because I loved seeing those character pumpkins up close!! Great angles and vantage points that you used as well!

Thank you Sherry. I actually didn't use a zoom lens. I just used what came with the camera, which BTW was a xmas present for my DH. My DD(15) and I use it more than he does . I just point and shot, try to keep it level and make notes of what's on the picture, and hope for the best. Whew there is a lot to think of. When I was taking the pumpkins shots on Main Street, I kept thinking the next time I take those pictures I want to be on the double decker bus. In Oct, I guess.

DH is the real photographer in my family, and he tries to give me some pointers. He is funny. When I go on these photo trips to DL, he just lets me run amuck and take as many as I wish. The really hard shots (like at night) I ask him to take. I wish we had brought the zoom lens. The next time I go I will.

Thank You!

hey guys just got back from my job interview and it went very very very well!!!
Based on my personality they are putting me in the spot as a restaurant hostess which is exactly the job i wanted, now though all the positions are open so i have to wait til around mid October for them to call me so i can start working! so excited though because that means as soon as the spots available i'm going to be a Disneyland cast member!!

Oh, how exciting! Can't wait to hear where they put you. Congratulations!

Can't believe how fast this thread is moving. Thanks for more pictures funatdisney! I wonder how often they have to change out the real jack-o-lanterns?

I think Elec-TRON-nica is the reason there are little decorations in DCA because its starts Oct 8th another reason might be...

they are setting up photo spots all around DCA for Duffy,where you can take your Duffy and get photos, its gonna be a big deal at DCA since it will be an exclusive, you wont be able to buy him at DL or DTD

Duffy looks so cute. Oh no! Not another plush for me to collect. I might find it hard to aviod it though.

Pumpkins fade fast, especially when craved!! The ones on Main street are not real. I do have some real pumpkin pics from the Round Up area.

I like to take these because they have to replace them and are gone forever.

Another thing to add to my list of must haves. Only thing, I need to limit these must haves.

Umm so I forgot what I was going to say ... .. .oh so about DCA and the Halloween décor—yeah not much, because of Electronica, they have no candy corn acres or anything like that up! They have like fall like garlands on various places near Blue sky Cellar and stuff; I have a photo I am going to post below of the menu out front of WCT of the cute garland! And then the second photo is the Halloween themed lights in Pacific Warf area(located over head when you are near Boudin bakery and tortilla fac.) to me, this is as Halloween decoration-ish as DCA is going to get, witch is fine, cause I think it would clash with the 80’s style feel of Electronica!

looking at all the Fall decor on this thread just reminded me today is the first day of Fall its such a nice fall day too in California, party cloudy and cold

NIce photos, everyone!

i dont remember last years either.....

I went through my file...

I'm pretty sure both of these are 2008, though. Both have mention of "Year of a Million Dreams."

FWIW...

hey guys just got back from my job interview and it went very very very well!!!

Congratulations, that is fantastic news!

does anyone know how late the Woody BBQ round up is open on Saturdays? Esp on Oct 30th? And.... is the French Market.... I think thats what it is called... is that open during the Halloween Parties? Thanks!

They haven't posted any official confirmation about what food places are open during the Halloween parties. I tried a test reservation with Cafe Orleans and was told they couldn't do it, so I assume the table service places are all closed.

I've seen people get reservations for the BBQ for 6.30 PM or later, but that's really all I saw.

Yes, those are 2008.

I am not absolutely positive, but I think they used the Snow White motives last year as well. The Hag one looks awfully familiar.

I just put my mickey bat topper on my car! I LOVE the fall!

 

[AmyPond]

You guys need to slow down! We leave in a couple days. I'll never be able to catch up when we get home!

Great photos, everyone! I'm so excited!

seriously this thread just keep growing!!!

Has anyone made note of the times they have seen Jack and Sally out by the fountains in New Orleans square?

Meeting Jack is pretty much the only thing on my DS3 wishlist. Actually Jack is my sons imaginery friend. He goes everywhere with us . So it would be pretty nice if my son could meet him. But I dont want to spend all my time trying to make this happen.

Let me think... we had an 11.30 reservation for Cafe Orleans... walked around French Market and then spent some time in line... I would say 1 PM last year. But the line was definitely there way before that. We waited at least 20 minutes, and the line grew much longer after that.

The year before it must have been shortly before noon. I distinctly remember abandoning our lunch plans to run after Jack when we saw him coming out of a CM entrance.

Again ask a CM with the "ask me about characters" buttons, they'll know. I didn't have good luck with city hall, but I am told the CM at the wait times board will know too.

If you have a time I'd be in the area at least 20 minutes prior. As I posted above, the line does get very long.

Hey guys! anyone who's been recently, or is there now, did you happen to see if they have the special antenna toppers for Halloween? like maybe the pumpkin head mickey or the candy corn one? thanks in advance for any help!

We were at the parks a couple of weeks ago and I bought the mickey ghost and vampire mickey antenna balls as well as a mickey halloween tree. I did not see a candy corn one this year.

Now that I have my own office, I have started to pimp my space DL style... Here is what I have for Halloween..

I am hoping that they still have the mickey popcorn buckets when we go to the Halloween party on 10/1 I really need one for my collection...
