I just caught up on the last 5 pages while sitting in the car waiting for my daughter lol. I just wanted to quickly post about the characters.

1. The villains are out all day from 11:30 am to 6:30 pm. There is always at least one villain out. Sometimes I saw 2 or 3 and once there was only 1 (the hag). What we did was sit on the steps across from the villains area and watched for a new villain to start walking up for their turn. Then we practically ran in line so we knew we'd get that villain. They change villains out every 30 min, and every villain has a photopass.

2. Costumed and non-costumed chatacters are out all day AND night randomly on Main Street. You can ask at City Hall when certain characters will be out. We asked the photopass CM when Donald would be back as we just missed him and she went to find out for us. Sure enough an hour later he was back out and we got him right away. The lines on Main Street fill up soo fast. I mean you blink and there's already 20 plus people there for main characters like Mickey and Minnie.

3. We saw Jack and Sally out at 3-330 once and between 4-430 twice. No photopass was there when we went.

Sara, all you have to do is right click on the pumpkin and then click Properties. Copy the code/address you see, then come back here and use the Insert Image feature, and voila - bouncing Mickey pumpkin!!!

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

It has been a really nice day! It's putting me even more in the mood for all of the great holidays and festivities coming up.

Happy fall everyone!!

WaHoooooeeeyy. Mr. UPS man just delivered our tickets, luggage tags, photo pass, hotel, and transportation vouchers. The photos have been terrific and now I can't wait. Thanks to all the contributors. I also visited the Disney site and they have times up for Aladdin on 10/17 and 10/19. All my tours have been booked. I am on cloud nine now that everything is arranged.

ICK! I just went to weather.com to check out the forecast for Disneyland. At the top of the page there is a "special weather statement" that talks about super hot weather! YUCK!!

http://www.weather.com/weather/today/USCA1306

I am so unlucky. I should have known the weather would be bad for my trip.

 

[Funball]

noo hot weather good. cold weather bad!!

 

[AmyPond]

noo hot weather good. cold weather bad!!

Not to me. I was hoping it wouldn't be hotter than say, 75 degrees. But it looks like the highs will actually be in the 90's for at least part of our trip. That makes me very, very sad. 90's makes it very difficult for me to really get into the Fall/Halloweentime.

Oh well. I can't control the weather so it was either risk having the hot weather or to plan our usual January trip instead. But I really wanted to see the Hallweentime stuff.

you will amy. but still at night the weather cools.. but the days are nice! i love it when its hot i do not like the cold...

 

[where's_my_prince]

I like the cold weather which is part of the reason I moved away from socal. LOL. I hope that it will cool down later in the week for us. We plan on doing the parks Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

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!!

Congratulations!!!

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...

Very cool workspace!

 

[Disney Dreams]

...I went through my file...

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

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.

Aha! I went and dug a little deeper (clearly my "file" is not in any particular order LOL) and look what I found:

Details:
On left:
- On the inside map guide, next to Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy it says, "NEW!" So, 2009.

Middle:
- On the inside, there is a blurb about Tiana's Showboat Jubilee and it says, "Starts November 6."
- Haunted Mansion is listed still as "Haunted Mansion Holiday" on the map listings, but...
- Space Mountain is merely listed as "Space Mountain," not Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy.
So, I am guessing this map was November 1st????

On right:
- on the inside, it lists, "The Disneyland Story, featuring Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, whereas the middle map says, "COMING SOON! The Disneyland...Lincoln"
I am guessing this is late November given Santa's Reindeer Round-up and all other Christmas festivities (including snow) is detailed.

- Dreams

Totally off topic, but Disney Dreams, I've always meant to ask - what is that a picture of in your signature?
