Wowza...gone for a day and a bit and already on page 15 of Part 2!!!!!!!!! Crazay!

Thanks to all who are organizing this second thread of Halloweentime and to everyone posting pics to get the rest of us pumped up!

Might be a dumb question, but do you think they will have the same Halloween Merch later in October? I'm hoping they have enough to last for the whole season, but you never know. So, so many things I want to buy

Random semi-OT:

Guess who got the Maleficent pin in the Disney Store website's Halloween mystery set? I am so proud... that little gem is limited edition of 25, and I only bought one box!

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????

November 1st or even a couple of days after that, yes. I remember getting that one signed by Tiana and Naveen, and we came back to Disneyland the 9th of November last year.

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!!

Woohoo!! so exciting! I'm going to be looking for you here at the end of November to find out where you will be so I can say Hi when we come the the restaurant you are hosting at!

So here I am reading part 1 thinking wow everyone is sooo busy and not posting.
I have the thread open automatically to pick up where I left off...silly me. Now I have to go back and read what 10 pages? Oh wait it is 15 pages now.....
Later, Sue

Oh totally totally OT here but I happened to notice you were from Gilroy.... we have a stop in Gilroy on our list of things to do next trip.... we love Gilroy garlic! Lol.... our local grocer gets it in for us to save us the long drive! one year we want to hit the festival in summer and try some garlic icecream!

I am right along with the hot weather hater's I guess I live in Minnesota for a reason - we only have two months of hot weather.

Not a dumb question...in fact, a very good one. In my experience, most of the things I want to buy of the Halloween Merchandise is gone by the end of Oct. We always go for a few days during the last week of Oct., and I find it frustrating that what I had in mind to purchase is sold out or, in the case of t-shirts, they don't have the sizes I want. Luckily for me, I make it a point to go to DL early in the Halloween Time season to buy what I had in mind. So my rule is, if you see it then buy it!

I'm a snow miser too, as I hate the heat! I hope that this heat spell doesn't reach into my trip next weekend, but if it does, I'll just drink a ton of water and enjoy it anyway. I don't mind dry heat, I just hate the humidity at times that goes along with it, especially high humidity. I'm finally in the single digits at 9 days YAHOO!! Have a great day everyone!

It would be nice if the weather is average. It is really nice here in Sacramento and I hope it won't be too hot during my trip next week. Just like you Belledozer, I am only 8 days away till my trip. Have a great trip and I might see u down there.

I like both!! But I want the correct weather for the season... If it's July, I want it to feel like summer.. In December, I want to put on my Uggs and get toasty in front of my fireplace. The weather lately is too weird. Yesterday it was cold and I heard that on Monday it's supposed to go up to 105

I am hoping that it stays on the warmer side thru next Friday.. I don't want to wear a jacket over our costume for the MHTP.

I am hoping for nice warm weather when we are there the first week of Oct. We have had a cooler than average summer wiht a lot more rainfall than is normal already the last several months- I really am wanting that nice sunny california weather!

I'm 5 days away from my trip!!!!

8 days away from DL unfortunately, but that's ok, still not that far away compared to the 200+ I started at!!!

You are right about that Andrea. Time goes by quickly and all of a sudden it is time to hit the road to DL.

Those 5 days will fly by and then you'll be at DL before you know it!

 

[DisneyStitch626]

You guys are right!!! I am getting sooooo excited!!! I don't know if I am more excited for me or to see the two coming with us that have never been there before. I am so excited to see their reactions to the place.

 

[mvf-m11c]

I would say both you and your two party members will have a awesome time. Since you are going to DL during the Halloween season. It will be your friends first time to DL so it will be even more magical for them.

11 days out ourselves and can't wait. What is really great is my father will be joining us for one of the Halloween Party nights. He used to take me as a kid all the time, but hasn't been to the parks in over 15 years. So it will be fun to have him see all that has changed.

Last year our summer here was alot hotter than normal, so I was glad when we had cooler temps in the summer months this year. But fall started alot earlier than it normally does, and in one day on Sept 3 we had more rain in that one day than in the entire months of June, July, and Aug combined. We are also on track for the wettest September on record, with rain fall over double the norm and climbing. I'm counting down the days till DH get's back from his business trip, as 3 days after he get's back I'm off to the mouse. I'm already packed, and just have to do a bunch of little things just before the trip next week and that's about it. Am really excited about my trip and can't wait to go!

I just checked weather.com and it shows a high of 96 on Monday. Kill me now! Every time I look at the forecast, it gets higher and higher each day. By the time we get there, it'll be in the 100's on Monday and Tuesday and then 90's the rest of the week. Boo.

Right now, the temps for the second half of the week are okay but I'm sure they'll disappear.

I will not be waiting in any long, outdoor lines. I will be spending a lot of time on air conditioned rides.

I really think the worst part (besides just not liking the heat) is that even with the Fall decorations, I worry it just won't feel very Fall-like at all. And that just makes me a bit sad. If the parks were open super late, then at least it would be cooler at night but we've chosen weekdays so everything closes early. Oh well. Still hoping for lower crowds, at least!

The hottest day I've been at Disneyland was close to 110 degrees. Hopefully it won't be that bad. I'm only bringing t-shirts, not tank tops.

I am so jealous that all of you will be on vacation within a week or so. I still have 33 days left. I will be hanging around to hear everyone's trip report.
You all have a great time in DLR.
