It would be so super fun if Toontown was open for the Halloween party and you could trick or treat at Mickey/Minnie/Goofy/Donald's houses! Sadly the whole area will probably be closed off because of fireworks.
thanks!
Hmmm....You know, Liza - you may have just shown us something new that we have not seen before!! I did not make it into ToonTown last year during Halloween Time to be able to say if those things were there or not, BUT my inclination is to think that they were not there...because, surely, someone would have found those ToonTown pumpkins and posted some photos, wouldn't they? No one has ever posted any photos in our Halloween thread of anything Halloween-ish in ToonTown...until now!! So maybe these ARE new??
I actually like ToonTown a lot, and I love what they do with their Christmas decorations. I always thought that ToonTown would be a great place to really play up the fun aspect of Halloween. Every house could have a pumpkin, just like real houses, as though Mickey and Minnie are waiting for trick or treaters!!
So now I know I have to make it back to TT for HalloweenTime too!!
I understand why they have more Christmas decorations at DLR. I like being totally immersed in the Christmas spirit and feeling all over DLR. I like that every corner of the resort is covered in holiday cheer. Christmas is, I guess, a much 'bigger' holiday than Halloween is, and is taken seriously by more people. It is both a religious and a 'fun' holiday.
Halloween, while fun, is not as widely accepted as a reason to celebrate by many people. In fact, some highly puritanical folks see Halloween Time as a celebration of evil.So I guess DLR just doesn't make as big a deal of it because it's not as big as the Yuletide season.
But I really do wish that they would do more with the Halloween stuff at DLR. It's not nearly immersive and all-encompassing enough for me!! I want more decorations everywhere!!

The Toontown pumpkins are always there. I have a picture of my son posing with one of them from his May 2010 Birthday trip. I thought it was weird that there were jack-o-lanterns out in May
See, I would have had photos of whatever was in that play area IF the camera I was using that day hadn't gotten rained on and died. It died on me right when I was in the middle of trying to take photos of stuff in ToonTown, coincidentally.
So I was distracted and annoyed and probably just blanked out about the other pumpkins being there.
Since I'm the big Disney freak and he only likes it, and mostly just puts up with it for me 
... I make sure we don't spend much time there
I agree about the pumpkins in TT probably being new.
I have to say "probably" because even though we have a 6 year old, we don't spend much time in TT. It's DH's least favorite place of the entire DLR. He hates it there ... says it's always full of a bunch of grouchy parents and screaming / crying kids
and now it seems like they have a Halloween-related post every other day, after the season has started!!
Can't wait, going to try to finish packing today and tomorrow. DDs 11/10 have one more week of school and DD 13 has 2 more weeks. Then it's my turn to post some pics, if I can figure out how.

We ended up back in the park yesterday, unplanned but fun! It was really hot, and I so feel for the people that are going to be there over the next couple of days as it is only supposed to get hotter. 
Lines were bearable, did HMH again and it was quick moving again. We met some of the villains, and that was great! They really play their characters. This has been one of the best Halloween seasons I have seen!
Thank you for all of the so sweet amazing comments on my photos. I am so happy to share them and that ya'll are enjoying them. I walked around all yesterday thinking of the Halloween thread and getting some shots I could share. *Nerd*
