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

[Sherry E]

I am back from our HalloweenTime fun. My trip report is slowly being added.
We did not go to the party this time, but I will make sure to next year.
I was asking a CM about finding some characters and he mentioned that the Lady Tremaine, Drizela, and Anastasia only come out at the party...boohoo for us-but FYI for those attending that it is a rare moment!

Tablefor5 - You love hot weather, so this was the week for you, wasn't it? 113 degrees in L.A. on one day - when you were asking for hot weather a while back, you got it!! The universe listened to you!!

Be sure to post some photos here in this thread so I can add you in the Table of Contents!!

Thank you Sherry for listing these items on this thread. My trip isn't for a while and I have found so many things to shop and look out for from this thread. I am getting confused and the pieces of paper with my notes on them are making my desk very messy! Your ToC posting is coming a very useful tool.

You're welcome, Liza! This thread is in the Info sticky at the top of the forum page, so this is a thread that people can visit year round to see photos and read info. Even when we have to start Part 3, they can still refer to this thread. Seeing that there are so many specific food items and merchandise items that people want to see, I decided it would be good to notate them on the ToC. I'm glad it's coming in handy for you so far.

Actually, I'm helping myself, too - when someone asks, "Is there a photo of the Mickey pumpkin popcorn bucket," I can just quickly go back to the Merchandise section of the ToC, see who posted a photo of the bucket and then post the link or links in a minute. No more searching through pages and pages of the thread (as it grows longer) just to find one photo!!

O like this t shirt that AVP has posted on her twitter page http://twitpic.com/2ttp0b Kind of makes up for the t-shirt I liked, but only came in kid's sizes.

Hey, I'm wearing that shirt RIGHT NOW!

Hey, I'm wearing that shirt RIGHT NOW!

I love that shirt! Is it only available at the special party? I will be there on a non-party day.

That's totally what I figured, but at lesat I'll be going on the last Tues instead of the last Fri!

We are going on the last Tuesday, too. I am hoping that it will be lighter than Fridays.

Not to mention that it documents a history of MHP of a sort. It will be nice to look at this thread, say in July 2011 and have a pic of what different treats and characters were out for the 2010 MHP. Anyway, I will say it again: fabulous job!

 

[Disney Dreams]

Thanks for all the pictures Dreams

Great pictures, thanks Disney Dreams. Only 6 more days and we are off to see the mouse.

Yay for the final week countdown!

Dreams - Thanks for all the pictures!...

Also...I was looking at the pictures you took of the dressed up party-goers waiting to go in. It looks like you might have randomly taken pictures of a group that already started a trip report! They had already posted pictures of their group in the costumes they'd be wearing at the first party. They were going as Anastasia, Drizella, Sally, Jasmine, Belle, and Gaston. I think it's them anyway. How funny!

Glad you enjoyed the pictures. As for the group in costumes that I shared, TOO funny! See, they needed lime green mickeys somewhere on them! I took pics of some other fun-dressed guests, but just chose that one to share. Funny that they are DIS members too!

Thank you so much, Dreams, for the wonderful photos! I love those projections - it's funny, because in the photos the people almost seem to be unaware of the projections happening around them. I'm sure they are aware, but it almost comes off as something that only we can see but they can't!

Funny observation about the projections. I know in the pics I posted, most people on Main Street were either part of the mass exodus because of the announcements airing or were just getting there and seemed sort of overwhelmed with it all. The projections had JUST started when I took those pictures and it was not quite dark yet, so I could imagine people being sort of nonchalant about them.

, and by the way - I know what you mean about needing a dose of Disney to refresh your spirit. I wish I were in a position where I could do that - just kind of hop over there for a quick visit here and there to re-energize or people watch or breathe in some magic air... If I were closer to DLR, I would most certainly do that all the time!

Well, I'm not THAT close, but sometimes, you just have to recharge the soul, even if the drive almost doesn't make sense!

I am also wondering which restaurants are open during the party. Thanks in advance.

If you look at the map I posted, it answers this question for you.

Sherry look what I found:

Okay.... I just HAVE to ask... speaking of - errr - food porn, are DH and I the only ones that busted out laughing when we looked at this picture?

Sherry E - you are the best! I spent all last night and this morning reading all these posts and can't wait to play! Where did you find the Disney print font? I would love to print a LGMH with my name and my daughter Doni's! As an elementary teacher, I am always looking for fun fonts to use on students' papers.

Thank you, imcindy76 - and welcome aboard our Halloween Superthread train! Did you happen to see Part 1 of the Halloween thread? It has tons of photos as well, although it's nearing its page limit (which is why we started this thread).



The Disney font is courtesy of iKristin!!

Kristin - are you out there? Where did you get the Disney font?

 

[iKristin]

I got all my Disney fonts right here: http://mickeyavenue.com/fonts/disney-fonts-list/

They have almost EVERY Disney themed font!!

 

[iKristin]

Oh I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be doing a FULL review of Park Vue Inn (photos included) as well as a FULL review of the TOTP on October 19th with also tons of photos, so look forward to that coming up in 15 days

We were there at DL this morning and I didn't see the Mickey ghost bucket in DL. They just had the regular items and I was curious that DCA had it last night but not DL. When we were about to walk over to DL after WoC and got our buckets at DCA and I thought DL would have them over at DL, but we didn't see at any popcorn stand last night.

 

[mvf-m11c]

They got the Halloween Ghost Mickey Popcorn bucket at DCA. I was kind of surprise that they have it last night. When we read the report that they won't have the buckets later this week. It is great to get it and it complete my trip. I saw a lot of guests walking in DCA with the buckets and ask where they got the buckets and said that they got it at the popcorn stand by Soarin.

Here are my pics of the bucket and the location.

 

[Cesilie]

aww I want a bucket so bad! I hope they have on when we go to the party on the 12th!! its my birthday trip and it would be OH SO AWESOMEEEEEE to get one!

 

[imcindy76]

Awesome!! Thanks so much iKristen! And Sherry E! Thanks (curses? lol) to your thread, I think I will be renewing my annual pass after a year's lapse! Lol!

I'm just a little curious if this is what the DL purple wristband looked like on Friday:

This is what I got from the WDW party in mid September (they started partying a little early). Not gonna get to go to DL's party this year , but at least I got to go to even if it was in Florida. It's was ok by the way, but not a lot of guests in costume. Sounds like the set up and sorting is similar, separate entrance for Halloween guests, wristband, at closing CMs start approaching people for wristbands and kindly asked those without to leave, but no CMs checking at rides or treat stations.

Last night around 6pm, we saw the Mickey ghost popcorn thing at the popcorn stand right outside of Soarin' on the way from Grizzly at DCA. The line for popcorn was really, really long, probably because people wanted the container. We ended up at Disneyland later that evening -- I didn't see them there, but I wasn't really looking for one so I may have missed them.

I'm just a little curious if this is what the DL purple wristband looked like on Friday:

The purple wristband on Friday was just a plain purple one, same kind, but no text or image on it to make it special.

Actually, the CMs gave us a cheap all purple wristband where you could get it at any store. That is a nice wristband for MNSSHP in WDW.

 

[silence]

Aside from the wristband, when you entered the park did you get a "real" ticket? I mean, we have tickets that we print at home, but since we can enter before the park technically closes, I just wondered if you also got a ticket that can be used for FPs?

 

[funatdisney]

Good question, silence, I never thought about the FP.
