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

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

Aw that's too bad, makes for a nice little souvenir. With all the money they're making off guests you'd think they could include nice little commemorative Halloween freebies with the purchase of your Halloween ticket. Even if it's just a cheapy pin or cheapy toy, any little collectible something that a park fan would appreciate and keep. I know this didn't exist back then but how cool would a little Halloween party souvenir from the the 60's or 70's be? The Halloween park maps are a nice souvenir, but I hate the candy bags that they pass out. Really should have a MNSSHP theme and not Disney advertisements.

Grim_Grinning_Girl are you the etsy window sticker maker??

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?

Yes. We turned in the bar-coded ticket we printed at home. The CM at the turnstile gave us special tickets for the party that were printed on the same ticket blanks that our park-hoppers were on. So they would fit in the FP machines. We never tried to use them for FPs, though, so I can't tell you for sure whether it would work or not.

I agree -- it would have been nice to have something as a keepsake. I was thinking that during the party.

Yes it's me, my little mustached skeleton guy gets around . Cool we're both on Disboards, hope things are going well!

 

[iKristin]

Haha that's how I realized it, by your icon. Me and my awesome window stickers are doing wonderful

It actually never occured to me that the ticket for the Halloween party might not be able to get fast passes. Does anyone know for sure that you are able to get FP with the halloween party ticket?? AND....if we come into DL at 3pm, would we be able to do FP with the Halloween ticket???? Also.....I'm curious how busy it actually is for the party?????

 

[JH87]

yes we are joking around Woodduck has a sweet tooth and wants all the candy for himself.

haha oh ok...

i love those!! i love seeing any disney-themed stuff on cars (and mine has nothing! i need to fix that...)
i want a mickey antenna ball but i have a weird antenna, it wouldn't really work out.

 

[iKristin]

yeah I want a Disney antenna ball but I have no antenna I found a cord so I can hang them around my rearview mirror though

 

[iKristin]

There are no FP with the Halloween tickets because there are no FP at all during the party

Aww. I never thought about doing that. Hmmph. Looks like I have to go back!

Like I posted earlier, we never tried to get a FP that afternoon. But since the party starts at 7pm and the park closes at 7pm, I just kind of assumed that all the FPs were probably gone by the time we arrived at the park for the party. We'd spent the early part of the day at DL so we had a bunch of FPs that we made sure to use before 7pm. Wish I could be more helpful about this one...

 

[iKristin]

Took me SO long to find the cord lol, it's only 49 cents for one!! Here is where I found it http://www.antennaballstore.com/catalog/DISPLAYACCESSORIES.html

Right.....that makes sense. But what about when we get there at 3pm???? We probably still wouldn't be able to get any FP's until say...... 6pm???? I'm guessing......no.

Was it very busy for the Halloween party itself??? How were lines for the rides.....during the party?

 

[iKristin]

I didn't think about that...hmm...we'll have to find out lol

 

[iKristin]

Hey I just wanted to share this really cool (and photo full!!) page on the Disneyland Halloween Time!!! http://www.family-vacation-getaways-at-los-angeles-theme-parks.com/Disney-Halloween-Pumpkins.html

 

[Halloweenqueen]

Ok, I MUST get those hitchhiking ghosts car stickers! Where did you get them?

 

[skiingfast]

Keep in mind that FPs are issued for a return time after that park closes. Also they are not good after the park closes.

In you case you may find some with a return time within 3 hours, but if so the attraction probably doesn't have a long stand by time anyway. If it did they FPs would run out much faster and be of no use afterthe HP start time
(which is technically the time the park closes that day).

We were able to ride everything we wanted to with minimal waits. I can't remember if we tried HMH, though, since we'd ridden on it several times earlier that day. I'm pretty sure we did, though. We were at the hub on Main St for the fireworks (and the 1st parade), then went on rides until midnight. The subs were a 5-min wait, as was Autopia.

From around 5:30 - 7 it was absolutely crazy, though.

Things thinned out before the parade when the CMs started checking for wristbands and asking people to leave.

Hope this helps.
