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

[RweTHEREyet]

Going to the Party on a Tuesday night, and we have several other days in the Parks. And since we have several other days in the Parks, I am wondering if there is any reason we would want to make sure we went into DL early on the night of the party?

We are going to try and get into the 12:40 Aladdin show that day, and then would like to have a nice break at the room before heading to the party, so is there any reason I can't get a nice rest and then head over to DL around 5:00 or so? Party doesn't start until 6:00, so that ought to be plenty early enough, don't you think?

yeah! bret is here! ur like the only guy i know that has been in this thread.. or am i wrong?

I go through mostly all the other threads on the DL thread than the WDW thread. But I don't post much on those threads since I have little experience on each topic. I mostly know the nighttime shows at the DLR and the Holiday seasons so much that I like to post about it. This thread and the Christmas thread are my favorite threads on the boards.

As far I can see it, there is no point of going into the park immediately when the party starts at 6. Going in there early means that you have to be there with the non-party guests and have to wait in long lines until the party starts.

I would rest up after you watch the Aladdin show and head back to the room. If you are planning on staying for MHP the whole night, I would rest up as much as I can until the the party starts at 6. If you want to do a lot of rides during the party night do it after when the non-ticket holders leave the park and go to the treat stations later during the night so you won't have to carry a lot of candy around the park.

Also, check what time the Celebrate parade is that night... we got there right in the middle of it (I think it was at 5 pm), and it was a pain to manuever around...

With the flash and whatnot, you can really see the fake chin. LOL.

Great pictures Mikey!!!!!

These pictures are really setting the mood for my upcoming trip--thanks!!!

Question: We arrive on Tues. the 19th and have tix to the party that night. We do not have admission other than the party for that day (well, I have an ap, but the other 2 in my party do not). We want to celebrate a special birthday for a 10-year-old at BB during our trip, and I thought maybe Tues would be a good time for it. We can get into the park at 3 with our party tix and BB takes reservations at 4 for dinner. They close at 5. Do you think this would be a good way to spend the first part of our 1st day? I thought it would as we'd be in the park but not have to fight the crowds. I'm a little worried that we might be rushed, though. We have all day Wed. in the parks and we leave Thurs morning. What do you think, Tues or Wed for BB?

Will do! I'm excited too!!

So we decided against the party this Friday, and instead decided to buy annual passes and go during the daytime. (since we need tickets for our December trip anyways!) We'll arrive in the early afternoon on Friday. Here's my questions:

Do you think that DL will be absolutely packed between 4:00 and 7:00? I know my DD will want to go to DL Fantasyland first thing, but if it's a zoo...

How packed will DCA get as soon as DL closes for the party? Mind you, we go there with a 3 year old, so it's not like we're going on any headliners.

We've never gone in October before. Should Saturday and Sunday be low, moderate or high as far as crowds go? We try to make rope drop, which I think helps, but I'd like to know what to expect during the daytime.

Thoughts? Advice? TIA!

(I know my pictures aren't fantastic but I decided I'm going to post some anyway. I'm in the process of going through all of them so I'll be posting more in the coming days/weeks.)

These were taken in New Orleans Square on September 28th. They are very similar but I'll post them all anyway. (I think the last one is my favorite.)

Great pics AmyPond! I just love the way they decorate this little nook for the fall and Christmas holidays. Thanks for posting them.

From prior posts I have seen - DL will be a zoo on Friday between 4:00 and 7:00. After 7:00 DCA gets pretty crowded for a while then settles down. I would think after 9:30 or so it won't be too bad but that might be a tad late for a 3 y.o.

I'm hoping crowds next weekend will be moderate but they are usually busy due to fireworks and shows only showing on those days. I would think that the standard getting there early and then taking a break after it gets crowded will be the rule for the weekends.

I apologize if this has been posted elsewhere, but are we allowed to enter the park for the party by monorail from the DTD station?
