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

Thank you, amamax2 -

All map photos in this thread are listed under "Maps" on the Table of Contents!! I think I also posted the MHP map photos under "Party Pictures..." too. I update the ToC every day (really, it's more of an "Index" in format, but because it's at the start of the thread, I called it a ToC).

And, as you said - it's not that we won't or can't answer questions - it's just that a lot of people ask to see certain photos or obtain certain info and I think that if they check the ToC first, they will probably find what they need - or maybe even things they didn't know about - much easier than they would have expected to if they (or we) have to scroll through the thread to find the photos!!

I think I will go read it
Have fun at Disney on Ice! I haven't been since I was like 4 or 5!!

My TR is always open to read. I loves it. Even if this TR pales in comparison to previous years in the photo department. But there was a reason for that.

The last time I saw Disney on Ice it was for Finding Nemo and I was still in high school. I'm so excited for tonight!!

Sherry!! I think I'll start moving the TOC back down to post #2 sometime in the next couple of days.

Did anyone sign up for the Gingerbread deal @ Brennan's Jazz Kitchen? My notes say they are doing it the 23rd, 24th & 30th. I would LOVE to see pictures of that later this month.

Yes, we booked the Haunted Gingerbread House making on 10/23. I'll definitely take some pics an post.

my costume came today!

any tips on how to make a puffy skirt less puffy?

Maybe take out some of the underskirt? Do you have a picture of it? Laying on it would work too. How poofy is it?


Ooo! I'm so excited for friday!! I still need to try on my Lottie dress though Haven't tried it on since July

Must go finish my TP now!

 

[Spacepest]

Yay! I'm getting a mini vacation to Anaheim.

I've got tickets for a Tuesday Disneyland Halloween party!

Plus, hubby booked a VIP package for Knott's Halloween Haunt. (You know, the big one--with the tickets,meals, room, tshirts, and front of the line pass).

I'm so stoked.

Ack! The board ate my post.

Quick recap:

Party was a blast and just as fun as Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, even without the parade.

Candy lines were a bit long but moved quickly. Some lines moved in both directions.

Crowd level was great! Indiana Jones was walk on if that tells you anything. I had a big stroller and didn't bump into anyone. The trick or treat line by big Thunder Ranch was pretty popular but we zoomed through--no problem.

Weather was perfect. Just needed a long sleeve T-shirt at night.

Amazing costumes, hands down the best was the guy who dressed as a singer from Kiss although the guy with the beard who dressed as Tinkerbell made me chuckle.

Watched the fireworks next to the camera/picture place. Got there half hour before--no problem and didn't feel cramped during the show.

Two things: A lot of the stores on Main Street closed prior to the fireworks as did the carousel, Mr. Toad, Pinocchio, Snow White, and Peter Pan (those probably reopened but I am not sure because we left after the fireworks.)

All in all, it was great!!!! Will definitely go again. Hope this gets your spirits up and helps you get even more excited for your trips!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!

I was told you wanted proof that Malificent was there?
Here you go She was flirting with Gaston which made me laugh so hard

 

[PrincessMaleficent]

LKD you just made my next 16 days or so. I so want to see her and take a picture with her. Maleficent is my favorite!!!

Poor AmyPond! You've been traumatized for life by that heat wave.

I think you need to plan another trip STAT to make up for it.

Well, this was actually our second trip in the past few years where we had record high temps. So sadly, it was nothing new for us.

Also, sadly that was our last trip for a while. Not just to Disneyland, but it was our last vacation, in general. We're taking a break from vacations because we'd rather spend on money on things we'd like to do around the house. So goes the territory of being an adult.

I have decided to book Goofy's Kitchen for brunch on the last day of our October trip. DH and DD(15) don't really like breakfast items, so I called about what items are served for brunch. Found out that it is really the best of both worlds. They have breakfast items and lunch items with a carving station provided. I have eaten at Goofy's Kitchen, but not for brunch.

I don't recall a carving station for breakfast/brunch? They have a wide variety of things, though.

In any case, I could have told you - or shown you - what was at Goofy's breakfast! I've only been eating there since 1992! I just posted a link to a bunch of Goofy's buffet photos (not mine; they belong to Disneynerd420) in a Goofy's thread earlier today. The OP was asking about if they should do brunch or dinner. Disneynerd420 took photos of every single thing (almost) that was at the Goofy's breakfast buffet. Great, comprehensive photos!! Check out the thread from today: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=38575153&postcount=18

Thanks Sherry E for the link to the Goofy Kitchen food porn! My DD(12) requested that we eat there when we go later this month. My DH and DD(15) are not big fans of buffets and Goofy's Kitchen was not their number one pick! So I called to see what was offered to be sure I can pick the right time for everyone in my family. Once I heard that there is a carving station for brunch, I knew that Goofy's Kitchen would work for our last day, and made a reservation for 11:20am. We are in a one bedroom villa and I will prepare a couple of breakfasts, lunches and dinners in our room. On check out day, I won't have to worry about preparing something for breakfast and save room for the Goofy's Kitchen.

My DD(12) just happened to glance over my shoulder while I was looking at the food porn, and she is salivating at all those yummy pictures. She is very happy that we are going to Goofy's Kitchen and I am too!

I can't remember if this had been addressed but don't want to go through the whole giant thread

Regarding the early entry into the parks prior to the Halloween parties.... you can enter early with costumes, right? We're planning on doing that but don't want to get turned away in our costumes!

Disney has noted on their official blog that you can enter in costume for the early admission hours (i.e. at 4 PM on Friday). I've seen photos of people waiting in line for the early entry to the park in costume, so you'll certainly be fine if that's your plan.

But I've even heard the behind-the-scenes policy is actually that you can wear your costume all day (!) on party days. I think a Jack Sparrow even got in the other day, before the party start time (he had to remind the CMs of the policy), and I know someone reported having seen a couple adults in costume prior to the early entry hours.

Have a great trip!

 

[LKD]

Yes I have CM friends who confirmed getting notified on the new rules
You can go in all day in costume, even the morning as long as you have a party ticket!
