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

[Eeee-va]

As busy as the park was this last Friday and Saturday, I guess it wasn't TOO awful, because I'm already wishing I was back there!

 

[iKristin]

Yeah there weren't lines today at all for the time I was there. I left the parks around 3 to go spend the day with my cousin and our friends so I don't know how it was after that

I'm already wishing I was back there!

Me too! I think being able to wear a costume and having friends who love to act silly and be in character all night really ruined me for future Disney trips. I already starting trying to devise a way to go for my bday next week, but I know my Peter Pan crew can't afford the higher priced Friday tickets. I suppose we'll all just have to get together on Halloween for a reunion.

We are just back. Went on the Happy Haunts Tour 10/18 and had terrific time. The tour starts by the Red Trolley billboard across from Tower of Terror. You get a light up lanyard with a key inscribed Ghost Relations which you get to keep. The 5pm time is green team and the 5:05 is the blue team. You start out with 3 guides, then ride the Tower of Terror. Once you get off that ride you are met by Gracie, your Ghost Guide. She tells you about the terrible effects of candy corn, how trick or treat started, legend of pumpkin carving, some info on park decoration and Halloween animation on your way over to DL. She takes you to a certain spot by Innovention that will echo anything you say. She tells you about "Harold" and the reason he lives in the Matterhorn. You then ride Space Mt, Snow White, and Big Thunder RR. While in Frontierland, you will hear about tommyknockers and the story of Icabod Crane. From there you will go to the Day of the Dead display and the Halloween Tree. Gracie will tell you about the history of Halloween. The finale is riding Haunted Mansion and you are given a rice crispie treat. There were no children on the tour. It is very fast paced and lots of walking.

I am noticing that there don't appear to be any reports of seeing the "Monsters, Inc." characters at the MHP - no one has reported seeing them yet. No monsters at a Halloween party? That's crazy!!

I don't know about last year, but in 2008 I think Sulley and Mike were out at the TOTP. So was Buzz Lightyear. No Buzz this year?

Also, Maleficent does not appear to be out consistently. She's sometimes there, sometimes not there.

Buzz is out at his dance party but not for photo's or signatures.

We are here and having a great time, been here since saturday but finally have a quiet moment the rest of the family is still sleeping. As I keep telling family put on your poncho and have a good time (lol). Went to the Halloween party on Tuesday and boy were there are a lot of Disney ghosts. Trying to talk DH into going on Friday so that we can see all the decorations, the parade and fireworks. I did a horrible job of time management we were down in Critter country when the fireworks started. Just had to get the photo opp with Tigger the super slueth.

Well tell more but the alarm just went off time to get two very tired kids motivate for early entry. See you all soon.

A shuttle. I'd be going solo. Although I'm still not 100% sure I'm doing it. I'm about 95% sure - I need to get another AP and I figured, if I have to get another AP I might as well get it now. But if I'm gone all day on Friday I might be missing out on work from my client - which I need. This is why I didn't want to do the MHP on Tuesday, because Tuesday is more likely a day when I would have work coming in and I thought I could get away with being away on a Friday. However, now I find out that there may be work for me on Friday, so I am back to debating on what to do! Ugh....every time I think I have figured out my plans for sure, something happens that makes me re-think it!!

Oh Sherry, I'll be sending you pixie dust your way. I hope you can make it. It would be neat to for you to go to MHP at Disneyland. You certainly deserve it! Keep us posted on your plans.

Crossing my fingers and hoping you get to DLR Friday....

Tuesday they did not have a dance party. There was a long line for photos and autographs with Buzz. They had space girls with him for a while and then 3 green army men arrived and interacted with the line as well.

Just a quick chime in about my one-day jaunt to DL on 10/13:

Ghost Galaxy - I was impressed with the overlay for Halloween in Space Mountain but quite surprised that these weren't friendly ghost like those hitch-hiking in the Haunted Mansion. These are nightmare producing, sleep altering, screaming ghosts.

I was glad I didn't have any smaller children with me although you can tell from my pic I had fun and knew where the photo was being taken

At the park now not many lines at all and no rain. I was just standing at the pardoned turkey looking at her and all of a sudden I felt someone behind me, it was Pocahontas lol.

How cool I have never seen her! Please tell me you took photos!

Just home, tues was really wet, but the lines were awesome if you put up with it! MHP was OK, I don't think I'll do it again until my son gets older. We went to DCA all day wed and it was a nice day, everything had basically walk on except TSM, we did WOC via Picnic FP's (this was a logistic nightmare, but the show was really good). We went to DL for 2 hours this morning and the crowds had picked up, but it wasn't that bad at 11:30.

By the time we got to Tomorrow land the rain had stopped and the dance party had resumed. DS loved dancing with Buzz he thought that was great.

It's funny, I saw Pochahontas out a lot during my trip at the end of September. 3 days that I was there I saw her just milling around on the walkway past BTMRR towards Fantasyland, multiple times each day. It was nice to see her out in the open again and I always like seeing characters without handlers and lines. So long as people aren't being obnoxious but not many people even noticed her.

Here's some pictures from our first day. I'll have more once I get to day 3

[LKD]

ugh LKD you're so lucky you are going to Three halloween parties!!

It's so fun! I'm addicted!
I'm so excited for Tuesday! I was going to go as Tinkerbell but I froze last friday in my Lottie gown and after reading how chilly it's been so I decided to make her Lost Treasure outfit Time to work some magic and make a capelet, a hat and boots!

 

[Belle Ella]

It's a slow process, but I'm finally getting started on re-organizing the ToC. It will change a lot in the coming days, so don't forget about it if you're looking for things!!

 

[tksbaskets]

jennifur25 great pictures!! I think these are the best ones I've seen of the parade. Your family in costume was adorable

 

[jennifur25]

Thank you!
