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

[Dizneydaz]

We'll it looks like we are 99% sure we are going to the party on Tuesday. I'll have to reread some of these posts for tips.

Quick question-since I'll be ordering my PhotoCD on Wed. from our trip to WDW last month as well as recent trips to DLR, what special PP opportunities are there during the party? I saw on PP Facebook posting that there are special pictures available but (as usual) they only talk about WDW.

So I'm wondering what one-of-a-kind PP shots some of you that have already gone have gotten? Also, where there many PP photographers out with the characters?

TIA

(and know off to look at the weather report for Tuesday since yesterday's weather was nothing like they predicted!)

UPDATED-weather looks good! High of 72, low of 55, 0% chance of rain. Now to figure out what to wear and try to get DD's owl costume finished!

Thanks for posting the pumpkin pictures. You posted some I didn't see there last week.

I'm so sad that I won't be doing a Halloween Time trip this year. The first time since 2006 that won't be going. I am really missing the giant Mickey pumpkin about now!! I keep seeing "Happy Halloween" messages on the Food Network and it's making me want to rush to DLR and revel in the pumpkin-ness of it all!! I thought for sure I was going to pull it off, but after DLR sent me a tempting PIN code offer for the hotels (which is only good in November and up to December 16th, but not good in October), I felt that was a sign to stick with a Christmas trip this year. Still, I am feeling the loss. I really do love Halloween Time.

However, it won't be long before Halloween Time 2011 rolls around (time will fly by, as it did this year), and I am not going to miss it. I'm getting an AP this year, which will still be valid then, and I want to do the MHP next year - wherever it ends up. I want to head to the Round-Up, eat pumpkin-shaped cookies - all of it.

So....I need to see more photos to ease my pain. We don't have nearly enough photos in this thread!! The season is coming to an end in one week - we need to go out with a bang! A picture bonanza!!

Sherry, so sorry you aren't going this Halloween, but as you know the holidays at DLR are the best!

We are planning on going Tuesday. I will be armed with lots of batteries and space on my SD cards. I will take a lot of pictures and share when we get back.

LOL, that's so funny. I actually saw you guys taking this picture as I was walking by! It stood out in my mind because that was one serious bag o' loot!

That is so funny!!! Was I also yelling at my kids, "This is the happiest place on earth, stop whining!" LOL

I've got lots of pictures from MHP, but they're mostly of us acting out scenes. There are a few of the cavalcade that I can post if anyone wants to see them. I'll try to get more when I go the 29th and 30th.

Was the cavalcade pictures from Friday (10/22)? If so, do you have any pictures of the car with the guests in it? My family and I were selected to ride in the parade and I would love to see if you got us in your pictures!!
TIA!

OMG i totally forgot to tell you all I have the best Husband in the world. I had asked on Wednesday if we could possible do the Friday night Halloween party and he said not in the budget (I understood six days in the park is a lot of $$). Along came Friday afternoon a beautiful day, when Jeff surprised me my asking if I would run to city hall and find out if there were any tickets available for tonight. Guess what there was - got a great viewing area for the fireworks (had to sit on my bum for one hour trust me no complaining after 6 days) The fire works were great so glad we got to see them.

Unfortunately, they are from the 19th, when it was a Mike, Phantom of the Opera and someone else who must not have been that good because I can't remember what they were!

Awww, thanks! I posted another thread asking if anyone had pictures from that night. We were stopped by so many people wanting pictures of my son in costume (I had absolutely no idea when we came up with it, that it would be such a hit, LOL). I just hoping a few of them read the message boards and will share their pictures with me

Have you looked at the first page of this thread? In Belle Ella's Post #2, there is a Table of Contents. Look under "Party Pictures." There are photos of the Cavalcade mixed in there.

Yay! Next stop, Christmas at DLR, right? If I recall, that was the plan - to hit both Halloween Time and Christmas Time this year.

 

[Halloweenqueen]

Yes, bought my AP! I'm going with my youngest DD and my friend and her DS.

That's why I'm not in my typical post-Disney depression...I still have a trip to look forward to!

LOL, I wouldn't know. I was too mesmerized by the giant bag of candy.

 

[idkmybffminnie]

Well im back from my trip and attended the party on the 22. I had the best time EVER! I can't emphasize enough how much fun we had. My bf had some flaws in his captain jack costume but we made it work. Because of the flaws, we were an hour late for the early entry. We brought our own bags and glad we did because those bags they give you are tiny. I didn't weigh our candy but we got SO much of it that we'll probably end up passing it out for halloween.

The costumes everyone had on were great, everyone got creative and looked like they were having a blast. The costume of the night goes to the group that was dressed as the electrical parade. Everything about this event was beyond my expectations and I'm already planning on going again next year. I'll post a link to my facebook photo album to share =)

I do ask that this link not be reposted anywhere or that my photos be taken w/out my permission.

back at the hotel for the night...it's raining again Started drizzling just before the fireworks and then continued to get stronger through the second fantasmic showing. Tomorrow is my last day so I'm really sad I don't wanna go home. Spoke with a lot of cast members about jobs at the park since I'm moving here in about 5 months I was even asked at the World Of Disney store a total of EIGHT times if I worked there hehe, I responded to one person "no, not yet"

 

[funatdisney]

Leaving for DLR tomorrow!!! Got most of my things packed and just doing last minute stuff. I have to tidy the house, since we have a pet sitter staying here for 4 days. That added a lot more work! We will leave about 9am, head over to the ranch to take care of our horses (one has a cut on his leg that needs to be cleaned and doctored ~ normal stuff for him. He is such a goof!!). Then it is off to DLR from there. I figured we will arrive around noon. I can't wait.

Going to MHP tomorrow night. DH and I will not be dressed up, but will wear MNSSHP t-shirts that we got in 2006. DDs will be dressed up in western wear which is normal wear for us. I am so excited especially after all the TRs and pictures posted here. It has been one long month and a long time coming. I am not sure if I will be able to post while there. DH will bring his laptop because he will have to work. I really am not peeved by this - this is his first contract this year!! I am just glad he can go and not have to stay home.

Packing up all the costumes tonight for Thursday's flight to Anaheim. I think I'm more excited than DD11!
