Okay, I've got Halloween Trip Reports, Blogs and Happiest Haunts Info in Post #1, as well as some Halloween Time info from 2010!

If you have a Halloween Time TR you would like me to add, let me know where to find it so I can link it in Post #1.

Woo hoo! I've got your TR link added in the first post, LKD! Thanks for volunteering it. I know there are more people out there with Halloween TR's and lots of photos - I recall seeing them in the past (though maybe they were for 2008 or 2009, but that's fine). Unfortunately,they have drifted so far into the murky depths of the TR section that it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. So I have to rely on my memory and also on all of you wonderful people to guide me to any Halloween Trip Reports of interest!

Kristin - what about you? As big a Halloween Time fan as you are, don't you have some Trip Reports hiding somewhere? If so, we certainly need to add a couple of them!

 

[iKristin]

I started one last trip but when my trip ended up being so horrible I quit following it I'm hoping to actually get to make one this time around!

Oh, gosh, that's right! I remember that now (I think I was reading along with your TR)! That's right - you had the whole mess with the hotel and then you had to wait for the refund and all that. You ended up switching hotels, didn't you (which was not planned)? Your trip got off to such a bad start. Somehow you were able to make the most of it and have fun at the parties. I guess I lost track of the TR after a while and never knew if it was finished.

Well, here's hoping that your Halloween trip this year will start off much, much better!



Hmmm....what about Vala? Vala had a TR for a while (which I've lost track of) with lots of character photos. Was that a Halloween TR? Vala, are you out there?

 

[iKristin]

Yeah I'm hoping for a NON rainy trip this time around haha

Yes, I am around and yes, it was a Halloween trip report. 2009 though - did not get started on 2010 just yet unfortunately.

So I am playing around on photobucket. Look at what I made:

You forgot to add my TR Sherry to the thread. Here is my link to my TR on Oct. 1st - 3rd, 2010.

[post=38439390]mvf-m11c' Mickey's Halloween Party Weekend at the DLR" (October 1 - 3, 2010), starts Post # 40[/post]

 

[Sherry E]

Thanks, Bret! And thanks so much for giving me the Post # where your Halloween TR starts so I don't have to look it up. That saves me time and helps a lot!

I am surprised I've remembered the TR's that I have remembered already, without help (and the blogs, too!)! That's why I asked all of you guys here to let me know of any good Halloween TR's out there. There's no way I can keep up with all of them otherwise. (And I'm only adding certain ones to that section of the first post, with either lots of photos or lots of details - or both.)

I'll add yours in just a few seconds, Bret - thanks again!




And Vala, thank you, too - yours stuck out in my mind because I remember there were lots and lots of character photos! It doesn't have to be a 2010 TR (although when you get that one going, let me know). I'm including 2009 and 2008, too. I'll even include 2007 if the TR is a really good one! So thank you for the link.

Plus, I HAVE to have something from you in that first post, Vala, seeing as you were there with Kristin and me (and I think PHXscuba was there too) when that first Halloween thread began - way back in the beginning (which was, like, less than a year ago but it seems like it was five years ago!)! As big a Halloween fan as you are, how could I not include a link to a Halloween TR from you on Page 1? So I'll add yours in when I add Bret's in a few seconds.






I find that it's risky directing people to TR's or threads that are older than 2008, because most people use Photobucket, and I notice that many of the links to older photos are no longer valid, or the accounts are no longer active or some such thing. In fact, in the first Halloween thread (Superthread, Part 1, I guess), I had included a bunch of Halloween-related links to various threads and photos scattered about on this forum...which were all good when I first looked them up in 2008 or so, but suddenly had become invalid by 2010! More than half of the photos I linked people to were no longer showing!

I think there are a lot of people who load things to Photobucket for a certain purpose, then let the accounts go inactive or they move photos around and change the links. So even though I know there were a couple of great Halloween-related TR's from 2008 or 2007 (from people I've not seen on the DIS in ages), I hesitate to hunt them down and add them in to Post #1 because I fear the photos will no longer be showing!

Don't make me blush.

I definitely have not forgotten about doing a 2010 report, just didn't find the time yet. That's probably going to be my last one until 2012 though... right now the schedule says it's probably going to be a Christmas trip this year.

I know what you mean. As much as we all want to share our DLR trips as soon as we get home, so many things happen to delay the TR's. I just did a long TR for my Christmas trip and I felt like it took forever (I'm sure the readres felt that way, too!) and I am actually shocked that I got it done in a month (it took about a full month from when my trip ended to finally finish it) because there were technical glitches galore, work I had to do and other 'stuff' that came up. That's why it took so darn long to get back to this thread and the Christmas thread and revise them/add to them the way I had planned to do all along. There had just simply not been enough time!

Well, if you're planning a Christmas trip, you know which thread to hop on into! The Christmas Superthread!!! Come join us over there when you get your plans going!

And thank you, Vala, for always being such a valuable contributor to the DIS, and especially to the Halloween threads.

 

[Vala]

Okay, now you really made me blush.

Yeah, that's true.
My injury kept me up forever and then it took the Photopass people almost a month to find my disappeared Jessie photos.

That was so freaking typical. For once a photographer was on the ball and really snapped away and the photos were gone. But at least they found them eventually.

Of course I'll eventually make it into the Christmas Super Thread. It just felt way too weird to start posting there until I at least have my dates semi-fixed.

 

[TheColtonsMom]

Well I am onboard and will try to keep up with anything new but I am currently on page 10 of Halloween Superthread #1 Just wanted to say to those who started this Sherry especially there would not be a Halloween Superthread without you! You all worked really really hard at the beginning to get it moving so thank you a year later for all the great info I have already gleaned from you all.

Halloween is a really special time for our family. My two oldest daughter DD24 and DD23 were both born in October so it started with really elaborate birthday/halloween bashes when they were little and morphed into us being "that house" that kids had to hit on Halloween as we went full out on everything from a complete mad scientists lab to a graveyard to The Nightmare before Christmas in our yard & home when they were teenagers I swear we started work on those displays as soon as Christmas was over every year.

My DD23 is getting married this Halloween 2011 with a Purple & Black beribboned cake ala Nightmare before Christmas.

So needless to say we are quite excited for our first ever Disney Halloween followed by a Halloween wedding this year.

We are using our 2010 Halloween costumes for the TOT party in 2011 since they were really great and pirates so fit into the Disney thing. Colton (DS6) is really hoping to get a pic with Capt Jack while in his costume. Here is a pic of us from the front page of the local paper during the town Halloween party in 2010.

So keep the Halloween spirit going until I catch up!

Way back in august you were mentioning Rankin Bass, one of the things we have in common and you said they did not do a halloween special. Wanted to let you know there is one out there. It is only VHS never went to DVD (yet) and originally aired in 1972. "Mad Monster Party" trailer video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MAMamaibEM

 

[funatdisney]

Thank you for sharing. I remember seeing some scenes before. I may have seen it before. Wish it was in DVD. Maybe we should petition ABC Family to air it this year as part of their 13 Nights of Halloween.
