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

Since the discussion is bending toward what is happening in the parks right now, I thought this video is fitting since they are setting things up. Sure you will be concentrating on the orange and it may take until you get toward the end before you get what is not quite right.

Thanks for posting this link, skiingfast. Is this the first year there's been an official HalloweenTime FB page? I know that the regular Disneyland FB page always posts updates about HalloweenTime, but I don't recall seeing an actual, separate HalloweenTime page in the past, though I might have missed it. Very interesting!

It might be brand new. I would guess if you're not sure it probably is because you made that huge list of Disney FB pages a while back and didn't have a Halloween page included in it. All the same this one is probably new because when I saw the post on the DL FB page I was a little over the 300th to like it. And it's grown a lot since, so I imagine it was only an hour or two old when I noticed it.


Here is the link to Sherry's post that I referenced if anyone is interested.

It has certainly gotten a ton of 'likes' since you posted it - when I clicked on your link, the Halloween FB page was already up to well over 4,000 people liking it. It caught on fast.

Thanks for the facebook link. I just liked it.

Jessica -

I think that calls for a Creepy Dancing Guy!!!!I know you'll just love the party, and I'm so glad you finally get to experience it this year.

You may not want as much candy as you will end up getting, but there will be a ton of it!

I haven't done the party itself in 3 years and last time I did, it was in DCA. So this DL party stuff is uncharted territory for me - but I am looking forward to it!!! (I have a secret plan in the works, but no one must know details because it is a covert mission!)

I can't wait to see your Halloween window display and store display photos - 'cause I just know you took some!

It's Monday, so that means....


The Weekly Monday Countdown is Here!!!

Sherry, I missed your Monday Countdown post today!!!

 

[Sherry E]

Sherry, I missed your Monday Countdown post today!!!

Aww, thank you, TahoeMom....I didn't do it because I thought no one cared or noticed if I did it! I did do the Monday countdown and weekly theme on the Christmas thread, however, but I neglected this one. I abandoned my own thread!


Here, I will do it just for you....

...Only 4 Days Until
Halloween Time Begins at the Disneyland Resort!!!!​

I didn't get to see that giant Mickey pumpkin last year, so I am glad to be reunited with him again this year!!

Do you mean that they only have it for certain days of their Halloween time?? Or you just happened to miss it last year?

I am soooooo excited about our Halloween trip!!!

The Giant Mickey Pumpkin will be out every day, all day, for the whole season! I didn't get to go to DLR during Halloween Time last year so that was the first year I had to miss the festivities in a while.

But Giant Mickey Pumpkin will be there to greet you when you arrive and step onto Main Street! He's got one winking side (playful, mischievous Pumpkin Mickey) and one non-winking side (regular, happy Pumpkin Mickey), and there are lines for photos on both sides

Great!!! Good to know, thanks for the info...sometimes we miss little things like that (even the most obvious lol)... I am sooo excited about this, never been during Halloween time, it's just so exciting!!

You're welcome!

I think you'll fall in love with the Halloween Round-Up, too. The carved character pumpkins that can be found there are so detailed and intricate. It's really is masterful work. It's pumpkin art! I think that one of the skilled CM's who carves them is named Georgina. It seems like a lot of our DIS'ers met her and talked to her last year. Georgina said that some of the pumpkins only last a week or two, while others last a month. So, basically, the Round-Up is always changing to some degree, because the character pumpkins change every so often through the season. Anyway it's a hidden gem that I would bet a lot of people skip over. It's tucked away, and I bet a lot of people just pass by and never really go in.

Also try, if you can, to catch the Halloween character display along the tram path. It is so cute, but anyone who doesn't take the tram will miss it!

Thanks Sherry! Now I feel better

The Halloween Round-Up tends to be a bit quiet too so it is nice to take a break from the crowds there. I just hope I can remember by camera charger this year - last year I forgot it and I never got to take pictures of all the great carved pumpkins because my camera's battery died

I love reading this thread!! We're only going to be there for one day of the Halloween festivites but it will be on the 31st so it will be a big day!! We're there for a week after as well but we are most excited for the party on the 31st.

We went last year in September and our last day in the park was the first day of the Halloween season. Here are a few of our pics:

My kids don't know they are going back during Halloween. Last year they were saying how they wish they could have been there for one of the Halloween parties so we're so very excited to take them!!

I can't wait to see everyone's pictures of this years decorations!!

You will be horribly disappointed in me! I have absolutely no photos of Halloween display decorations from last weekend. I actually have very few photos period because I was doing photos for the Divas scavvy hunt. Crazy, huh? But I will make up for it for the short time I am there in October, I promise!

Now, missy, when do you plan on sharing your super-secret-plans? I don't think I can accept this.

You are such a tease.

Our kids don't know yet either!! YAY!! We are waiting to tell them about the whole trip until the parking lot!!

Our son is super scared of the "scariness" of Halloween, so I am hoping this will change his mind as he LOOOOOVES everything Mickey and Disney!
