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

[ludari]

A last minute decision with a friend we went to DL yesterday evening and it was packed. Nevertheless, we had a great time and enjoyed the shorter lines for rides. Since we both are local and AP we will be back soon.

Very nice photos Sherry and Liza.

That is a lot of Ghost Mickey Popcorn buckets at the store. Those were so hot last year and it is nice to see that the DLR made a lot of them during the opening date of the Halloween season. Good thing I don't have to get that bucket this time since I got it last year, but I would like to get the coffin popcorn bucket.

Oh yeah, I thought it would be nice to say that I will be down at DL during the Halloween season next Saturday for one day. My dad has some business that day and he booked a flight with him to LAX on Saturday morning. I will be heading back that Saturday night. It will be nice to go during the Halloween season. So looks like I have a lot of picture taking next week for a short time. Thank you once again Sherry for showing your Halloween pictures and I will get the same pics that you took.

Thanks, TK and Bret! Okay, I've got Photobucket open again and am ready to post the next round of photos!

TK, I won't let you down! I've got photos, photos and more photos!!

Bret, I'm so glad you get to go to DLR next Saturday! I know you've been to DLR just recently (for D23), but I also know you love Halloween Time and it would be sad to have to miss it. One day is good for a die-hard photo-taker such as yourself. You can get a lot done with the camera in one day!!

Me! Me! Me!
I am in!!! I have been waiting for the photos since this morning.

I would love to see the merchandise so I know how big of a suitcase I need.

And any new decorations.

Thank you so much Sherry. I just told my DH I needed the lantern, and he asked why?
Duh..Disney..Halloween...what other reason do I need.

You haven't ever let me down! I laughed out loud at the pumpkin carving with Donald Duck! You catch the best details.

OK, your partner in crime had me wanting to go and make a pumpkin muffin. Looked DELISH and the mug was super cute.

Can't wait to see all your photos from yesterday Sherry.

I am really excited to go to DLR next Saturday for that one day. It was fun at the D23 Expo that I didn't do too much at the DLR. That's why I'm hoping that I will get everything done on this one day trip. Just like you said Sherry that I just can't see myself missing the Halloween season this year after last year. My plan for next Saturday is to take pictures of every Halloween decoration around DL & DCA. If I don't plan on going on any rides except for the Monorail, DLRR and MFW I should get all the Halloween photos that day.

Love the photos!! I'm so tempted by the photos, but I really don't want to see too many before I'm there for myself in 2 weeks (wow!) for the party on the 3rd. At the same time I can't stay away, lol.

I love the logo for 2011!

Sherry: am I understanding that you can buy little figures of the pumpkins at the turnstiles?

Yes! They are kind of large and fragile (probably ceramic or resin). And I don't think they are cheap! But you can buy them at Disneyana on Main Street, and I think I saw them in a couple of other shops as well!

Very cool!! Thank you!!

I love that they did that. It is your first sign that something is different at the Park.

Yes, candle holders! At least that's what I thought they were. I saw them at the China Closet on Main Street, among other shops.

Love the pics, thanks for sharing! I'm going to DisneyLand for only the second time in my life, and bringing my daughter who has never been, Sat the 8th. Tuesday the 11th we're hitting the Halloween Party!

We went to Mickey's Not SO Scary Halloween Party at WDW for the first time last year and it was an amazing night! Boo to You and the awesome Fireworks, the trick or treating - and we found the character interaction the best! My daughter had a long 10 minute crazy conversation with Alice and the Mad Hatter, met the fairies for the first time, etc.

I was not able to get the Mickey Ghost popcorn bucket last year (all sold out everywhere ) so I hope I can get one this year. It looks there are a lot of really cute things to buy!

Does anyone know, how is DisneyLand on carrying larger sizes? It's only my last trip to WDW that I started seeing 2X and 3X merchandise. I like my tshirts large (big chest ) so I need a larger shirt! I like to get sweatshirts and t's. I got a couple of Halloween shirts last year but I'd love to up my collection!

We can always count on Sherry!!! I'm so jealous about the dematisse dessert!! I got a Santa Mickey one last holiday season (yup, very small cups) and it was just a peppermint mouse with whipped cream on top, I was so looking forward to the "cake part". Oh well. Thanks for sharing. I've been watching the WDW's halloween threads and they're all stingy with the photos. I don't even know if they have the NBC popcorn buckets. A lot of the merchindise is the same, though, but from the looks of things DL has a lot more to choose from or whoever took inventory didn't count the NBC stuff.

Great pictures Sherry!! Just a question about the popcorn buckets -- are the only ones available with popcorn in them the NBC ones?

If you are talking about the Ghost Mickey, I believe that is actual some kind of lantern and not a popcorn bucket.
But I am curious if there are or will be other buckets around the park? I have only heard (only from 2 people) that the NMC one is in NOS.
I could be totally wrong though.

Oh okay then nvm. lol I thought the Ghost Mickey was a popcorn bucket.

Thanks for posting the photos. I can't wait to see this all for myself. This will be my first Halloween at Disneyland.

I just checked the other day and I do not have a single photo from Disneyland even though I have been three times before. I am about to put this right.
