Maybe post a map, then we will know EVERYTHING!
I feel like that old Mervyn's ad....open, open, open but instead waiting, waiting, waiting I only have 3 weeks to get all the details!

I am also awaiting reports from tonights party. Would also love to see pics of candy- hoping for lots of chocolate like last year.

Gonna start packing a few things, picking up snacks for road trip etc since we leave in 9 days.

I cant wait to see info from tonight!
QUESTION: Are all the counter service restaurants open during the MHP?

 

[SueTGGR]

Disneyland Live posted this video for those that CANNOT wait to see the Haunted Mansion Holiday There is a good view of the Gingerbread House. Very cool!

They have not held any tickets back to be sold on the day. They really are sold out for tonight.

Tonight should be kind of interesting. I live 25 miles away, and it's raining right now.

Hopefully, it's just passing, and will be relatively dry tonight. I'll be taking a bunch of photos and will post.

I'm sure the DL Podcast team will put up a great blog with pics for everyone, too.

I found this awesome corset lady who created her own really great takes on some of the traditional Disney Princesses including a Steampunk style Snow White! She also did Belle, Jasmine, Ariel, Alice, Queen of Hearts, Aurora, Maleficent and Cinderella. Something cool if you're an adult and don't want to look exactly like the standard costumes but also don't want the trashy cheap style costumes.

As soon as Halloween Season starts, this thread starts to fall asleep. I hope after tonight's Halloween Party, it will liven back up.

I would LOVE if someone could maybe post about which restaurants are open this year?

I shall eagerly be waiting.

This thread has been hoppin'! There are tons of views of this thread, and we have had lots of people posting, with photos and all. Maybe it doesn't seem like a lot to you? Believe me, there have been some times in which it (or its predecessor) has really fallen asleep and I have had to do all kinds of things to infuse some life into to it, but this thread has been thriving for the last few months, really. We're good!

Sorry, I was not checking the view counts. I was looking for posts..
I'll wait patiently.

I'm hoping for some live reports tonight.... I'm getting ready for 10/11 which will be our first Disney Halloween Party. Hope to get some good tips for that night.

We just bought our tickets for the party on Oct. 18! Now to figure out costumes!

I'm talking about posts as well as views. It may not seem like it but this is pretty much how things went last year (except more views this year than last year). It's more or less the standard pattern. When the season first began last year, a bunch of people posted recaps and photos. Then there was a bit of a tapering off, and things picked back up again when the first party started, and then there were some remaining, leftover people posting photos only occasionally up to the end of Halloween Time and that was it. Things tapered off again, even before Halloween Time ended.

The activity tends to kind of come in waves, I think. There is a certain novelty to reporting things in the early days of the season or for the first couple of parties, and then people either burn out on reporting or they go on their trips, never to be heard from again! I think that a lot of folks feel that after things have been reported early on, there's no need to report on anything later in the season, and they disappear.

I think we will hear from some folks after tonight and maybe after Monday and next Friday, and then things will probably taper off a bit again.

I'm eager to hear about the party tonight too - I'm going on Monday so I want to know what to expect and where the new treat stations are!

Me too, we will be at the party on Monday. We leave tomorrow and I will be up late finishing some skirts and looking for updates on the party tonight.

Hey just noticed we will be at the same party. If you see a family with 6 girls, oldest dressed as Sally and just about all the other will be princesses, say Hi.

Hello! I thought of you not long ago because I remembered we both got our Disney Visa Debit cards (at least I think yours was a debit, too, and not the credit card, right?) right around the same time, to take advantage of the rewards....and then, of course, Chase decided to discontinue all of their debit rewards programs this year! A whole lot of good that debitcard did me for the not-even-one-year that I had it! It was you who got the Disney Visa, right? Or am I losing my mind (which wouldn't be shocking)?

I also recall your daughter being a wonderful, caring student at school last year, secretly helping another child (was the child autistic?), and how proud she made you (understandably)! Is that the same one who will be dressed as Sally at the MHP?

I will try to look for a group with 6 females! I will be one of the ones at the MHP who is not in costume at all, so it may not be hard to find me/us! I will be with Liza/funatdisney (who has the MHP check-in thread and October check-in thread), and at some point (not sure when) will be meeting up with Belle Ella and smile4stamps!

Wow you have a great memory and are so not losing your mind! Yes on the Visa debit and so disappointed, I loved the free picture, extra bonus money, half off strollers...... That was my oldest daughter who helped out the autistic child and she will be Sally. She started a new school this year and a teacher called to inform us she was student of the month for August (same time as last year). I will keep an eye out for all of you.

Having SO MUCH FUN!

 

[nik76]

We are actually in the Fairwood area of Renton, how about you? This has been the weirdest summer/fall EVER!

So excited for you, only two more days, I hope you take and post lots of pictures!!!

The memory is good (though it is dimming over time!) but, also, if I'm not in too much of a hurry or too distracted with other things, I generally try to pay attention to what most people are saying when they post (especially if it's in one of my threads or a thread I'm actively involved in), even if I don't comment. If I'm not too crazy-busy, I try to make sure to take the time to personally greet and/or welcome as many people to the thread as I can. It helps me to remember a lot of things about people, and I find that most DIS'ers appreciate being remembered!

Stupid Chase...grrrrrr....discontinuing their debit rewards just as soon as we get our cards....grrrrr....

Your daughter sounds like she has wonderful things ahead of her in life! We need more people like that in the world!

I hope we are able to run into each other at the MHP!
