Great pics! I'm also a pin collector and was really disappointed at the pin selection at the 10/11 party. They only had 2 pins available, I think stitch and maybe donald? But they were expensive and not party related, just Halloweeny. We asked some CM's (3 different ones I think) and they all said that was all that was available. I came home and ordered some off ebay but that kinda makes them less special to me. This is probably the only thing I was not happy with the Halloween party.

That's a bummer! I got the majority of these on Saturday the 15th, at the store in Frontierland, however, most of them were behind the counter.

The ghost pins (Mickey & Minnie) were a set.

I'm uploading all my pictures right now to Photobucket. Will be posting some of those soon.

So we drove home today and I am in the process of uploading the pictures. Turned out we were standing in the perfect spot for the 2nd cavalcade as we were standing in the front hub regrouping before leaving. We discovered it is tougher to get everything done with extra people but we had a great time though. Didn't take the time to go on SMGG, which made me a little sad but maybe that will be my excuse for going next year! Off to photo bucket to upload. Maybe tonight or maybe tomorrow AM.
Later,
Sue
PS we didn't hit every station loop and we stayed an extra day in So Cal and still came home with almost 15 lbs of candy (between 3 of us collecting)! A great tip for those of you going still: I had almost forgot to keep the trick or treat bags out as we were leaving. I told DH we couldn't hit all but we needed to stop at the ones on the way out. I walked over with DMIL and her step-son. DH and DS waited at the turnstiles as they were ready to drop. Silly them! The cast member saw that I only had a handful in my bag (as the rest was in DH's backpack), she grabbed a HUGE handful and said, "Someone has to take care of Mom!" then proceeded to hold my bag in the cart and fill it up with the other hand. I walked over to my DS and showed him and he was grabbing his bag and walking quickly over to get his share, too. Love Disney generosity and it's amazing cast members!

I didn't get 15 pounds of candy...or 25. There have been a couple of folks who said they got (in the neighborhood of) 5 - 6 pounds, and that's what I think I got. That sounds about right for what was in my bag. Maybe I got 10 pounds at most, but that's being really generous. Perhaps the CM's handing out candy are more generous now than they were on 10/3?? Also, I think they hand out more candy towards the end of the night, whereas I collected all of my candy before the fireworks. Timing could make a difference as well.

As I mentioned when I came back from that party a few weeks ago, there is certainly more candy given out than anyone would know what to do with, and you won't feel deprived of candy at all - it's a ridiculous amount of candy - but we did stop at every single treat trail and every treat station (except for the French Market) and my haul was nowhere near what others have said they got.

I do wish I could go to the party a second time this year! I am in the mood to go to again, for some reason, although I can't because I have to focus on the big holiday DLR trip.

We've arrived! Hit both parks tonight after checking in to the GCH. Finally left when the girls just couldn't handle anymore. However, we got to ride IASW which was our goal for adding a day, since it's set to go into holiday overlay rehab tomorrow. As we were leaving DL @ 11pm, there were still people lining up to get a photo with the Mickey pumpkin. It really is cute at night, lit up. I've only seen/noticed it in the daytime. Also to note, the GCH gift shop has Christmas stuff out on display...

Thanks for all the pics everyone! Three more sleeps until we fly to Vegas and eight more until the Halloween party at DL. Can't waittttttttttttttt!!!

We leave for Vegas after just one more sleep! Any chance we'll see you at the PBR Finals? I'm sure we're the only family combining that event with Halloweentime.
