I'm thinking we may even get a 4th day, not sure yet though. Forgot to add, we are going to be staying at the Castle Inn, I believe.

 

[camidges]

Just had to pop in and say how excited I am that the first day of my trip is now showing up on the official DL calendar! Won't be long before all the entertainment is filled in too! Woo Hoo!~

 

[funatdisney]

Hello metalis4ever and welcome to the October Check in Thread! I have added your dates and lodgings to the first post.

Could you please also add my pre-cruise stay September 26th to October 2nd VGC?

Corinna

A warm welcome to you too, dolphingirl47. I have added your info, too. What a great vacation - A stay in DL and then on to DCL than back to DL!. You should have a great time.

Thanks so much for the info! This morning, I booked our character dining! I'm so excited!!!

You are welcome, Leilanie94. Sherry E on the Halloween Super thread noted something like thirty something more days to the start of Halloween Time (Sept 16). Our vacations are just around the corner!

 

[funatdisney]

Welcome isisisme, disneymom0104, disneydreamer74 and ctp365 to the October Check in Thread!

If any of you are planning on going to any of the Mickey's Halloween Parties, please let me know and I will add you to the Party List thread.

I don't think I replied to this yet. Hubby and I are going Oct. 27th through November 2, 2011 we are staying at the Carousel Inn for the first time.

You are added. You should enjoy your vacation with the fall decor. It is very festive time of the year for DL.

We are taking our first family trip to DL- DH and the kids have never been- we are staying at PPH 10/2-10/7 and we are using a free dining pin. So excited! Planning on the Halloween party 10/3.

I have added your info to the first post. Well then, your first family trip to DL will be awesome. You pick a great time of the year to come.

Add me in again!! Heading to DLR for a big family get together. Staying at Anaheim Plaza Oct. 7-10. Our first time at the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!!

You are added! No better reason to come to DLR than a big family get together. Really any reason is a good reason to go to DLR. What Is the date you are planning on going to Mickey's Halloween Party?

We will be there October 13-16, pre Mexican Riviera Disney cruise.

We will be staying at the Holiday Inn Anaheim

Your info has been added, too. Lots of DIS'ers are going on the same cruise. Sounds like loads of fun.

 

[Redo0418]

My family is flying in Sunday morning, October 23rd and leaving Thursday morning, October 27th. I really wish I had waiting till Friday to leave but it is too late now as it would cost over $500.00 to change our flights.

We are going staying at the Carousel Inn and have tickets for the Halloween party on the 25th.

This is my husband and my son's first trip to Disneyland so we are very excited. I'm only disappointed that Pirates will be closed while we are there.

Welcome TahoeMom, impeyan and Snoopygirl to the October Check in Thread!

Ok, change of plans. We will be celebrating our Honeymoon from 10/27/11-11/04/11 and staying at HOJO.

I have changed the dates and lodging for your Honeymoon trip. Adding a few more days is just awesome.

Please remove me from the front page, unfortunetely we will not be able to go this year.

Sorry hear that DizNee Luver. Nothing more awful than canceling a Disney Vacation. maybe you can come next year?

10/1-10/6 Grand Californian

I have your info to the list. If you haven't stayed at the GCH yet, you will love it. It is one of my favorite hotels. You will have a grand time there.

Made our dining reservations! Only a month and a half until I'm on in my favorite place ...

Making those dining reservations really sets the countdown to a Disney vacation.. It will be here before you know it.

Wahoooo! Thanks for the info. I've been (less than patiently) waiting for the park hours calendar to show the first week in October so we know what's going on that week. I just booked DD's birthday breakfast at Ariel's Grotto followed by the BBB for the 5th!

You are welcome. Your DD will love her breakfast and BBB experience. Sounds like you'll have a great time at DLR.

I will be there from October 12-20 staying at hojo Halloween party on the 17th

Your info is added. There is no MHP for the 17th. Did you mean the 7th?

Oct. 8th--1 night @ DLH then off to DCL for Mexican Riviera Cruise Oct 9-16!!

You will like DLH. they have made lots of changes to the hotel. I especially like the outdoor fireplace for a drink and relaxation time. have fun on your cruise.

I have added you to the first post. You love the GCH and concierge theme park view, too. You will love this vacation.

Hubby and I are going to DLR for the first time, without kids(they are pretty much grown almost 18 & 20) Going to be in Cali ,Oct 19-24 and staying at HOJO with a Disney View!!!! Yea!!!!

You're added. DH and I took a romantic trip to DLR for the 4th of July weekend. You will have a great time discovering the Parks with your kids (even the grown up kind!)

10/16-19 for our first Halloween Party! Just me and my girls, we are super excited!!! Currently booked at the Peacock Suites but have my fingers crossed (but not breath held) for a waitlist to come through in a VGC studio.

You're added, too. I'll put your name on the list for the MHP on the 18th. As a fellow neighbor, I hope your waitlist comes through.

My husband, dad and I are going Oct 3rd to 8th. we're staying at Park Vue and can't wait!!!!!

Melissa

I have your info added to the first post. You picked a good time for a DLR trip. you will love the fall decor and the light crowd numbers, too.

We will be there oct 14 -17. We will be staying at BWPPI. DH and I are going with our neighbors. So there will be a total of 5 of us. Not sure if we will be doing the Mickeys party or not.

I have you added. Let me know if you are going to MHP. I would recommend it. It is fun to go at least once, especially when it is held at DL.

please add me to the list as well! DW, DD, and I are going from October 3rd - October 5th. Very excited, it's been a whole year since we've last gone! LOL. First time that we are going for 3 days.

You are added! Hopefully you will be able to add that 4th day. You can never go wrong adding a day to your Disney vacation.

Your info has been added to the first post. Your DH and DS will have a great time at DLR and the MHP. According the Party list, the 25th has lots of DIS'ers going, me included.

If anyone wishes to check out the MHP Party list here is the link.

 

[funatdisney]

I thought I would repost the dining reservation information again and add a link to the Disneyland Calendar for October. So far, the calendar has posted park hours and schedule til October 13.

The Dining & Restaurants page for Disneyland is here. This page lists the DL restaurants that will take reservations.

For those that are 60 days from your dates, you can call Disney dining reservations at (714) 781-DINE or (714) 781-3463.

Welcome TahoeMom, impeyan and Snoopygirl to the October Check in Thread!

I have your info to the list. If you haven't stayed at the GCH yet, you will love it. It is one of my favorite hotels. You will have a grand time there.

Thanks for adding me to the list! One quick correction when you have a chance - my dates are 10/1-10/6 - you put 10/1-10/1. Not a big deal - I really appreciate your keeping the list!
We actually have been at GCH - we stay there every October and we do love it! Thanks!

 

[funatdisney]

Sorry, Kathie. I have made the date change. There was a lot of catch up that I had to do on this thread. I knew I would put down a wrong date or the wrong hotel.

We stayed at the GCH every October, too. That is until we bought into DVC. Now we stay in a Villa every October. This year is no different.

Thanks! We thought about buying into DVC but by the time the Villas were ready my kids were old enough that it didn't seem as worth it since we don't have too many years with them at home - I wish it had been an option when they were little since we have gone to Disney every year since 1999. Oh well!
Thanks again!

 

[crbrowniegirl]

I know it is a bit early, but I thought I would start the October Check In thread anyway. Please post your travel dates and where you are staying, and I will add your name to the list. Please do not copy and post to be sure that all posted travelers and dates remain accurate and easy to find. (I kindly thank you in advance.)

I'm taking my three boys for their first trip to Disneyland from October 14th through October 19th. I am beyond excited. I haven't been to DL in about 15 years or so. Eeeek!

[sonjaandsue]

I bit the bullet and made a reservation at the Grand Californian without a discount. I have a bit of sticker shock (or maybe buyer's remorse) but I don't think I will regret it in the end! We will be there Oct. 22-29.

 

[funatdisney]

Hello all! I went to the D23 Expo over the weekend and had a blast. I have the pleasure of attending some awesome presentations and buy lots of Disney stuff and, of course, t-shirts. I look forward the next one in 2013. Now onto looking forward to my Halloween Time vacation!

So I have updated the list before it gets too long again!

Welcome to DISboards, Leah!
We love our neighbors from the North here on DISboards.

Another welcome to DISboards to wildboyzmommy!
Your boys will Disneyland and you will be amazed at the changes DL has done in the last 15 years. The fall is a great time to visit, too. If you know your hotel, I can add it to the list.

Welcome sonjaandsue to DISboards!
I personally know you won't regret it. GCH is our favorite hotel and every minute we are there is magic. You will have a wonderful time. Warning: once you go, you won't want to stay anywhere else!
