I bought park tix tonight, so it's official! Very quick trip Oct. 26 & 27, staying at Candy Cane Inn, doing DL both days. No OBB for us this year but happy to get 48 hrs of Disney magic in our favorite place.

I have never been to Disneyland during the Halloween season, so excited to see that big pumpkin on Main Street. I am curious if anyone knows if they still have those Keys from the 70th in any of the stores

They are widely available throughout Disneyland and DTD. They even have $250 collectable versions available in Disneyana (DL) and World of Disney (DTD).

Looks like RSR opened a day early.

My trip is October 28 to November 5.
This will be my third visit. The first was in August 1973 and the second in January 2010.

I'm still processing my trip. but it was pretty amazing! I was there on Sat, 10/11 when lightning lane sold out before park opening so we had to do a quick pivot on strategy. DCA was absolutely packed that day, but we still had a great time between summit/conference events.

We're back from our October trip to Disneyland! We did the OOB on Sunday 10/19. We had 3 Enchant Magic Keys/ and 1 Park Hopper access for our park days. We opened with Disneyland on Monday, DCA on Tuesday, and Disneyland on Wednesday, but we were done for the day by 10:45, so we could get on the road.

The Oogie Boogie Bash was great, it was the 3rd time 3 of us have attended, and we also did 1 Disneyland Halloween Party previously. We did Hades, Judge Doom, Ernesto, Oogie Boogie, and Agatha's treat trails. We watched the 1st parade and did Villain's Grove. We rode RSR during the party, with about a 30-minute wait. We rode Guardian's/Monster's after Dark with about a 15-minute wait. And we also rode TSMM and Monster's Inc during the party, with minimal wait. We weren't able to get to the party until right before 6, so we didn't attend during the mix-in. We got a lot of candy, but I am disappointed we didn't get that much chocolate! Lots of Skittles & Starburst. I never saw the fig bars I've seen other people talk about. We got a photo with Mickey & Donald for the Kindom Hearts greet, and with Cheshire Cat. It was a really fun night! I love the parade and the party vibes.

We had a great time at the parks on both Monday & Tuesday. The evenings/nights were PACKED though! Very busy with guests posting up for the parade 90 minutes prior to it's start time.

Also, we never got to ride Incredicoaster. This is the 2nd time it's been down every time we are in DCA! When we were visiting in August, we were next in line to get on when it went down, and it never came back up. During this trip it was just not operating every time we were in DCA. Well, there's always hope for our December trip

Also SUPER BUMMED the pumpkin cookies were discontinued! That was our number 1 fall treat to try!! We also had the Celestial Churro at Terran Treats. I had the Pumpkin Pie Churro at Cozy Cones (So good, I didn't share it!), I had Darth By Chocolate, which I have always wanted, but since it's a special item/seasonal, I have never been able to get it. And I was also happy we finally got to try Pumpkin Beignets! That's another seasonal treat we always seem to miss. (We don't usually go in the fall). My family also got the Bulgogi Toasted Sandwich from Jolly Holiday, and they all loved it! I'm a vegetarian, so I stuck to my old standby - The Jolly Holiday Combo.

It was a fun trip! I hope you all had fun for your October trips!
