Trader Sams Halloween in DisneyWorld?

[AsherBear]

Just wondering if the hitchhiking ghost tiki mug was sold at WDW or was it at Disneyland only? Does the WDW location have any Halloween items...tshirts, mugs, etc? TIA

According to a comment reply on the Disney Parks Blog, the hitchhiking ghost mug IS expected to be sold in limited quantities at WDW. But, nobody knows when. I would guess closer to Halloween. From photos taken at yesterday's first Trader Sam's luncheon for the Food and Wine Festival, they do actually have at least some of the mugs, because one of the included drinks was served in them. Guests were not allowed to keep them or purchase them, though.

Note that in Disneyland they had lines of several hours to purchase these mugs, and they sold out the first day, so anybody who wants one will likely have to arrange to spend a chunk of time over there.

I was actually at the Grog Grotto on October 30 last year, and they did not have any sort of Halloween merchandise, nor did they have a special Halloween event like Disneyland has.

Marlena, do you mean that Disneyland sold out of ALL the mugs the first day, or sold out of that day's worth? We were hoping to get down there and snag one b4 they were all sold out! Of course they didn't have them at WDW when we were there last week.

P.S. Trader Sams luncheon? I'm jealous - wish we could have timed our trip to include more than just the first day of the festival!
