HalloweenTime at DLR Superthread #4

[JoRo]

Another question - there are a lot of page. so hope its not a duplicate...

WDW MNSSHP - has Pins they pull out for just the halloween party - should I assume this is true for DL? So that any of the "special" halloween stores on the map should have them?

Any other just the the party merchandise..are there any other popcorn buckets just for the party? I have seen ghost mickey, zero, skeletons, but those appear to be out for the whole day.

Thanks again! Getting excited 21 days to the party...18 to our arrival.

I'm pretty sure I saw Wendy with Peter Pan. I only walked by once, so I don't know who else was out there in alternate sets.

The standard set is three villains at a time at MHP. The first set was Facilier, Maleficent, and Cruella (I also saw Cruella out during non-party hours). Lady Tremaine and the stepsisters wandered around Town Square for a bit at the start of the party, but I think they left fairly soon thereafter. Later in the evening, I saw the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Hades in a set. The next set was the Queen of Hearts, Frollo, and the Termaines.

When you say "Shadow Man", do you mean Jack Skellington? He was out both during the party and during normal park hours in New Orleans Square. He was frequently meeting guests with Sally, though not always.

The Shadow Man is Dr. Facilier. Thanks for the detailed info on the town square sets...looks like that's where we'll spend a chunk of time...hopefully the lines aren't too terrible! Looks like we need 6 meets, and we'll get 8 new villains (3 Tremaines) to add to my niece's current 5! So excited!




Does anyone know what time Conjure and Villain closes on party nights?

They do have pins for MHP, but they may not have arrived yet. I was looking for them on Friday (the first party) and after speaking with several CMS in several different stores and Guest Services, it turned out that pins had not yet arrived and they were not expecting them until early to mid-October.

Any other just the the party merchandise..are there any other popcorn buckets just for the party? I have seen ghost mickey, zero, skeletons, but those appear to be out for the whole day.

The only other party merchandise are the shirts (t-shirts and a zip up sweatshirt). Those are available at several locations (including the Emporium, Disney Showcase, Star Traders, the big shop in Frontierland, Port Royal, etc.). The locations are marked on the map with the shopping bag icon.

The line looked pretty lengthy throughout the night. You might ask the CMs at the line how often the sets change so you can try to time your visits.

Does anyone know what time Conjure and Villain closes on party nights?

The Halloween Carnival runs until 5:30 pm on nights when the party starts at 7:00 pm and until 4:30 pm on nights when the party starts at 6:00 pm (assuming the schedule for this week holds for future weeks). I would guess the latest you could get into line for Conjure a Villain is 4:30/5:30 pm.

I have tons of photos from the trip, but because there has been some interest in the snacks, here are a few of the ones I saw last week! The Sally Coffin Cake:

The Bat Cake Pop (so cute!) and the Mummy Cake Pop:

The Pumpkin Marshmallow Wand:

The Pumpkin Mickey Crisped Rice Treat:

And a (new?) Sally Cake Pop:

I cannot do the multi quote from my phone but thank you to all who responded to my questions about Photopass and the Storm "Troppers"

 

[DznyDiva13]

Love the treat pics! Hoping that the CHOC walk day is not as horrible as I am picturing. Either way I am excited! Only 9 days left!

 

[CassieF]

Thank you, thank you. I'll report back with which ones we end up seeing! It's nice to have a backup night so we aren't so stressed!

The Monday, October 20, 2014 party is now showing as sold out online. That means there are only four parties (not including tonight's) left with tickets available online!

I also noticed that you can no longer purchase tickets for tonight's party online. I do not know if that means they sold out or if they suspend online sales on the day of the party.

Does anyone have a Picture of the zip up jacket they are selling at the parties?

The Storm Troopers are the best! At the 24 hour event in May, they literally ditched their line of people for photos and sought me out and it was the best character interaction I've ever had! (I was dressed as a bad guy from TRON-the orange guy) and they totally had a pretend disc fight with me and spent tons of time playing around. It was AWESOME! I told my DH those CM must have a blast being a Storm Trooper!

Photo isn't the best, but here ya go!

I don't have a photo handy, but it's bright blue, hooded, and made of sweatshirt material. It has a small logo on the front and the large logo on the back. You can see the logo in this Parks Blog Post:

I can't believe we leave tomorrow! I just got back from Toronto (business) so I haven't even packed yet..sigh.

Quick question since I am running out of time...do they sell adult costumes at the Disney store in DD?

They sell costume t-shirts (like this one), but no full costumes for adults.

Hey everyone! Long time lurker here and my first post! I've been following these boards and especially this thread for awhile and I've finally decided to take the plunge and sign up! My boyfriend and I are huge, longtime fans of Disney and we'll be making a trip together sometime next month. I'm super excited since he also bought tickets for one of the trick-or-treat parties which I've never been to before.

This is a pretty special trip for us and I think we'll be there around 3 days, so I REALLY want to try to add in things that are a little more unique. Problem is, we go so often I'm having difficulty thinking of things to do, even with the help of this thread, and I would love some further suggestions. Here's what I have so far:

*Take a ride on Lilly Belle if possible
*Sally's Coffin Cake (actually my boyfriend is pretty adamant about trying ALL the snacks, but of course we're on a budget and I want to choose the best ones...I only like this one because of it's name, I don't even know what type of cake it is or where to find it)
*Anna and Elsa's Boutique in Downtown
*Visit with more characters, particularly Stitch since I love him and would really like a photo with him
*Teacups at night (for some reason we only seem to go during the day, I think with the lights it would be beautiful at night)

Sadly, that's all I got! We can't really afford to splurge on the really expensive things like character meals and whatnot, but I would love any further suggestions, including downtown. Thank you guys, sorry for the question right away, but I figure you guys know best and I'll continue my research!

Sally's Coffin Cake (actually my boyfriend is pretty adamant about trying ALL the snacks, but of course we're on a budget and I want to choose the best ones...I only like this one because of it's name, I don't even know what type of cake it is or where to find it)

The Sally Coffin Cake is only available at the French Market in New Orleans Square. It was very rich and very good. It is described as a "Chocolate Sandwich Cookie Mousse" cake.

Visit with more characters, particularly Stitch since I love him and would really like a photo with him

Stitch isn't really a common character at DLR. I've read that he's one of the regular characters at the Disney Visa meet and greet in DCA. He might also be at one of the character breakfasts (Surf's Up?), but you mentioned not wanting to do character meals. I haven't seen him wandering around the parks otherwise.

Have a great trip!

One thing I wanted to mentioned - while you can go to the Elsa & Anna Boutique, the makeovers are only for those ages 3-12.

The teacups are so much fun at night!

 

[Twinkling]

Wow, such swift replies! I'm really relieved the coffin cake isn't actually a coffee cake as I had somewhat expected, it sounds divine! But that's such a shame about Stitch I loved seeing him during the magical map show a few months ago, and I remember my cousin seeing him last month with her son...but now that I think about it she was at a restaurant so perhaps it was one of the character meals and I hadn't realized it. Darnit.

I really hope the boutique is still beautiful, even if us older guests can't partake in the make-overs. I know I probably sound childish, but I just KNOW Disney would have a huge customer base if they offered make-overs for adults too!

Thanks guys!

 

[GPmice]

I wouldn't want a whole makeover, personally. However, I did see a friend post photos of her SUPER cute Minnie Mouse manicure last week and now I MUST do this before my trip!
