Halloween Time at DLR

[Tinkerbella]

The DF and I were there yesterday and boy was it packed! We were surprised at how many people pulled their kids out of school. It seemed like a lot of AP holders to me though. Which reminds me... DF and I took the leap and bought APs! I am so stoked! We bought the Deluxe passes. I know everyone says "say no to blackouts" but this pass works better for us. We are fortunate enough to have flexible work schedules (3 12 hour shifts a week) that will allow us blocks of days to sojourn down south!

Congrats on the AP Tinkebella.

You must choose which pass works for you.

Personally I don't want them to be able to tell me I can't get into the park.

Granted on the really busy days, why would I want to be inside anyhow?

A busy day at Disneyland is better than a slow day at ...

We are heading down on October 11th, our first day in the park will be the 12th. Can't wait! It's our first time at Halloween. I do hope it's not too busy. We plan to get there early and stay late each day--and head to CA if it gets crazy. We are APs and are pulling all of our 6 kids out of school. It's our last family trip to DLR before oldest DD turns 18 and goes off to college.

Have a good time!

Make sure to check out Halloween Screams! (My personal favorite)

As well as Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy and Haunted Mansion Holiday.

I was just at Disneyland on October 3rd for my 50th birthday. Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy was fantastic! We had to wait about 45 min in the handicapped line. It was worth the weight. We missed the fireworks and Fantasmic. Next time I go to Disneyland, I will spend 2 days and find an inexpensive hotel near by.

I used the Electric Convenience Vehicle and it was great! It was so much easier to get around, since I am handicapped due to being hit by a car last December. I never had to charge it. My only gripe is that people walk right in front of me and I am afraid I will run them over!

I am so ready to go back!

I liked the description of Space Mountain's Ghost Galaxy that my DS texted to me while he was at Disneyland earlier this week . . .

"That was not scary. That was campy. There should have been three silhouettes in my lower right peripheral cracking jokes the entire ride."

I have to agree, as much as I liked DL and the Halloween Time overlays, Ghost Galaxy was lame. Apparently the seat of young girls behind DW and I didn't think so as my head was still pounding from all the I scream then you scream stuff, but we were not impressed at all. Saves me having to stand in line for it ever again... sweet more time in New Orleans for me!

We are back and sort of had a great time.
DD got the flu while there and was in the hotel room for a few days, so that was a little disappointing.
Ghost Galaxy was ok, but not terribly scary, even our smallest DD wasn't scared in the least. She laughed out loud and even the castmember at the exit commented "she doesn't look scared." I LOVED the fireworks though, saw them twice. We were there for 5 days and got everything done we wanted to eventually, DH thought there were less villains out than what he expected, but we did see a few and the characters looked so interesting in their costumes.
I just couldn't believe how BUSY it was, Friday DL was at capacity. It was great to have the extra hours at night, but I think we prefer early December.
