Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort!

Halloween time is one of my favorite times of the year. I love the weather, decorations, costumes and visiting Disneyland for Halloween has to be at the top of my list! This year Halloween Time at the  Disneyland Resort  is better than ever and the new Mickey’s Halloween Party  is out of this world!

This year Mickey’s Halloween Party has moved from Disney’s California Adventure to Disneyland and it promises to be amazing! The party will be held every Tuesday and Friday nights in October plus Halloween night. The dates are as follows. October 1, 5, 8, 12, 15, 19, 22, 26, 29 and 31

•Tuesday Nights: 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.

•Fridays and Halloween Night: 7:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m.
 

There will be more Trick or Treat Stations than ever before and almost all of the park will be open with the exception of Toontown. Guests will also be able to enjoy the park for three hours before start time and be able to enjoy the party before it  even starts! One additional treat is that the Halloween Fireworks Spectacular will be exclusive to Mickey’s Halloween Party.
 
I had the opportunity to attend a special media preview for Halloween Time at the resort and I can’t rave enough about the decorations, Haunted Mansion Holiday and my absolute favorite, Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy. It is out of this world! I also had the opportunity to visit Big Thunder Ranch Halloween Roundup and let the kiddos join Woody and Jesse as they got their craft on! I could go and on about how much I love the Disneyland Resort during Halloween but don’t take my word for it! Go out and explore the resort, you will love it!

Disney Sunday : Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party at Disney’s California Adventure


We had a blast at Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party at Disney’s California Adventure last Friday night. This annual, special ticketed event happens throughout October on the following nights: 8, 9, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 and 31.

This unique party lets adults and children alike dress up and trick-or-treat inside DCA. The kids loved getting to pick up candy at 25 Treat Stops located throughout the park. There was some terrific candy, including Ghirardelli chocolate! There was also healthy treats like apple slices and Craisins to be had.

My daughter was fond of the princess photo locations, while my son seemed to favor the Disney villains. The kids rocked out at Candy Corn Acres just inside the Sun Plaza, where they were able to dance to all the top 40 hits.

The Pacific Wharf area became Pirate’s Wharf, which featured a photo location, craft area and games. The Hollywood Pictures Backlot also had dancing and characters to meet. All the favorite rides and attractions were also open for the event which ran from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM.

Tickets purchased in advance are $32 most days, while tickets purchased on the event day are $39. For Oct. 30 and 31, all tickets are $42. If you are an annual passholder you can purchase tickets for $26. Special Passholder Discount are available for these Dates: October 8, 15, 21, 22, 28



And don’t forget that now through Dec. 19, 2009, you can save $400 when you book a 4-Day/4-Night Disneyland Resort vacation package, featuring either Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disneyland Hotel or Disney’s Paradise Pier. Each of theses packages includes four-day park hopper tickets and includes one Magic Morning admission per person. Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party tickets must be purchased separately.

Fun for all! (note: this is not our family!)

Disney Sunday- Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party at Disney’s California Adventure




I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. In this week’s Disney Sunday Post – I wanted to write about Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party at Disney’s California Adventure.

This October, Disney’s California Adventure will hold it’s fifth year of Mickey’s Trick or Treat party, a special ticketed event. The park adds additional decoration, special entertainment and trick or treat stations throughout DCA as it closes the park to the general public.

In the Sun Plaza, there is a giant candy corn and a DJ playing music that you can dance to and several other dance party stations. We have had the opportunity to attend almost every year and have had a blast. One of my favorite parts of Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party is that there are several character greet and meet photo locations throughout the park. Our daughter’s dream came true last year as she was able to meet Cinderella, who took her hand, posed with her and walked around a bit of the park with her. Needless to say it made her night and she was thrilled.

Be prepared for a couple of bagfuls of candy. You are given a bag at the entrance of the park and you will easy fill it up. My kids love trick or treating and this was definitely the highlight for them. Of course the fact that the park limits the amount of guests and it is closed down to the general public doesn’t hurt to the appeal. It’s my favorite part of the evening. Here is a tip -if you can, make sure to buy tickets for a weeknight. I’ve gone on both a weekend and a weeknight and we had a better experience on the weeknight. There are less crowds and the party has more of an exclusive feel to it.

This event invariably sells out every single year. Tickets go on sale in the beginning of summer and are usually sold out by the end of September. It is an amazing event for the kiddos. Kiddos and adults are encouraged to wear their Halloween costume to the park. I love it because it allows the kiddos to wear their costume on more than one night. It runs for four hours either from 6:30 to 10:30 or 7:30 to 11:30 PM depending on the night of the week.

If you have never had the opportunity to attend Mickey’s Trick or Treat Party, make this the year. Your kiddos are going to love it!
