October

Anyone planning a trip for Halloween week this year? I am thinking of doing MNSSHP and Food and Wine festival this year. Would be fun to do a mini-meetup

 

I've always wanted to do Food and Wine...but we're going for Thanksgiving this year. ; Who knows though...
maybe I'll do a solo trip for a few days.

 

i'm toying with maybe a short, down & dirty, 3 day i really like mnsshp, i actually like it maybe more than the christmas party. although the last time i was there for it in 2006, it hit 96 every day, and this was around 10/22, it was 85 degrees at party time, but the parade may be the best the world has, so it's a strong pull

 

I'll be around!

 

MNSSHP is the best hard ticket event at Disney IMHO. I may be staying off property this time and if so will have plenty of extra room, 2 extra queen beds and a sleeper sofa, and would love to split some costs.

 

Hula, how long are you staying for Thanksgiving? ; Myself, I get to fly down the Sunday after (having an early family christmas that weekend).
As for October, last year was nearly unbearable. ; It was 90 degrees with 90% humidity a few days (this being between the 20-30th of Oct.). ; I might consider it on short notice (2-3 weeks ahead of time) and decent temps.

 

I've never seen the Halloween party, so I'll most likely be going this year.

We'll be there from the Wednesday before, til the Monday after. ; Just 5 days this year...but we're doing CA beaches and going to Disneyland for 5 days too, so it's all good.

 

Jay...if these were my old college days, I'd ask to crash on your couch, but I think I'm too old for that nowadays.

I really wish I could go, though. ; I'd love to meet you in person.

 

I totally agree with you. The Halloween party is the best!

I grew up in So. CA, Roger. ; I know what I'm doing. ; In fact, my profile pic was taken on a CA beach. ; I know how it can be...and I know how it can be. ; It's my place.

 

I feel your pain, Roger. ; Funny thing is, my dad would say the same about Hanauma Bay.
There is still beauty there. ; You just have to look a little harder these days. ; It's been awhile since I've been able to sit on a CA beach and think. ; It was the place I always went as a girl, when times were hard and I needed peace. ; I go back..even now, when I feel that way...

Jay, I'm sorry we temporarily hijacked your thread. ; This is just a subject close to my heart. ; Carry on.

I am hoping to do MNSSHP this year- earlier rather than later so I can share a few pictures while they are relevant. ; I have not been in quite a while and seeing all the great pictures last year was killing me.

OT but my 9yo daughter has now deemed the Disney Halloween party "Lame" and wants to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios instead. ;

 

They do need to change things up a bit. ; I have gone the past two years with the same results (but expected that), but was also watching a Lang Video of the Party from more than a few years ago and it seemed to be the same as that as well. ; I think that it is great for kids if all you want to do is stand in line for candy all night (the line in Toon Town for the Candy Trail to Tomorrowland) was wrapped well in front of Goofy's Barnstormer. ; However, it is a cheaper way to spend 8 hours at the park (they start letting guests in around 4pm even thought the party does not start until 7pm) if you are only there for a few days and do not want to use up a day on your tickets.

 

For those of you that do the Halloween party... costume or no costume? I'm costume all the way and I really think that makes the difference in the time you have.
