Hi All,
I must have missed it, but just wondering what time we would have to be out of the park on a Halloween party night- possibly thinking about going from the 18th-25th (5 day hoppers, 18th and 25th being travel days) just trying to figure out how much time we would miss in the parks for the days that there would be parties as we would prob only get tickets to 1 day. Thank you

I feel like today would be a great day for Disney to release the dates.... Last day of June and all... Come on Disney!

I was told on the phone this morning (as I booked our room for late October) that the dates are *typically* released in August.

Anyway, folks, as we eagerly await the likely announcement of Halloween Time and Mickey's Halloween Party info in the next few days , I also wanted to announce (as I just did on Facebook) that Pumpkin Pandemonium has officially begun!!!!!

I know that Halloween and Fall items were already in the craft stores a couple of months ago -- I don't even really count those, as craft stores have to put supplies out early for crafters to get an early start on their projects.

So, craft stores aside, Pumpkin Pandemonium/Candy Corn Chaos/Caramel Apple Confusion really begins (in July) when the Halloween items sloooowly start appearing on non-craft store shelves.

This year, Walgreens apparently decided to lead the way down the Pumpkin path, as on June 30th they put this out. Behold, Muskefears bars....

I admit, I didn't search too much, but as well all know, the thread is huge. So if anyone knows, please let me know.

Are they still doing Halloweentime tours? If so, have they typically started when Halloweentime officially kicked off? We'll be there for Dapper Days and I know it will likely be Halloweentime officially, but there won't be any parties until later in the month. It would be fun to do something Halloween related, so I figured the tour would be perfect.

No need to worry about searching for something within the thread if you don't have time. Just remember, page 1 of this thread is always a source of info (the tour section is in the Disneyland post, under Main Street/Happiest Haunts - http://www.disboards.com/threads/ha...ut-halloween-time-2015.3270919/#post-51326923). Otherwise, just do as you did and jump on in! Either way, we're here to help!

Yes, the Happiest Haunts tour took place last year, and I think it started right when Halloween Time began, or shortly thereafter -- however, it no longer took visitors into DCA too. It focused only on Disneyland -- which really makes the most sense, as Disneyland is where the bulk of the Halloween décor and celebration can be found. They also discontinued the combo package of the tour and Halloween Party, if I recall correctly (someone please correct me if I am wrong on that!).

This year I would have to assume there will still be a tour and that it will still focus on Disneyland, but I don't know if the 60th anniversary celebrations will have any kind of impact on it.

For all we know, the Halloween parties may begin earlier than when they usually begin -- IF the rumor that MiceAge posted last year is true (about adding in 2 extra weeks of parties in September). So you may end up being in luck and have a party to attend as well, but we should find that out any day

That's not true at all, let alone typical! The party starts in September, and people have to buy tickets. They don't let people know in August. If the party were starting in October they might release the dates in August.

This is another case of the CMs on the phones not knowing what is actually happening. Always be very skeptical of anything the phone CMs tell you, as they are usually the very last ones -- literally, the very last -- to learn info. Often times we (the visitors) will know things before they know.
