I actually was going to buy mine online but then noticed the were resort specific so, that idea was out as I also wanted mine to say DL. What we usually do is buy another tote that isn't Halloween if they are out of the Halloween ones. They sell them in the Emporium and other stores.Bummer. I should have had someone pick up a couple extras and ship them to me. Guess I either buy a Disneyworld one or find something else for them.
I went to 2 parties this year. I saw Malificent at one of them. I didn't see her the second time I went, but I wasn't specifically looking for her. I sit in the front courtyard after the fireworks to wait for the second parade. The villains roam around there and there are a couple that have lines for a meet and greet. So, I just see whoever is in that area. I don't know if they are anywhere else in the park.
As the PP said, the trick-or-treat lines stay open until the end of the party, but they do close right at the end of the party (11:00 pm or midnight). However, if they run out of candy, they may reduce the number of stations rather than open a new box of candy at the very end of the party. For one of the parties I went to, the Pixie Hollow Trail was down to one treat station at about 10 minutes to the end of the party. So while the trails do remain open until the end, there might be some reduction in the number of stations or variety of candy offered.
I saw the same villains (for the most part) at both parties I went to: Queen of Hearts, Cruella, Dr. Facilier, the Evil Queen, and Malificent. On both nights, she was meeting guests at the formal M&G location at the end of the party. She was also roaming around Villains Square during the party on 9/25, but I didn't notice her roaming on the 9/22 party (but I wasn't looking for her).
It's good to see that they go in another shipment of the Oogie Boogie buckets...I wonder how long these will last...will they make it to Halloween? Regardless, I would get one as soon as you see it if you want it. They were continually bringing them out (in boxes) when I was there at the end of September and it looked like they had a lot, but they still sold out (on a daily basis).
They provide a bag, but it's on the small side if you plan on doing more than a couple of trails. I suggest you either bring your own, or use the one they provide but periodically dump it into a spare bag. I don't have experience with the peanut issue, but I would suggest you talk to guest services and see what they offer. In the past I've heard of people being able to exchange their candy for a nut-free bag at the end of the night, or being given a gift card to purchase safe treats in the shops. However, I don't think any of the accounts I read were recent, and some of them might have been referring to WDW, so I wouldn't assume that either of those options are currently available without asking.Stupid question but we plan to hit the oct.27th Friday party for the first time
Do we need to bring our own bags for the trick or treating? Do they still do the peanut free version as well? Our 12yr old is anaphylactic to nuts.
When we're discussing there being no more totes we're referring to the below tote that is for sale. The small bag they give you is too small for trick or treating the entire evening.
Thanks, its been 3 years since we've gone as a family
