Well since I just came here looking for the 2018 thread... I'm gonna say no.Is it too early to start a 2018 thread?!?!
Me too!! We already have our room for Columbus Day weekend, just waiting on the tickets to go on sale!!Well since I just came here looking for the 2018 thread... I'm gonna say no.
nope...waiting for tickets to go on sale lol
That’s awesome!!!
Oh, I remember!!Dates? I have to admit I'll be going solo. DS finals are during our usual time. I REFUSE to be the one doing the handstand - remember our deal?
Sadly I don’t think we’ll be getting a Christmas trip in this year....so I’m happy we’ll get to see some of the decorations in early November! When picking dates, the Halloween-Christmas transformation was the selling point for DD!!
We did 2 parties last year - one sold out and one did not. While rides are not a priority for us at parties, we do try to hit a few, and the only ride where there was a noticeable difference on our nights was Haunted Mansion. The line was out to CHH on our sellout, all night, and we never did ride it. But everything else was pretty comparable - with SDMT, PPF and Space Mountain drawing the longest waits (but still only 20-30 minutes, max). Most others are a walk on (or nearly).I have a question for those of you who attended one of the Halloween parties in 2017: how were the wait times for the rides? We skipped the party last year, but have attended in previous years, and always enjoyed the short waits. But I've read reports that the event was "oversold" in 2017, just too crowded. I understand long waits for special characters, but we attend mostly for short ride wait times.
We may be going back to WDW this year, but will skip the party again if the ride wait times have balooned. While we love the parade, we have seen it a few times and are not willing to pay extra for that and some candy.
How wonderful if you could finally get the whole family there together!! Love the Potato Heads idea!!!! Keep us postedTrying to figure out if I'll make a Halloween party this year. DH suggested we celebrate his one year mark at his new job with a trip to Disney! (What? Is he possessed by aliens? Who cares, I'll take it!) The most logical thing is to back a trip up to my Wine & Dine trip. If so we'll be staying at Shades of Green I think. So much cheaper. Really the first time it's been drastically different. Also not sure if the oldest will join us or not. I have a room at Poly on hold for September, but would really rather bookend my W&D trip if we can agree on Shades or find an "on-site" we can agree to. If so, we'd be there on Halloween. I had planned to do Halloween at Disney next year, but we'll see what we decide.
If oldest joins us we're going to do Mr & Mrs. Potato Head and the three LGM. That's what the oldest has wanted to do forever for the Halloween party and I'd love to make it happen for him. (Because of past football schedules for the oldest this will be the family's first party.) If not, we'll have to rethink. Maybe Peter Pan or Star Wars themed.
Definitely not too early! We're doing a 2 week trip to fit in Halloween and the crossover to Christmas which has been my dream for the last few years!!
I wish I was planning another WDW trip, planning for Paris is a pain.
Oooh I'd love to do that.
Ooh Paris that's amazing!!
I'm so excited. We were supposed to do it last year but DBF started a new job and couldn't take enough time off so we had to leave the day after Halloween.
Loooong wait there buddy! I'm waiting too
how were the wait times for the rides?
Most. Some turn into trick or treat trails (like Jungle Cruise). Check out the map on page 1 to see what’s historically been open.Are all the rides open during the party?
