Anyone else going to the 40th of Haunted Mansion? - Page 2

Ghoulish Delight · 01-19-2009, 09:24 PM

I'd choose the Shag Cocktail event over this.

I must be jaded. I have almost zero interest in the event or the merchandise. Perhaps I could start getting excited if Disneyland pretended that the merch was secondary to the event...

I have to admit, I would be way more tempted if the event included a walking tour of the mansion (especially ground level in the ballroom) - then I would consider flying over just to do that !!

I suppose that would be cool, although there is a certain amount of the magic you wouldn't want to spoil. The ballroom would have no special effects while you are in it of course, but seeing the other side of the glass where the pepper's ghosts originate would be fun to see.

I have only attended one other merchandise event, the last HMH one. I don't buy the merch really. It's the event I go for. Now the SHAG merch I would like some of..... and some of this evengt looks cool also. But where the heck would I put any of it? Unless my house is gothed out, I'm not gonna just put that cool candle holder on my table....

Never mind.

I tried for an hour and a half to get online, but their servers were having problems. By the time I got online, it was sold out.

That sucks!

I'm absolutely amazed that every level sold out in less than 2 hours. One of my friends called me to see if I had any "ins". I was sorry to let him down...

I'm always amazed at how many people are willing to pay for the privilege of shopping.

But then I remember Costco and the card in my wallet so I shut up.

Add me to the disapointed crew, tried for the hotel package on Tuesday and got shut out, tried for the dearly departed, got shut out, tried for hitchhiker and got on the wait list...but I'm not feeling it.

We come out ahead by shopping at Costco even after accounting for the annual fee. That does include the 2% Executive membership rebate and the variable 1-3% AmEx rebate, so I don't know if we'd still come out ahead without the rebates.
