Disneyland Update: Party's Over, Here Comes Halloween, DL Hotel signs, and more! - Page 5

Whether it will get better depends on the reaction this time around. Rarely in modern Disney history is the response to an underwhelming response "lets make it better and try again!"

But the current rumor I've heard is that Frontierland is on the slate for next year.

Golden Screams?! lol!
Hysterical.

That's just the point, if it is all a big build-up to nothing, I don't think reaction will be all that good.

What they have is charming, but it's all seems designed to lead-up to something ... that ultimately isn't there.

I mean - NEVER has there been decorations featured along the Tram Route. It's all a tease with almost no substance.

So, the first weekend of HalloweenTime at the Disneyland Resort has passed, and the homepage on www.disneyland.com still does not mention HalloweenTime or any of the related decorations and activities. Why? Perhaps an internal business strategy could be to not create too many high expectations about HalloweenTime before arriving at the Disneyland Resort? Or, is the marketing department suppose to hype the start of "Year of a Million Dreams" (which began Oct. 1) instead? However, Mickey's Halloween Treat at Disney's California Adventure has been mentioned for months, and some dates are already sold out.

Sorry for all the speculating. In the end, my observation is that HalloweenTime 2006 is being used as "filler" in between the end of the 50th and before the start of the busy Christmas/holiday season. But, I'm not complaining--I love all the decorations and temporary "pluses" to both Disneyland and Disney's California Adventure.

I was wondering about the villans that are supposed to have meet & greets after the Screams thingy. Do you have to sit through the show to get to see them, or are they easily (or semi-easily) accesable to the general public?

Various Disney villains gather under the Palace of Fine Arts rotunda throughout the day for meet-n-greets, so you do not have to necessarily see the Golden Screams show. However, I found the show pretty entertaining, and a villain appears during the show, too.

TY. We still have not decided if Mom will get a park hopper. The only real reason we have to cross the Esplanade is that I promised Nickolas that if we didn't have take him to the local fair I would let him play the carny games at DCA. I can't justify the extra cost to her to do that, so I was trying to look at it from another angle.

Bling is off the castle now (a few days later than originally expected).

Great Pictures Zappp! Thanks!

Dunno, we never made it to Golden Screams because there are very few showtimes.

But the new lightning effect on the ToT exterior is great. We sat down in the street for a long time while SuPeR K! got a timed exposure shot, and got lots of weird looks from people. But we had the literal last laugh, because when we got off the attraction some half hour later, there were dozens of people sitting in the street watching for the lightning!
