We had a fantastic weekend last weekend as I surprised the family with a trip to the Disneyland Hotel via Eurostar to see the DLP Halloween celebrations. Click here for a photo trip report:

Day 1 Morning - travel, arrival at DLP and the fun of the DLH including dancing with the characters.

We had a fab time, though very exhausting. Halloween is my favorite time to go, but DLP was certainly packed.

Thanks very much folks. It seems forever ago now.

Thanks for the pics Dave, its very much appreciated! It seems like you had a great time once again. I'm glad to hear that the park seemed so busy. The hard economic times don't seem to scare that many guests away (yet). Haven't you been to the Studios by the way?

Halloween isn't my cup of tea really, I prefer the more adult Halloween nights in other themeparks. Christmas however has a soft spot with me.

We didn't leave the DLH/DLP complex this trip (no WDSP or Village). I wanted to go to the Studios, but in order to see all the Halloween treats and make use of our DLH fastpasses, there was no time. I heard it was crazy at the Studios though.

Great trip report. Thanks for sharing. Although I'm not a big fan of Halloween, in Austria we don't celebrate Halloween that much than in the UK or in the USA, I really want to go to DLRP during Halloween season.

Before DLP (and other parks copied) started doing Halloween, nothing really happened in the UK either. Which was frustrating to me as an american who moved over here. Thankfully for my kids though, Halloween has really picked up!

Great stuff DWB..........I really must try and get to DLRP for Halloween one day, but with wanting to go for summer, christmas,bonfire night(s), St.Patricks and the Welsh Festival etc etc sems like I need bottomless pockets.
Anyhow, great pics and thanks for sharing.
