Hi folks :) Who here is attending the Soiree this year?? Last year I had quite a bad experience which resulted in me complaining to Disney, in return Disney gave us a complimentary stay at the resort which we LOVED!! Our faith is now restored in Disney so we will be hitting the Soiree this year again :)
oh no!!! sorry you had a bad time!! im glad it didn't put you off haha
we are doing summer this year :) love Halloween, but have taken the plunge and doing Halloween in Florida next year instead :)
Awesome!! We are looking at halloween next year in Florida too :)
We missed it last year as we'd just got back from Florida and I missed it soooo much. We are definitely doing it this year I can't wait! So excited ;D

superb!! are you dressing up :)
It's about 99% sure that we will attend tthe soiree again this year. But we are not sure what to wear.
Last year we wore disney costumes and it was really chaotic and stressful because of the "no pictures rule".
We'll see...

We are indeed, it's tradition :) we've all been spooky pirates, last year mam was queen of hearts (Tim Burton's version), little bro was a harlequin (so cute) I was little red riding hood and my fiance was the wolf (including stick on fur on the face ;D ) this year Mam is Sally and little bro is Jack, and i think I'm going to be Harly Quinn and fiance going to be the Joker. Just need to agree on versions!
Are you being Captain Jack again :D

WOW those costumes sound fantastic! would love a pic with you guys!
Oh hell yeah Im going as Jack again :D going on the POTC ride dressed up was a child hood dream come true. I think because I was walking with my wife and kids folk knew I wasnt a worker but I had a few folk wanting pics with me instead of the Jack there and I had to tell them NO hahaha
You definitely have the look of Captain Jack so I don't blame you for making the most of it! It is quite a shame that you're not allowed to take pics with other guests. Could you not take pics even if you explain you aren't the "real deal"?
Yes, a lot of people asked for picrures. I guess because we were dressed as a group (aurora and two of her fairies).
Some people were really pissed of when we told them that we weren't allowed to take pictures with them.
We still want disney related costumes this year but perhaps with a personal touch. But we haven't decided yet. Unfortunately i didn' t see you in your jack costume last year. Maybe i have more luck this year.

funny you saying that, when i went to get a pic with my wife some castmember was like "no pictures with guests" i said "excuse me its my bloody wife you tit!!" and he walked away lol
We just booked our halloween trip ;D Can't wait!
I really want to!! We went last year and never dressed up and instantly regretted it, as we didn't realise how people really do go all out!!
also... what date is the soiree on this year? I know might be a bit of a stupid question considering Halloween is 31st, but that is a monday this year, do they do it on a weekend or is it always on Halloween itself?
The party is always on halloween so it will be on monday.

Atm there is a debate on grown ups dressing up due to the carry on that happened in Paris, but I've got written stuff from Disney saying it shouldn't be a problem! It was great fun dressing up last year!! I wouldn't go if I couldn't dress up hahahaha
I was going to book for Halloween week, but after hearing that the Halloween evening party was a bit chaotic and packed last year and that its French school holidays plus Bastille day bank holiday on the 1st so i've decided to go earlier, still get the Halloween feel but not the crowds. I am a bit disappointed but this will be our only holiday this year so want it to be great for all

I was there last year and it was mental!! Mainly due to it being a Saturday night and an over sell of tickets. So many people complained to DIsney about it and they have really limited the tickets for this year. I dont think halloween night will be as busy due to it being on a Monday night but who knows :)
ye are looking at going the 30th oct -4th nov. does anyone knw when the halloween party tockets will be out for sale ? thanks

We ordered ours already with the travel agent, you should be able to book them too :)
I think last year they were available on the disneyland website in june.
We are going to the Halloween party for the first time this year. Really looking forward to it. Lets hope its not as crazy as last years sounded, or as busy. haha just need to think of costumes now. :D
I have also just discovered the amazing looking Terrorific Night Party and then found out its been discontinued for years. :( Gutted. Is there nothing like that now at all then?
A couple of people who i know who work in Disney were saying they are selling limited ticket sales this year due to security and it shouldnt be as busy due to being on a Monday night! Only thing is the french kids are off from school I think! I cant wait to go again! Ive just upgraded my outfit to be like jack sparrows for the new film next year!! and cant wait to show their jack sparrow it hahahahaha
We are going for Halloween :) This is our first time visiting at this time of year so any tips would be much appreciated thanks. We have our tickets for the Soiree. My son is 7 and he is very into scary so it's the perfect time of year to bring him but my worry is that what he wants to dress up as will be too scary for other kids. Do people do scary? Because if I don't let him wear what he wants and he sees others in scary costumes he won't be very happy. He wants to dress up as the Jester clown.
Hi there :)
yeah people do scary costumes but this year they are tighter with the costume rules. As long as your wee one is under 12 he can wear a mask :)
He should do scary! My boy is dressing as deadpool hahaha
Hi Captain Kenny Sparrow :) Thank you so much for your reply. That's great to know he will be delighted :D and probably even more excited now knowing there'll be lots of scary costumes. Yeah my fella loves deadpool too. We will keep a look out for one :) :) :)

just remember not to make the costume not TOO scary otherwise they'll ask you to leave the outfit, they are being stricter this year! If you see a captain jack walking about with a deadpool, a little maleficent girl and a female pirate thats me! :)
This is the suit he wants do u think it would be ok? We will definitely look out for ye. I haven't decided what to dress up as yet but I'll have one gingerbread man and one Jester hopefully :) :) :)

That is a brilliant outfit! If you have any cast members asking you to remove how mask just tell the worker is age and remind them that kids under 12 can wear masks!!!
I'm going the 30th Oct to the 2nd Nov!! Can't wait ;D
