I know exactly how you feel I have a son who's birthday is in October and doesn't think its his birthday until he's been to DLP and had MNSSHP but without a decent halloween and MNSSHP it will be ruined for him. We went for christmas in 2011 and I can honestly say it was magical the theming was amazing and fantillusion so I think that will be what we do this year too as sad as it is :*(.
