Reading these posts is making me so envious (in the nicest way of course) lol.

Halloween is, in my opinion, the best season at DLP. The whole park looks great, villains everywhere, Jack & Sally, sweets from Goofy..... it is fantastic!

I'm already starting to think about my next trip - I'm hoping Halloween 2017 (giving next year a miss due to the extensive work taking place). I hope to return to either the Sequoia or maybe one of the new renovated rooms at the Newport. Sadly Halloween 2017 seems an awful long way off at the moment.

Oh well, to everyone going over the Halloween period hope you all love it!

I feel exactly the same way- so jealous :-) my cousin & his girlfriend are going in 2 weeks so ive told them want trip report & pics. I've never been to DLP for Halloween, its the only season we havent, so we've been looking to go in 2017, been seeing what prices are like for Halloween 2016 so can have an idea how expensive it is going to be for the time we want to go.

Halloween is, in my opinion, by far the best season.
Everything about it is just simply perfect.
I'm going next weekend for 9 days.
This will be my 19th Halloween season and 8th Halloween Soirée.
Can't wait to meet the villains again and watch the cavalcade 3 times a day.
Only said that Sally unfortunately isn't out anymore :(

This will be my first one :) my family and I fly out on Halloween! Is there a certain time you can enter the park dressed up before the halloween party starts? Also how do they know who is meant to be staying for the party? do they give you wristbands or anything?

Exciting! I'm sure you'll love it!
Officially you can enter the park in costume from 5pm.
With your Soiree ticket you can get a wristlet for the evening.
They hand out wristlets underneath the Main Street Railroad.
Just follow the signs, which are always up everywhere.
You can get your wristlet from 8am already.
After 7pm they will start checking wristlets.

 Having just arrived back - I must say the theming is fantastic and all the characters had sweets to give out. There were also a lot more characters lurking about than in the Summer. Maybe its due to all the refurbishments but either way it was great.

Phantom Manner will be open on the halloween night :) my family and i only want to ride that and POTC that night as we can leave the rest of the rides to the next day! If you see a jack sparrow walking about with his family say hi as that will be me :)

Just came back from three days DLP to see the Halloween decorations and it looks amazing. Loads of entertainment and characters. Pictures are being uploaded and a trip report is in the making.

Excellent! I was hoping Pirates would be open, too. Keep an eye out for a tall Captain Hook with an Ursula, me hearty.

Most rides will be open during the Soirée.
However please keep in mind that 3-4 hour queues are pretty normal for that evening.
The Soirée really isn't an evening for rides, it's an evening for entertainment and to enjoy the atmosphere.

Brilliant! you need to post a pic so I recognise you :)

As DLRPWonders says, it is a great night to enjoy the atmosphere. Ive told the kids not to be too sad if we dont get on much as we are hitting the magic kingdom the next day. I wouldnt want to que 3 hours for POTC and miss things but part of me really wants to get some pics in the que of it with the pirate scenery haha
