They had Tweedle Dee and Dum there along with the Queen of Hearts and Jafar. They also had all 7 dwarfs and Cinderella's coach. They had Jasmine and Alladin. I know I saw Cruella DeVille in the parade and at the Villians show but not sure if she was out signing autographs. They had 2 dance clubs for kids. Donald and Daisy were doing one of them and the kids were having lots of fun and Stitch and Goofy was at the other one. My son and I were able to just walk on rides with no wait. The longest wait we had was for Peter Pan and it was less than 10 minutes long. We were on the Indy Speedway during the fireworks. That was pretty cool to drive and see them. Overall I think it was the funnest time at MK. I will definately do it again if I am there again during this time.

WOW thankyou so much for all that information this is our first time we have been to disneyland whilst trick or treat has been on . we bought tickets not really knowing too much about it!

We are locals, San Diego actually, and belong to the DVC as well. We usually stay 'off property' as it is cheaper money wise and we don't need to use any DVC points. We will be checking in early on the morning of the 15th, around 8am (hope a room is ready but doubt it) and then going over to DL to eat at the Carnation Cafe for breakfast (our usual habit). We having my 'birthday dinner' at Storytellers Cafe in the DCG hotel at 6pm on the 16th and then going to the MTOT affair at the DCA after that. We have stayed at the Paradise Pier as well as the DLH and DGC and love the all. Well the DGC mostly. You are going to have to take a 'tour' through the lobby there and see the splender of it all, bring a camera. lol

oh you lucky things i have visited san diego twice and loved it. it must be wonderfull being so close to disneyland wow i would love it. we usuall stay in a good neighbor hotel because of cost but this time my sister and i wanted to stay in disneyland hotel before the remodel. i hope we are not dissapointed. i dont think so! it does get a lot of bad reviews, mainly about it being outdated. but thats what my sister and i like about it, its originality as we both love old things,and are really looking forward to looking at all the memrobilia (sorry about the spelling) . our plane lands about 430pm on the 16th so we wont have a problem with our room i hope! what is carnation cafe like? kerri

Carnation Cafe is a nice small out door restaurant located about midway down Main Street. The prices are good and the food is also good. It is also fun to watch the other guests go about their way up and down Main Street while you enjoy your meal. We eat breakfast there a lot of the time and have become friendly with one of the CM waiters there, BOB. Hope you enjoy tour stay and BTW, we have stayed at the Disneyland Hotel and just loved it each time, in fact we will be staying there for New Years Eve this year.

Hey Kerri Borg... just a word of warning that some of the advice here is based upon the party at WDW not DCA/DLR. In Florida, Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party (MNSSHP) is held at the Magic Kingdom whereas the Mickey's Trick or Treat Party (TOT) in SoCal has the party at DCA. So anyone talking about riding Peter Pan is at the WDW party. Somethings are the same - some not. Just don't want you to get your hopes up about something that doesn't happen at DCA.

Unfortunately, I can't offer any advice as I will be attending my first TOT party this October 9th. I can't wait!

Report back when you can and tell all of us what DCA's MTOT party was like. Where is the 'hot spots' to get the best treats, you know, things like that. LOL

Will do! Sorry that I am just missing all of the Dream Tour Passporter activities the following week.

We had a great time. Did some trick or treating and rode lots of attractions. It was not crowded. Most everything was a walk on to 5 minute wait. I don't know if the 5000 tickets were sold out for this night or not. We rode TSMM, ToT, Cal. Screaming several times. Also rode Soaring and some of the lesser rides on the pier. There were lots of Character Greets and there were lines for these. The longest I saw was for Mickey /Minnie together in their Halloween outfits. Did not see alot of villians as I had been hoping to see. Lots of younger kids at the Dance parties. Candy was OK -not enough chocolate in my opinion. There were also some healthier options - the apple slices were a nice choice. Now DL was crazy the same night. Everyone was kicked out of DCA at 6:30 and they ended up closing DL to new entries around 9:00 pm. So if you are heading to DL/DCA and not going to a TOT party- expect crowds at DL!

Just got back will do a trip report here later today....but I wanted to post about the Trick or Treat and give some advice.
It was a crowded night when we went, but if we were to do it again:

1. Hit the rides first, everybody wants to trick or treat first thing (see below).
2. Trick or Treat later in the night the treat stations lines are empty!
3. There is a large station to top your bag off before you leave the park that night!!! So even if you have no candy (from doing the rides) you can get your bag full then.
4. Make sure to catch the parade its fun.
