Just an example of disney's attention to detail. The Disneyland marching band is performing, and even the stripes on their uniforms have spiderwebs.

VictoriaAndMatt - Again. hats off to you!
You've been a fantastic 'correspondent' on the scene, reporting back to us with all the scoop on crowds, merchandise, treats, decorations, timely photos, etc. I even showed 2 of my friends (non-DISboard friends) your specific Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise album (they both love NBC) and they flipped out over all the stuff and are now trying to get me to nab them some of those NBC knick-knacks when I go. Either that or they will be calling DelivEars to place an order!!
But, as if you haven't already given us a wonderful rundown of everything you have seen at DLR this week, now you have posted a photo of something that I can honestly say is the very first of its kind that we have seen in this entire thread - and that is the band costume with the spider webs on it!! That is truly an aspect of HalloweenTime that has not been seen in this thread at all, and perhaps not seen by anyone, period!! Good job!!
....Thank you very much Sherry. The best place to take pictures of the Mickey and Minnie Halloween scene is not from the tram (though I am usually prepared for the shot) is to go up to the Daisy level (2nd floor) of the parking structure and walk over (50 ft) to the stair well. If you walk down to the next landing you are only 100ft away and directly above it....
Roger - that's a great tip about where to best capture that tram-path Halloween scene!! Daisy level, walk to stairwell and down to next landing. I think the tram is too tricky a situation for many people to get a good, clear shot of that display. This is why we rarely see photos of it. But I bet a whole lot of folks will be taking your advice and going to the Daisy level of the parking structure now!!
O.K., have officially bought in that we needed to attend and I purchased our Halloween Party tickets this morning and have printed them out. One thing I noticed is that at DCA it was known as the trick or Treat party but now that it is in DL, it is Mickey's Halloween Party.
And while I have been following this thread, I haven't paid the closest attention to anything but the pictures.
Is there anywhere to eat dinner where the characters are in Halloween costumes? To me that just adds to the evening. If there is more than one location, is there one I should choose over the other?
Aha! So you bought the ticket, RweTHEREyet!! Yes, the party has taken on different names over the years. A few years ago it was called "Mickey's Halloween Treat." Then the name changed to Mickey's Trick or Treat Party (which we refer to as MTOTP or TOTP). And now it's Mickey's Halloween Party (MHP). Who knows what it will be next year!!
There is nowhere that I am aware of where you can dine with characters in Halloween costumes throughout the season in general. I have never been to DLR on the actual day of Halloween, however, so I wonder if characters at the character meals dress up in costume on the actual holiday? Of course, characters in Halloween costumes are hanging around Main Street all season long, but I don't think they put on costumes at the character meals unless it's on Halloween.
makes me wish i could play an instrument so i can be in their band so i can wear that outfit
where's_my_prince - be sure to stop at Farmers Market for one of those peanut butter cup cupcakes (and other yummy food) the next time you pass through this area of town!!
Thank you for taking the time to get all of them and post em up!! 
You will have a lot of fun exploring with a f/1.8. It will open a lot of creative doors.
