Last year, the reserved viewing was on Main Street from about half way down the Emporium to before the crossing near Carnation Cafe. There was another viewing area directly across Main Street (so probably from about the Main Street Cinema to the crossing in front of the Market House). Normally, the parade (MSEP/PtN) package viewing was down in Town Square, so I was surprised that this was in a better location. They haven't said where the viewing area will be this year.
I'm wondering how likely it would be to move from the reserved parade site to a spot close enough to see the projections on the castle for the fireworks, once the parade is over. How much is lost by staying in location and not seeing the projections on the Castle? Thoughts, anybody?
That is frustrating. You try to plan in advance to get good rates etc. But can never anticipate what the school schedules will be but to guesstimate what the schedule was the prior year. I completely understand this. As we speak in waiting for my DD21's schedule as she started a new program of study this year that we are unfamiliar with so, I fear booking flights for our December trip. I hopefully find out this week.I just found out today that my DD11's weeklong 6th grade science camp is going to run right over into our vacation window. The district didn't let people know we were having a three day weekend until sometime in the spring and I'm sure the school had to make arrangements with the science camp at least a year ago, but it's still frustrating. I'm sure there are other families who have also made vacation plans for the three day weekend.
DD was adamant that she would rather miss her last night and day at science camp than miss any part of the Disneyland weekend, so I will likely be driving from Sacramento to the Santa Cruz area to pick her up and then driving back with her to catch our flight that night. Sigh. It's do-able, just frustrating.
Thank you for letting me vent!
Sucks, but I'm glad her school will let you do that! Some would severely punish a student grade-wise for missing a day of science camp like that.I just found out today that my DD11's weeklong 6th grade science camp is going to run right over into our vacation window.

I just got word that the tours will be at 4 o'clock daily. $85 before AP discount. 15 people can reserve tickets and advance by phone, an additional five tickets will be sold on the day of at the park.I am so excited about the new Halloween merchandise, particularly the Haunted Mansion items. I wish they would release information about the happiest haunts tour. It looks like they will be doing it again this year but I am hoping it is different than last year. I would have thought there would be a little more info/easier to find when we are only a couple of days from being able to book the first tours.

When will they announce the information on Happy Haunts Tours?I just got word that the tours will be at 4 o'clock daily. $85 before AP discount. 15 people can reserve tickets and advance by phone, an additional five tickets will be sold on the day of at the park.
We'll be there having dinner at BB celebrating out 17th Anniversary on 9/30!Because my family collectively decided to have our big trip be over the holidays instead this year...I figured I'd have to kiss the Halloween Party goodbye. Seeing as though this may very well be the last year they even hold it at Disneyland Park, it was a tough pill to swallow...
Yesterday, however, I casually mentioned to my husband that our anniversary falls the day after a party (9/29) and was only half joking that it could be his present to me and he just went "ok, let's just drive down for the night of the party and stay one night". I was in shock because my husband is not a Disney person and I figured with the Christmas trip coming up, he wouldn't want to do it, but he was totally cool with it!
I haven't bit the bullet and bought the tickets yet...since I'm now almost wondering if it'll take anything away from our Christmas trip, which I'm really pulling on the stops out on and want it to be EXTRA special. Of course, it won't take anything away from ME because I could it all day every day, but I worried it'll take something from the kids. I don't know...For now I do have a room booked at the DLH for 9/29 and hoping to purchase tickets for that party in the next day or two. The following day, 9/30, is our 11 year anniversary so I thought it'd be fun to spend the day at the pool and maybe even book a cabana to celebrate.
Anyways...I'm adding myself back into the loop on this thread because I may very well get to experience the party again this year!!! YIPPY!!!
New Member seesclubhousefirst time poster here, I went to disneyland last year during October but failed to obtain Halloween party passes but have since rectified that issue buy purchasing my Premiere Passport for both parks, snagged October 13th this year, but holy smokes didnt anticipate BB booking up right when the block opened this morning, I love doing the dinner packages but do you guys think the BB Halloween dinner package is worth it? I did snag a 3:45 pm lunch reservation any Ideas on if the park might let me wait 15 minutes till dinner starts at 4 pm so I can nab the dinner package lol.
https://disneyland.disney.go.com/dining/disneyland/blue-bayou-restaurant/was their a seperate link for the package dinner or just on the BB page, I did see the details near the bottom of the regular BB page but no special link it just said to book a reservation unlike the electric parade dinner package or the fantasmic dinner package
So excited, just bought our Halloween party tickets for Oct 24th!! Its a girls trip, we are leaving our husbands and kids behind! 3 day park hoppers too!! I think we have decided we are going as Monsters Inc characters.
