The real fiasco, however, is during the day. One hopes that at least Jack and Sally will be out, but seriously, Disney - that duo could (if them, even!) be it for character appearances? It was widely suspected, and now officially announced, that there will be no Halloween Carnival in BTRJ. So, you get to pay full price for a shortened day in Disneyland Park, see some pumpkins on Main Street buildings, go on 2 rides with overlays, and see how an early performance of Soundsational screws up the crowds that are trying to squeeze some value out of the cost of admission.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros To me, Halloweentime still seems like a pretty recent addition, even though this will be the 10th year they've done it. The first few years, they really didn't do much more than the pumpkin decorations on Main Street, so this seems like a return to that. I'd hope that they might bring back some of the smaller things that have disappeared through the years, like the Pumpkin Festival interactive show on Main Street that disappeared after the first year. It would be great, but I'm not holding my breath

After nine years of using the same pumpkins and bunting on Main Street, it's time for a change. I look forward to seeing what they come up with. Otherwise, the only change to HalloweenTime this year is that the Halloween Festival back at the Ranch is not being offered. Since that area will become the entrance to Star Wars Land, it's time to say goodbye to that seasonal offering.

Originally Posted By TP2000 Oh God. That was horrible. It's almost like a SNL skit making fun of bad theme park entertainment. I remember that Candy Corn Acres setup they had in DCA's unfortunate Sunshine Plaza, but I had no idea the show could get that bad.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros Oh dear. I visited Candy Corn Acres many times, but I never realized that there was a show there. I think I lucked out by missing it completely (though I do recall seeing some area entertainment folks wandering around a few times) I still think it's funny that they chose the farm theme for the decorations, knowing that the Sunshine Plaza wasn't going to last forever. The intent was to shift everything over to the Bountiful Valley Farm area once the transition started, and have that be the focus of DCA's Halloween. As we know, that area was all but eliminated for Carsland, and DCA has hardly had any Halloween festivities since all the construction began ~5 years ago. Kind of ironic, since DCA had more than DL in the early years, including the hard ticket parties and neat additions to the TOT area

The parties seemed a bit more upbeat and fun over at DCA.
