That's great! I wonder how much they will cost this year?

The closer to Halloween the party date is, the higher the prices get too.

I will probably not go this year, as I was so disappointed last year. The reason I had enjoyed it so much in the past was the park wasn't crowded. I don't care much for the candy, I do enjoy seeing the characters, but I really love being able to go on the rides without long lines. Haunted Mansion Holiday, Space Mountain with the ghosts - totally awesome! But not when I've spent a good chunk of change and the lines are just as long as if I were at a regular day at the Park. Not worth the extra money to me, after last year.

Exactly. Two years ago, it was wonderful and spooky. Last year was way overcrowded.

I'm not too sure it really matters. I'm guessing they allow the same number of people in for every date and all the tickets usually do sell out.

I'll be there early October. I'm hoping maybe that the early dates won't sell out and might be less crowded. I've never heard anywhere anyone mention even an estimate of how many tickets they sell though.

I'd be curious to know.

Only select restaurants are open during the party, right? And is it three oclock, that they start letting party ticket people into the park?

The Disneyland website now has all the dates and prices.

Up through October 14th its 63.00 or 56.00 for pass holders. Through the 27th Friday's are 70.00 for everyone and other days continue at 63.00 or 56.00. Wednesday the 29th is 70 and the 31st is 77.00. It's probably a moot point but tickets at the door are 70.00 for everyone any day except the 31st which is 77.00.

I'm going to go the 20th or 22nd to save the 14.00 over the 24th.

I'm sure you might be able to find a way that wont be too expensive.

I looked over at my husband's costume who I thought up and died laughing. He was Jack Skellington and we put on a bald cap and painted it white! Probably the funniest costume ever.
