Any help or thoughts would be appreciated. Especially since Disneyland will have Halloween fireworks this year...Maybe that is enough for me this year. Thanks
Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Just my opinion here. After going to the Treat 4 years in a row (and twice the past 2), we decided after last year's party to skip this year.

I so agree about the walls making the movement more cramped. Now with Oct. approaching and finding that our grandson will be with us of course we are going again. So much for "plans" made a year in advance. We are excited to go this year but IF our grandson wasn't going we wouldn't be either.
Originally Posted By SleepingBeauty82 Honestly, the construction is more of an eyesore then an inconvenience. With the exception of the bridge that leads over to the Pier past the Wharf area the walls do not squish people together. And that area can be avoided if you walk around it. The bummer part is the lagoon is drained but that's really about it. Unless things have changed in the last month or so because that was the last time I was over there. I wouldn't worry about the construction.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 54 this week and DH and I LOVE it We have fun when it's just the 2 of us but tend to just enjoy the atmosphere and catch the rides.

We have brought some of our "kids" with us ages, 24,25,32,33 and 4 year old grandson (at the time) and they all loved it as much as we did and can't wait to go back. I'd say the only "kid centric" thing is the coloring station but nothing says that adults can't join in too
Originally Posted By dlpostcardguy I went the first 4 years they did it and loved it the first 3 years. Last year I felt it was way too crowded. They clearly sold a lot more tickets than in previous years and there were just too many people for the short amount of time given. (We always went on the last Friday before Halloween.) Until they start adding some new things to do I will not be back.
Originally Posted By dizkid We have also decided not to go this year, but not because of the construction. We usually go with another group, but they have taken to splitting off from us about a quarter of the way through. Plus, the candy has really gone down hill and healthy stuff has gone way up. Since I am now 14 I don't go trick or treating now, the candy from Mickey's Trick or Treating is sort of not worth it. Sincerely, The Kid of Diz

But I guess it wasn't worth it to hire any extra help from Morva. This year my sisters and I are staying home on Halloween while we watch our pet spiderman weave a web of love...

Originally Posted By chipndale16 Glad we won't be the only big kids either! DH and I are going this year for the first time and I'm really looking forward to it, even though we don't have kids. Sounds like the atmosphere will be fun, and I'm excited to experience something that's new to me.
