Except for the bride. Wish they had not changed her into a homicidal maniac. Anyway, does anyone know if NBC is out?

Originally Posted By Disneydanny i've heard a similar rumor w/ the reason being they wanted to keep it in it's normal form for this year as it's the 40th anniversary of the attraction. if they arn't doing it this year it is most likly because of that
Originally Posted By Mickeysbestfan According to this ad for the Halloween Party, it will be changed over for NBC. Treat yourself and your favorite fiends to not-so-scary merriment during the most spirited season of all! Halloween Time at the Disneyland® Resort materializes all manner of festive attractions, entertainment, food and merchandise for pint-sized pirates and princesses. You can: •Look in awe at the spectacle of the Disneyland® Resort tricked out in truly terrorific décor—including the kooky Candy Corn Acres. •Experience the extra-eerie Twilight Zone Tower of Terror™—ghostily gussied up just for Halloween. •Venture into the revamped Haunted Mansion, courtesy of clever Jack Skellington and his cohorts from "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas." •Giddyup and get yourself to Woody's Halloween Round-up, a boo-tiful corral for kiddies. •Trick-or-treat with cheerily costumed Disney Characters at Mickey's Trick-or-Treat Party (separate ticket required). Check back in fall 2009 for details!
Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife I was surprised when she came home and mentioned it. She was told by a cast member that it would not be changed over. Personally, I am weary of the overlay but it is what it is, I guess. Thanks for your replies. As for why the rumor - perhaps it is because there is number of DL fans who, like me, are over the overlay and have wishful thinking. Just a thought.
Originally Posted By wonderingalice I have to say I agree with you, MMW... We pretty much only visit Disneyland in December anymore, and this year - especially - I'd love for the HM to be THE HM. My dad's coming with us for a couple of days (he hasn't been to Disneyland for years and years) and he simply won't "get" NBC.

Just a thought.<< DLP and WdW both keep the original HM, maybe you should spice things up a bit and hit another Disney theme park. If you like the original HM, you'll love DLP's version, easily the best of them all.
Originally Posted By MerryMouseWife Thanks, WmK99, but with 1 child in college and another about to be in college, a trip to Paris is just on on our horizon in the near or far future. As for WDW, again, would love to, but DL is just 6 hours away by car and WDW is 6 hours away by plane; also not on my horizon. Thanks for the suggestion, though. If anyone here wants to donate to the fund to get MMW and family to DLP, I can e-mail you where to make the donation. : ) hahaha

Originally Posted By Audrey This will be my first trip to Disneyland at Christmas time, and I'm looking forward to finally seeing Nightmare Before Christmas... and It's A Small World, too.
Originally Posted By disneylandfan8 Being a fan of NBC, I can't wait to see the overlay every year. When we went last year for Halloween it was extra special! Tho I've never seen the Jack and Sally characters to get my picture taken with them... maybe this year??
