Our flight landed 1/2 early. We ended up sitting on the plane for 45 minutes because of a plane at our gate. 2. The Super Shuttle Man was very nasty!! 3. We waited in our room for over a hour for our luggage to be delivered. We were told 20 minutes. We checked on it, and the bell lady was very rude. I'm not impressed with some of the CM's at the PPH. 4. My daughter's gift card was double swiped. The CM at Splash said, "I know what I'm doing" when I questioned her. A manager came to the rescue and a quick call to the Gift Card Number...and we had our money back. I THANK the manger and I BOO the CM at the Splash Mountain photo center. 5. I noticed a bunch of kids with autographed character photo's and balloons at the front desk of the PPH. I asked if I could get one for my children. The nasty CM told me to take a picture and find the character in the park to have it autographed. He did give me balloons, but wasn't happy about it!! Isn't that a service they offer??? 6. Remy no longer makes appearances in Disneyland. We woke up Tuesday morning and everything changed. Here's the amazing and magical things that happened to us. 1. My son was picked for the Candy Corn Show 2. My son was picked for the Jedi show 3. We met Remy at the Halloween Trick or Treat in DCA. What a blast! 4. My son rode Maliboomer!!!! (he's 7) 5. We won Dream FastPasses 6. Four hours later we won Dream Mickey Ears! 7. We spent 3 days with good friends and had an amazing time! 8. My son was picked to light the fire at The Brother Bear Show 9. My daughter WON the Golden Scream award. 10. We finally did met a very nice cast member at PPH 11. We were picked out of the crowd to Open Disneyland. We got to sign a red velvet book, were introduced, and began the countdown! 12. We had an amazing time at Goofy's Kitchen. Goofy comunicated with us by writing his thoughts on the table. We had a blast! 13. We had great service and good food at the Blue Bayou. 14. We discovered RedRocket's Pizza Port - Yummy! 15. We had early entry three days!!! 16. We loved Trick or Treating at the resort We had such a magical time, and hope to spend Halloween in Disneyland again next year!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Scar, sounds like you had a pretty crummy start. We were there around the same time and had some pretty grumpy CM's at the Grand. Isn't it weird, especially at the front desk? The rest of your trip sound amazing! Lots of magical moments for you and your family, YAY! Your children must have been so thrilled with their special attention. I liked how you set up your trip report We saw a sign about trick or treating at the resort for DLR guests (not MHT.) I'm curious to know how that was set up.
