Plaza Inn's fried chicken and the Monte Cristo at Café Orleans were the standouts for me! Both definitely live up to the hype. Just thinking about them is making me hungry...

I LOVE Pokémon (I was in Santa Monica when the February Pokémon Go (G2) update arrived and that was wild!) so this anecdote really made my day! I bet you made Squirtle and Charmander's, too. Sounds like you had a really wonderful experience and it's nice to know that there's a lot of diversity...

That sounds adorable!

Do a lot of people dress as non-Disney characters? I've never really been to a Halloween-anything before so I'm just curious what to expect and what to plan for myself.

Booked for the 20th of October! Hoping it doesn't sell out before my friends can book or I'll be flying solo!

Going to have to wait a bit before we book due to finances and different schedules. So excited for everyone who has tickets so far!

Okay, have definitely decided on going to a party with friends in October. I'll be in LA 14-22 so the 17th or 20th. Crazy expensive but I know it will be worth it. Now... what to wear? :rotfl:

I'm in the US from the 14th to the 22nd, so I can only do the 17th or the 20th of October. Can anyone tell me how quickly these dates are likely to sell out? Making arrangements with people who live in Cali and can live a little more on the fly!

This will be my first Halloween anything (not a big celebration in Australia, sadly), I am fretting about what to wear and it's still months away...

Not sure of dates yet. Going to be in Cali from the 14th to the 22nd and intend to squeeze in a Disney day. It'll be my first ever Halloween celebration if I get to go to a party, we've never celebrated in my family!

Thank you Jaina! I hope to finish this TR, it's just been a crazy few weeks with my grandmother unfortunately passing away. 12-15 rides is amazing! Now I've seen the park and know where everything is I think my strategy will be much better.

We loooved the fried chicken at the Plaza Inn most of all. Café Orleans was also great, the Monte Cristo sandwich is surprisingly light.

I don't have dates for Disney but I'll be in the LA area from October 14th to 22nd and intend to at the very least attend a Mickey's Halloween Party. I'm also considering buying a day ticket for whichever park doesn't have the party for opening until we're allowed into the party park. Would like...

Thanks for this info. Tentatively planning a trip in October and this is really helpful.

We did three nights/two days at Disney and DCA. Not enough! I wish we'd had a more relaxed day in between because doing all day both days was exhausting. I think four days sounds great – you'd regret doing less but not doing more.

I've only been once but Soarin' and Haunted Mansion were the absolute standouts to me. I'm sad PotC was closed while I was there!

How many family are you travelling with? You might find it more cost effective if there are a few of you to stay with an Airbnb in New York. You're all going to have a blast! My friend's daughter did the trip with her dance group and had the most amazing time. I wish I'd been into dancing when...

How long will you be travelling? Hawaii sounds like a good idea to break up the trip, especially for a Disney fix, but as you mentioned re: DLR it will be very busy wherever you go that time of year. The weather might be milder, though? As an aside, you might want to try and avoid Australian...

More exploring throughout DCA brought me to this statue. It made me cry. There's so much history in this place, it's amazing. We then made our way closer to Soarin' because it was almost time for our fastpasses to be used! I was a little nervous for this one after my experience on Space...

We started our second day (Monday) in DCA and I loved seeing it in the morning light! We got a glimpse of the Red Car Trolley Newsboys and – can you believe it?!– our first glance of Mickey since we'd arrived! We grabbed some fastpasses for Soarin' and then started to explore. Our first...
