Halloween Time Superthread 2020: Oogie's Back!! And Other Halloween Time Information -- Please Read Post 1! (OBB DATES CANCELLED 7/24/20)

@midnight star were you or anyone else on the board able to register? Please do a write up or give your impressions if you go. I'm still hoping DL/DCA can do something similar.
I didn’t :( they are already sold out. I’m driving back from Las Vegas so I was on the road. My friend tried but she said there was a waitlist and she was 2,000 in line lol
 
Same... I was watching the clock but got distracted. By the time I remembered (about 20 minutes after 10), they were all gone.

My friend got on at 10:00 but the site didn’t load. It loaded at 10:02 and that’s when she was 2,000 in line.
 




From the 65th Anniversary Merchandise thread:
The Funko Pop of The Haunted Mansion and Butler is up on shopDisney right now. I think it's selling fast as it's appearing lower and lower in my search results for "Haunted". That's usually an indication stock is getting low from my observations. I was able to purchase one at 7AM CST.
 
From today's MP DLR Update (9/14/20):
Knott's launches Taste of Fall-o-Ween
While California theme park operators continue to wait for the state to issue guidelines on how and when they can reopen their gates, Knott's Berry Farm has announced a new Halloween version of their "outdoor dining and retail experience" series.
The Taste of Fall-o-Ween event runs Fridays through Sundays, September 25 through November 1, and adds holiday decorations, new entertainment and a trick-or-treat activity for younger guests to the food and shopping lineup.
Admission to this event comes in the form of a Taste of Knott’s Tasting Card, which is now $35 for ages 12 and up (another $5 increase over the Taste of Knott's event). The tasting card provides samples of up to five of the Taste of Fall-o-Ween food and beverage options offered at 28 locations throughout the theme park. Tickets for children 3 to 11 are now $20, and come with three tastings and one trip through the Camp Snoopy Trick-or-Treat Trail. Children 2 and under are free. Tickets are limited each day to control crowd size. Knott's Annual Passholders save 20%.
Again, while the rides remain closed, Knott's says that artisan booths and select Knott’s retail stores will be open to with event merchandise and theme park souvenirs.
While the revenue from this event can't possible scratch that of Knott's signature Knott's Scary Farm bash, which was canceled for 2020 due to COVID-19, this string of events is helping expose Knott's to a crowd of theme park fans who are looking for a way to celebrate the holiday. For many, just walking through a decorated theme park may be worth the price of admission.
 
From the DLR Reopening Superthread (HT: @Nonsuch ):

Organizers of Gay Days Anaheim (which is usually the first full weekend in October) sent out this message:

Hey there, hi there, ho there….

We know that you have all been anxiously awaiting some clarity on both the Disneyland Resort and Gay Days Anaheim. Us too. We had a long meeting with Disney today and we are pleased to say that we finally have some answers.
As many of you know, Disneyland is still awaiting guidelines from Governor Newsom which, as recently as today, he said would be coming “soon.” But Disney knows that it will take them a bit of time to have their cast members back at work and ready to make magic. They were able to say with clarity today that our October dates won’t be possible this year.

We are disappointed too, but wait… there’s more…

WE ARE NOT CANCELLING

Instead we are postponing and expect to be able to announce a new date within the next few days. We can say this much, however—wouldn’t it be fun to experience Gay Days when the parks are decked out for the holidays?

We also want to report that we have just returned from an exploratory mission to Walt Disney World. We wanted to see what their safety protocols looked like and how comfortable we feel about moving ahead this year. We were very pleased to see that the parks really did everything they could do to ensure guest safety. Capacity was severely limited, social distancing was enforced everywhere, masks were mandated (and guests complied), and hand sanitizers practically outnumbered the guests. Assuming that similar measures are in place in California, we feel very comfortable having Gay Days at Disneyland. We continue to believe that a modified Gay Days is better than no Gay Days as long as it’s safe, and we now feel confident about that.

So, what do you need to do? Nothing. If you currently have a hotel reservation in October, you need not take any action. Your reservation will automatically be cancelled within the next few days and your deposit refunded. We will have new booking information available very soon.

We’ll be in touch. And in the meantime, we hope that you are all staying safe and sane. We’ll be together again.
