Halloween decorations in September?

We 're going to DL in late September and noticed on the DLR website that the big Halloween celebration starts on September 29, the day we check out.

But I also noticed on a different website that the Mickey's Trick or Treat event is occuring on weekends in mid to lat Sept.
Does this mean that the park will already be set up for halloween?

I'm so sad we'll be missing the Haunted Mansion while we are there.:(

Re: Halloween decorations in September?

I read that halloween stuff kicks off 10-1...... I would love it if it started in September.

In WDW, MNSSHP starts on the 15th of September but I don't know if they have that at DL or if they do, when it starts.

Re: Halloween decorations in September?

They don't do a whole lot with the parks for Halloween, so I don't know if you'll notice big differences, even on your check-out day.

Obviously Haunted Mansion is the biggest change - I hate when it's closed! - but other than that, there really aren't many noticeable decorations for that holiday. They do the Halloween party stuff in DCA, but even then I've never seen residual signs of the party.

The only thing is that *sometimes* they leave the projection of a Jack-O-Lantern on California Screamin' even when the party's not in session, as long as it's dark enough. It's purty cool!

Re: Halloween decorations in September?

Is the haunted mansion different from Halloween to Christmas? Last year it was Nightmare before Christmas. Guess I will find out 10/2/2006

Re: Halloween decorations in September?

I think starting Hallowe'en decorations right after St. Michael's is good -- sort of like Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving.
