I think that maybe it is a Sprint in Disneyland thing. I tried sending several pictures in February. Some I sent either sent numerous times or not at all. It was the oddest thing. I hope somebody posts a picture of Duffy in a costume. His area is so cute.

I have the worst possible Sprint service in Disneyland. People will call me and I don't get the call because there's no signal and it goes straight to voice mail...and then I don't get the voice mail for hours. Sometimes my Picture Mail works, sometimes it doesn't. It's very random. Other people seem to have better service with their non-Sprint phones while at DLR. Anyway, as for Duffy and his Halloween photo spot...well, from what I have heard, he is supposedly wearing a li'l pumpkin outfit much like the stuffed Halloween Duffy is wearing (photos coming up), which is on sale in the parks. I didn't stop for any PhotoPass photos this time around, but I might have to do that if I see Duffy in a pumpkin-type outfit!! Duffy was slacking off! He was not where he should have been on Friday!!

Ironically our girls had T-Mobile in June 2010 and believe it or not it was worse service than Sprint. Kacy thinks that it is because T-Mobile only works goood in bad neighborhoods.
 Loren's best friend Vincent's Sprint was even working on POTC. I just think it is an iffy thing.

Loving it so far Sherry....I'm so glad you got your day trip in!!! Your pics are making me sad.....we would have been there in 11 days
 But I'm enjoying them too (if that makes sense). Can't wait to see the rest!!

I've never had T-Mobile. But I don't want to go to bad neighborhoods so maybe I will avoid it!! It's funny you mentioned POTC as being one of the places Vincent's Sprint service was working at DLR!! My Sprint service, as I told you, is so spotty. Let's say, for example, that Shawn and I are supposed to meet up with Jackie and Bob at DLR at some point. Jackie has my number as well as Shawn's number, but she will generally try calling me first to set up the place and time where we are all going to meet. When Jackie calls me, the signal will be messed up so I won't get the call. She goes straight through to voice mail and will leave a message. Not only do I not see the call coming through when Jackie tries to reach me, but I will not even get her voice mail message for another couple of hours - long after the time we were supposed to meet up! This is why she has Shawn's number too - so if she can't get me, she can call Shawn. I don't know what cell phone service Shawn uses, but it always seems to work in Disneyland!! BUT, one random, fluke time that my Sprint service decided to work was...on the POTC ride! In the middle of the ride, all of a sudden I hear some sort of familiar tone and it's my phone. (Obviously I was not going to answer it at that time.) So my stupid service won't work in any other place in Disneyland but it will work on Pirates of the Caribbean!!I guess that's the lesson for today, kids - if your Sprint service is not working at Disneyland, go on POTC and it will be fine!!

 Thank you! I'm so sorry you didn't get to do the Halloween trip this year (or a holiday trip), but I really think that by the time you finally get to visit the parks during Halloween Time, it will be an even bigger and better celebration. While it was nice to see something Halloween-ified in the way of the Duffy photo spot in DCA, I am still holding out hope that when all the work is done on the DCA makeover, Halloween will really be a part of DCA too, whereas now it is really just focused on Disneyland park, and only in certain areas! I'm very glad I got in the day trip as well (thanks to Liza/funatdisney to taking me down there and back home) - I missed Halloween last year and I knew I wanted to really get in there and take some photos. But I still need at least a good couple of days to hit the specific areas I want to hit for Halloween season, and then much more than that for the holidays. Oh, by the way, even though I always had my secret plan to head to DLR on opening day of Halloween Time in September, I was still planning to do an early October trip - as I'd told you months ago - around the time you would have been there. But I felt like I wanted to get a hotel room if I were going to do the party, and that PIN code I got for 10/16 - 10/31 threw off my course of action. And then I wasn't even able to use the PIN!  When you figured out that you wouldn't be able to do the Halloween trip, that was just one of the things that made me think I should again readjust my party plans. Now I am still planning to go to the party - I wish it didn't cost so much, so soon before my holiday trip, or I would go more than once - but it won't be early October. Quote:
Thank you, Kaitlin!  I am going to go take a peek over at the main forum and see what's happening, and then I'm heading to Photobucket to gather up more photos for the next trip report installment, continuing on with where I left off yesterday morning! Lots o' photos coming, everyone!!

The Return of the Masked Mouse and His Diabolical Twin - September 16, 2011 - Part 5 So when I posted Part 4 of this Halloween Time TR yesterday morning, I had split from funatdisney/Liza so I could go on a photo-taking mission and was making my way down Main Street.    This is a creepy-looking critter!     I was not expecting the characters to come by, out of nowhere!   Mickey is busting a move! The band stopped to perform some choreographed dance moves to "Under the Sea," which was cute. I didn't have a good vantage point to get photos of the dancing, so I skipped it.        More from the hub...and a little Day of the Dead for ya, comin' right up!

The Return of the Masked Mouse and His Diabolical Twin - September 16, 2011 - Part 6 Still at the hub... There are 7 character pumpkins which surround the Partners statue. Each character pumpkin represents a different land in Disneyland.  Jack Skellington represents New Orleans Square...   Woody represents Frontierland...   Pooh represents Critter Country...   Tinkerbell represents Fantasyland...   Roger Rabbit represents ToonTown...   Buzz Lightyear represents Tomorrowland...   And Tarzan represents Adventureland...   Although I couldn't get clear shots of them, on the backsides of each pumpkin were little enhancements to the themes. For example, on the back of the Pooh pumpkin there are little honey (hunny) bees buzzing around, and on the back of the Buzz Lightyear pumpkin there are, I think, planets or stars or something? Now...on to Frontierland, where Dia de los Muertos - Day of the Dead - is celebrated in a colorful display!           Coming up in Part 7...a few more photos of the Dia de los Muertos display and we're going to mosey on over to the Halloween Round-Up for some rustic Halloween fun!

 I'm glad I helped to provide a lift of some kind, somehow. Did you have a not so good day? I'm going to post another installment now (one more for the road, before I sign off for the evening), and then I will come back tomorrow morning with more. I do have the Halloween party coming up soon, so that will be kind of a bookend/add-on to this current TR, but I doubt that my camera will take very good night photos so I don't know how many pictures the party will actually produce for me. We'll have to see. They may all be big, blurry messes. I'd better start studying up on my manual on how to get the most out of the 'night mode' or whatever it's called! Quote:

Well, my problems were finally solved. First my dryer broke 2 weeks ago and then my washer died on Sunday night. We had to buy a new dryer but we got "lucky" with the second one because I had my grandpa's in my storage. But the plumbing going out to the washer got jacked up so until tonight because of massive overtime that Scotty has been working it wasn't fixed until tonight.

The Return of the Masked Mouse and His Diabolical Twin - September 16, 2011 - Part 8 Meanwhile, back at the ranch..... The one lone carver on duty was busily hacking away at helpless pumpkins, as many a guest stopped to gaze at him in awe and wonder. Seeing as it was only the first day of the Halloween Time season, there was not the abundance of intricately crafted and detailed Disney character masterpieces that you might find mid-season. But what was on display was amazing. It's fascinating to see the results of the carvers' handiwork. They work all season long, constantly churning out art made of pumpkins of various sizes and even colors. If a pumpkin has a bump or blemish on it, the carvers use that flaw to their advantage, working it into the design of the character! No pumpkins are wasted at the Halloween Round-Up!                       without flash:  with flash:   Okay, that's all for the moment. I can't deal with my computer and Photobucket together anymore tonight. It's a wonder I haven't hurled this PC out the window. Part 9 coming tomorrow morning (more fun at the Round-Up!)!!!!
