The parade at DL's party is called a "cavalcade" because it's relatively small. I would call it an elaborate cavalcade, or a small parade. I wouldn't expect what I understand you see at WDW, but it's nice for what it is.
If you can, do the cruise. Halloween at DL and WDW will still be there next year, but the Wonder will only do Alaska cruises from next year as far as west coast cruises are concerned. So you will not get that chance again.

This isn't an Alaskan cruise--it's the California Cruise. The draw for us is that it's one of the Pixar cruises where you'll get to interact with some of the Pixar team, etc. DH loves anything Pixar so this would be ideal. However, he only has so many vacation days. I think we can do it vacation wise, but he's still crunching numbers. This has been going on since yesterday. How long could it possibly take?
Is this fun for a toddler? (2.5 years) also, do you know if we get any deals if we book through our hotel? We are staying at the grand californian... and this is in the disneyland park right? I already have tickets for the day, what makes this worth another 54 bucks? the later stay?
Thanks! I'll have to see if I can talk my Hubs into adding this to our list it does sound fun! but also I don't know if my little one will stay up! Maybe we can play it by ear and go last minute... does it sell out easy? We would go Tues 10/2It is a time where adults can dress up as well. There is trick or treating throughout the park, special fireworks only shown during the HP and a small Halloween cavalcade.
Only you can decide if it is worth it to you. Discounts are not available by staying at the GCH, but if you have an AP, DVC membership or Disney Visa Card holder, you are able to get the AP rates. Note that some dates (Halloween and most Fridays) have only one price available.
It took some convincing with my DH as well, but he is all for it. We are attempting a budget trip this time...if that is possible at DLR...so this is my one splurge for the trip.Thanks!

Well, we haven't been to the one at WDW, so this might be a better introduction for us.
We're not sure that we're going at this point. We're trying to decide between Halloween at WDW, Halloween at DL, or one of the Sept. Pixar cruises. The thing that's holding us back from the cruise is DH's vacation availability. Sigh. I want to do it all. At the very least, we're planning on doing the Southern CA Adventures by Disney tour next summer.
Thanks, everyone, for all your information.

At least you don't have to buy a party ticket for your 2.5 year old.
A great argument for getting in as many trips as you can while they're still free!
TigerlilyAJ said:Well, we bought our airfare last night. So, we should be in the parks on some of the days (how many? Ask the ticket booth if they'll upgrade our PHs! Scared to hear of the people being denied....) between Oct 30 and Nov 12!
Still don't have MHPs, though, since we're waiting to buy the UE package.
What do you mean about people being denied? I haven't heard anything on that before...
