- Meeting times and locations for the spooky trip to Disneyland on May 20

Meeting times & Locations are listed below
Other info that will help with your day at Disneyland.
-Please leave all flyers and promotional material at home when visiting Disneyland. This
is not a club night when you leave the club and there are people handing out flyers out. If Disneyland Security sees you handing out these kinds of items out, they will either
1. take this promotional material away from you.
2. will be escorted from Disneyland property.
Or both.
Bats Day in the Fun Park has set up an avenue for you, to promote whatever you want to promote, at the Bats Day Black Market on Saturday May 19. We have set up Flyer Zone for you to place your information.

-You can dress to impress, but keep in mind that Disneyland will be open to the general public and there will be families present. Bats Day in the Fun Park, the annual spooky trip to Disneyland is just a park meet during a normal operating day at Disneyland. Please use discretion regarding the length of shirts and skirts and language on clothing. Be respectful. What you may feel is appropriate dress may not be to the normal park attendee. Disneyland will have final say on what constitutes appropriate attire. If you look like a Character or Disneyland Resort Cast Member, you may be ask to go back to your car and change what you are wearing.

12:30 pm – Sleeping Beauty’s Castle Photo (For everyone)
4pm – Baby Bats Photo @ Sword in the Stone, in front of King Arthur’s Carrousel. For kids only (under the age of 13).
8pm – Haunted Mansion Photo (For everyone)
Please read since there are specific instructions for each group shot. By following these instructions will ensure a smooth experience for everyone.

12:30pm – Sleeping Beauty’s Castle Photo
Since the Castle photo op is a large group, please read the following instructions and share this info so that this photo will be able to be taken. By following these instructions will ensure that this process is a smooth one and you will be able to be in the castle photo.
- The group photo will be taken at 12:30pm so be sure to be in place about 10 minutes before hand. This photo will take no more than about 15 mins to do.  We just want to get into place, take the photo and then go.
- If you arrive early to the photo op, please stay out of the street to allow all guests and ride vehicles to be able to get to their destinations.  If this area gets to congested and the street is not clear, Disney has the decision to stop this photo from happening. We would hate to see this from happening. So please, the street must be free and clear at all times.

- Please do not camp out on the sidewalk in front of the castle, to try to be in the front row of the photo.
- Please be advised that you are in the first 3 rows, you have to be sitting for the photo.  No parasols can be open if you are in any of these rows.  If you wish to stand or if you cannot sit on the ground, please be in the rows in the back.  We want to make sure that everyone can be seen in the group photo.
- Everyone who wants to be in the photo cannot sit in the street.  The street has to remain clear.  You also have to stay in between the “Fire engine” and “omnibus” station stop poles.  If you are on the outside of these poles you will not be in the photo.
Please see photo from previous year.

- You may be asked to move backwards (IE: take 3 steps back) to allow for space.
- The group photo will be broken down in to smaller group photos.
- If you move during this process, your image may become distorted. Please stay still while the photo is being taken.
- If you do not wish to be in the photo, then please do not come to this photo op.
- Noah K will cue you when the photo will be taken and will let you know when the photo has completed. 
- Just as a reminder, always be curious to your fellow attendees, park guests and cast members. And most of all don’t forget to have fun.
- Disneyland will also be taking photos of the groups. If you would like to purchase or preview the photos I suggest that you pick up a DISNEY'S PHOTOPASS card. You can pick up one of these cards for free at the Main Street Photo Supply, which is located at the end of Main Street or from one of the Cast Members who will be taking photos. There will be a cast member at each of the photo meeting spots that will swipe your card once the group photo has been taken. When you are ready you can go to the Photopass building and look at your photos.

You can also view your photos online up to about 30 days as well as purchase all of your photos online. Disney will mail them to you on a cd. Each of these photos will be high res for printing.


4pm - The Baby Bats Photo, for kids only (under the age of 13). At the Sword in the Stone next to the Carrousel in Fantasyland.

8:00pm @ The Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square
Please make sure that if you want to be in any of these photos, that you get to each location 15 mins before the time listed. The group photo for each location will be take approximately 5 mins after that time stated.

Disneyland will also be taking photos of the groups. If you would like to purchase or preview the photos I suggest that you pick up a DISNEY'S PHOTOPASS card. You can pick up one of these cards for free at the Main Street Photo Supply, which is located at the end of Main Street or from one of the Cast Members who will be taking photos. There will be a cast member at each of the photo meeting spots that will swipe your card once the group photo has been taken. When you are ready you can go to the Photopass building and look at your photos.

Important * 8:00pm Haunted Mansion photo information.* Important Please Read.
There will be mini group photos taken of about 30-40 people in each photo. They will be taken on the steps of the Haunted Mansion. You should plan to arrive at the Haunted Mansion around the fountain that is next to the Haunted Mansion between 7:30pm - 7:45pm.

At 8:00 you, with your party, will start to line up to go into the Haunted Mansion queue area. Please be sure that your entire party is together before you get into line for the photo. That way you can be sure that you will all be together for your photo. To help move the photos along smoothly, if your group is too large, it may be split up in between photos. 

There will be someone taking count of the entire group SO PLEASE WAIT FOR NOAH K TO TELL YOU WHEN TO ENTER THE HAUNTED MANSION.

During the count, while you are entering the Haunted Mansion, every 100th person who gets counted will be handed a sign with a number on it. Please make sure that you hold it up when your photo is taken. That is what number you are in the final group photo. I wonder who will get the “999” sign.

You and your group will go through the queue and when you get up to the first pillar of the Haunted Mansion one of the Bats Day Staff people will tell you to hold your spot.  This person will then have 30-40 people at a time come down to the steps of the Haunted Mansion to take the photo. 

Disney’s Photopass team will be taking this photo.  Once the Photopass team is done taking the photo, Noah will signal you to enter the Haunted Mansion.  You will enter the Haunted Mansion by walking down the stairs of the Haunted Mansion and taking the ramp that is to your left at the bottom of the stairs.  This ramp will take you up into the foyer of the Haunted Mansion.

If you have any questions about the photo meet times and locations, please email the Official Bats Day in the Fun Park site.  Do NOT contact Disneyland.  This event is not sponsored by, nor has any affiliation with, the Walt Disney Company.
