Hey guys i was lucky enough to attend this years Disneyland of Departure event and i had such an awesome time.
What the project is:
"Project: Disneyland of Departure is a seasonal gathering for Kingdom Hearts fans, byKingdom Hearts fans, at the Disneyland Resort and Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California. During select days throughout the year, the primary of which is one day in October, fans from everywhere gather at Disneyland, in cosplay or with Kingdom Hearts apparel and merchandise, for Mickey's Halloween Party. We meet, we mingle, we go on rides together, we take pictures, and we enjoy all of Disney's seasonal tricks and treats during the Halloween season."

Unfortunately i was not able to get a ticket for Disneyland but they made a change where they would do all the planned activities in downtown Disney shopping center and go into the park last to just hang out.
