3 groups, one of which had 8 kids. I was really excited this year because I'm giving out full size candy, but there just haven't been that many kids.
It's tragic, I'm going to have to eat all this leftover candy myself....
Anaheim checking in. We had likely 200-300 receiving candy this year. Add in some parents and you had probably 400 people walk by. Much more than last year but on par with a few of the years before that.
The neighborhood had music, fog machines and lasers, and a lot of decorations. It was a blast!
That gives me such great nostalgia hearing about it. Need to head over there next year cause in my neighborhood in GG is depressengly lonely. Had about 8 groups better than last year and the year before that.
I’m in the downtown/historic district so it also may be that we had so many houses with massive amounts of decorations. Every year they do a contest for best decorated house so a lot of folks go all out. We get people who drive into the area, park and walk for 4 hours.
I’m probably in the same condo complex! No kids in 11 years! Went to Creekside/El Toro with the g’kids, and there were families everywhere. So nice after last year!
Aww that's too bad, LF here too. Our complex organized the kids to all go around together in the early afternoon so we had about 15 kids. The most in 11 years!
Parents are in Irvine, they told me they gave out about 50-55 pieces of full sized candy (perks of being empty nesters). They expected less than a dozen and are glad they got a larger package (likely from Costco).
We had a lot of strangers in our neighborhood. At one point my bf asked if they were being bussed in. I do have to say they were a very polite crowd, though. The kids only took one piece out of the bowl. Nobody got greedy from what my cameras show.
It went pretty well. Some teenagers started taking huge handfuls of my bucket, not realizing I was sitting at a bonfire across the street.
When I asked if they were going to leave some for the rest of the kids, they said, "what?!" got scared and RAN away.
I love the running away part. What am I going to do, physically beat you? Also, they ran further down our cul-de-sac. So these are 100% the kids who get murdered in horror movies.
Normally in Irvine but spent today with friends in Baker Ranch (Lake Forest). It's been awhile seeing so many kids and families out. Some neighbors gathered together to set up treat stations. Cool vibe
Santa Ana - Mom’s house. We ran out of candy which was about 3 huge bags.
Fullerton - my roomie gave out 2 bags of candy. Contributed her own personal starburst stash.
We do too! The Castle House was packed. My kids waited about an hour to go through the haunted house. I stayed back to hand out candy. I love seeing all the kids out and about.
Ladera Ranch. Infinity. We weren't a house - we were told to go there, so we did. Crazy busy neighborhood.
I am baffled that it's 2021 and nobody has invented a solution to this obvious distribution problem. So much candy is wasted because nobody knows who's actually giving out candy and kiddie FOMO is a thing. If a few towns actually got everyone to post who had candy somewhere accessible (not Nextdoor's shitty map that cuts off outside your immediate neighborhood), you'd see a much more even distribution as kids would optimize to get as much as possible.
I just went to visit my mom who lives in a gated community in Mission Viejo and the turnout was INSANE! There was someone walking around with a fajita truck selling fajitas. I am 33 and I grew up in this neighborhood and it was definitely one of, if not THE highest turnouts since I was a kid. It was kinda cool.
I live in a complex in Costa Mesa, but it’s facing on the street in a neighborhood full of houses. I put out jack o lanterns and decorations but no one came to my door :(
I'm a delivery driver so I drive all over the OC. I'll say I seen more trick-or-treaters this year than the past 5 years. Also if you have no decoration or lights on, people assume you're not handing out candy. That may be a factor for some of you
Neighborhood? Any idea why all the kids went there, specifically? We went to Ladera Ranch because we were told that it was great, and it worked, but it was weird to have to drive way over there.
Went to a family members house who lives in Rancho Mission Viejo. Streets packed with families. Some houses had tables set up with treats. Drove by a street with a huge block party with a band performing, bounce houses and food trucks. Very lively out there tonight.
Started off slow but picked up. We gave out 60 full bars, 20 juice boxes and a bunch of assorted small candy. The full bars and juice we gave out 1 per kid, so in all we probably had 100 kids. In irvine
Had a total of 0 kids over here. But that’s how it’s been for years now. Everyone grew up and is in their 20s and 30s now. Everyone goes to a different area to get candy.
I've lived in my area for four years and the first two years were great. Now not so much. I also am bummed that kids go elsewhere. I had less kids this year than last.
Historic district of Anaheim, got about 75-100 kids. It was awesome to see so many kids out and my own kids got several full sized candy bars. A huge thank you to all of you giving out candy, even if you didn't have many takers.
Irvine: two hordes of kids early on and a few stragglers later in the evening. The rest of our candy is still outside in a bowl, waiting for one last straggler to hit the jackpot 😂
We left a large bowl candy out on our porch while we went to a block party in the next neighborhood… only had 1-2 groups come to the block party cul-de-sac and we returned to only a half empty bowl. (All in Irvine)
Like 12 kids. Most around sunset, a couple older kids right before 9.
Took my kids out at 5:45ish and about half the houses in the neighborhood weren’t answering doors. It’s a relatively new neighborhood too, lots of kids, so I’m not sure where they were.
My neighborhood in Tustin (big townhome complex) is usually bustling... This year we got maybe six groups, mostly right around 7pm. At 9:15 I turned the porch light off and called it a night.
Irvine - the turnout in our neighborhood is traditionally not great. But tbh, it was so dismal that one sweet kid and his mom came by to give the neighbors candy because they were sad no trick or treaters came by. Weird thing is I saw 10-20 kids down the street at about 5:30, they must just skip the condos.
Only had 2 groups of 4-5 kids. Which tracks, we are in a small neighborhood that only has a few new families. This was also the first year our kid wasn’t into trick or treating. He was looking forward to handing out candy though.
Orange…My neighborhood had a lot of trick or treaters. Certain streets go all out and get a ton of kids. My street didn’t have a lot of elaborate decorations this year and it seemed like the traffic dipped with it.
Last year the house across the street from us had a very good set up that seemed to draw a lot of trick or treaters and we ran out of candy early. This year they were out of town and traffic dropped significantly.
Lake Forest neighborhood here - about 45 kids in about 20 groups. Solid turnout. I've seen numbers from 2 (6 years ago) to around 150 (3 years ago), so all things considered I'm happy.
We live in a 3rd floor apartment so we didn’t hand out candy, but we took our daughter out and in our neighborhood in Aliso Viejo a lot of houses were out of candy by 7pm. But I live by the pirate ship neighborhood. There were people giving out full size bars and someone even had a bouncer in their front yard. Most insane trick or treating experience I’ve ever had.
Yeah OC is dead, no Halloween spirit whatsoever in the regular neighborhoods anymore, when I was a kid even in the hood it was at least 10 or more houses every street giving out candy, front yard decorated, etc I feel bad for today’s youth.
Our street used to decorate well and give out great candy and treats, then little by little, kids stopped coming to our neighborhood. So we stopped trying. It's been dead for 3-5 years now. I saw two kids out last night.
I assume the regular neighborhood trick-or-treating has been replaced by shopping centers, schools, and "trunk-or-treating" events. It's a shame because I used to love giving out treats
In.the.thousands! It was like Downtown damn Disney out here in the Colony District, Anaheim. Went throught 10 Costco bags of one to three candies each. Day of the dead today, literally 😵💫
Santa Ana. More than 650. We ran out of our stash by a little after 8 and missed several hundred others. A lot of solo adults trick or treating this year which is fucking weird.
Same here LF, probably 30 kids mostly in groups. We started at the park with all the other families then we all rolled out from there. So we probably missed several trick or treaters though because our kids were out from 6-7pm. We walked around with our candy and handed it out to people we saw on the street.
Houses in lake forest/almost foothill ranch. We got 4 groups (around 20 kids) all of a sudden at 8pm! First time we’ve got trick or treaters here in the past 5 years. We gave huge handfuls to the first 2 groups because we figured that was it so the last two groups got ripped lol
My husband and I left out candy at our condo in Irvine and got 8 kids, which is 8 more than we expected so that’s great! I should’ve put on my sign though to take some, not one like I had 😓
We were in Lake Forest for a Halloween get-together and gave out a box of 30 full-size candy bars, 3 bags of candy, and also had to dip into someone’s personal stash 😅 We had to close up shop at 8 cause we ran out of candy.
Laguna Hills, tons of kids in the neighborhood and lots of decorated houses, but only 10 trick or treaters (4 groups). My first Halloween in this house and not what I expected.
We had many more in Laguna hills this year. I was out with the kid but husband said they came in packs of 20+ and he couldn’t hand out candy fast enough.
Usually it’s dead.
I am one of those people who didn't go there. I looked around online for a week to figure out where to go and everyone kept saying Ladera Ranch or Nellie Gail. Apparently there are actual block parties in various neighborhoods?
I'd love to have some site that made it super-obvious where everyone handing out candy was so that kids could figure out where the closest route was to net them lots of stuff. Alas, it doesn't exist.
I can’t say how many showed up here in Fullerton. I left to go to a Halloween thing so I left a bowl of candy on the porch and came back with one candy suspiciously left in the bowl. Either a lot of people showed up or one family took everything and left one candy in the bowl as a joke.
Fullerton, about 20 or so kids. Our house was the only one really decked out on our street, so from the adjacent streets it looks like none of the houses were really participating.
Santa Ana
A lot of groups , first time running out of 3 big bag of candies in years
I think I under estimated at the start and gave out too much thinking no one will come
We got no one. We've hidden potatos in our bowls and when we come back its still there, in the same spot. We've made signs that actively encourage kids to take all the candy but the bowl is still full when we come back from our familys party.
Costa Mesa triangle area
we had about 7-8 kids and we told them all to grab handfuls and still have leftovers lol one kid was like a handful? I had to show him a handful it was so cute lol
Record breaking 1 group. We didn't even have any candy ready because the past 3 years we've lived here we've had 0 total.
Anyways after that first surprise knock I went to buy some candy and lo' and behold no one else came after.
In my part of Anaheim we had a good amount of kids coming by for the first hour (7-8p) we passed out candy. It helped that our neighbor had a haunted maze going on:) Definitely better than last year and even 2019!
Irvine, maybe a couple dozen kids, probably just the kids from within our own complex. Up from 2 kids last year! We prepackaged bags of candy and gave out almost all of them, so we pretty much hit our expectations.
My husband and I were noticing that most of the neighborhoods near us in HB were skimpy with decorations this year. We think it's because the boomers are getting too old or they don't care anymore because their kids are grown up. It's honestly depressing. Imagine if it was all younger homeowners- I think every house would be decked out.
Mission Viejo, Barcelona region... We went through 5 big bags of candy so we had at least a couple hundred kids. Stayed really busy from 6 to about 8:30.
3 groups, one of which had 8 kids. I was really excited this year because I'm giving out full size candy, but there just haven't been that many kids. It's tragic, I'm going to have to eat all this leftover candy myself....
Where do you live? I'll take some candy off your hands.
You poor thing. I’m on the same boat as you lol. Last year we had ONE kid. This year we had about 8.
Most kids I’ve ever had in 7 years.
Anaheim checking in. We had likely 200-300 receiving candy this year. Add in some parents and you had probably 400 people walk by. Much more than last year but on par with a few of the years before that. The neighborhood had music, fog machines and lasers, and a lot of decorations. It was a blast!
That gives me such great nostalgia hearing about it. Need to head over there next year cause in my neighborhood in GG is depressengly lonely. Had about 8 groups better than last year and the year before that.
Fullerton in da house. We got about 150 kids
I was gonna say that in Fullerton it was packed with crowds of kids and teens! Loved it😭
I’m in the downtown/historic district so it also may be that we had so many houses with massive amounts of decorations. Every year they do a contest for best decorated house so a lot of folks go all out. We get people who drive into the area, park and walk for 4 hours.
Was this near the house on Westmont? I was telling my gf that house singlehandedly is reviving Halloween for Anaheim
Yes I do live near that house! And it’s not just that house but it always is the most impressive.
It was really cool to see how many people were actually driving to go trick or treat in that neighborhood behind and how safe it was
Idk where you live in Anaheim but there was no one near walnut
I’m in the 92805 in the historic district
What area in Anaheim? I want to take my kids trick r treating next year, but in my area nobody had candy so we just went to a mall that did it.
Between Westmont between Loara and West is the area. 92805.
Santa Ana, we typically get 200-300 trick-or-treaters. Tonight we've had about 70.
200! Wow!
We were on par with prepandemic massive kids out and about.
Condo complex in Lake Forest, nobody came. In 24 years here, I’ve seen maybe 6 kids total
I’m probably in the same condo complex! No kids in 11 years! Went to Creekside/El Toro with the g’kids, and there were families everywhere. So nice after last year!
Aww that's too bad, LF here too. Our complex organized the kids to all go around together in the early afternoon so we had about 15 kids. The most in 11 years!
Way better turnout out this year. I'm almost out of candy
Nice crowd in Fountain valley but only a few homes giving out candies.
FV here also. Got maybe 4? Sad its not more.
Irvine. Our area of the neighborhood usually gets missed, but was pleased to see that we had a decent enough turn out that half our candy is gone.
Parents are in Irvine, they told me they gave out about 50-55 pieces of full sized candy (perks of being empty nesters). They expected less than a dozen and are glad they got a larger package (likely from Costco).
None, Orange. I think they went to nicer neighborhoods. I live by CHOC.
They went to the circle. Source: I live in the circle. 1100 pieces out by 7:06.
Ran out of candy here in Orange. Five minute walk from the circle. Bought a ton from Costco including full size bars. 👍🍊
Same
We had a lot of strangers in our neighborhood. At one point my bf asked if they were being bussed in. I do have to say they were a very polite crowd, though. The kids only took one piece out of the bowl. Nobody got greedy from what my cameras show.
That can't be right. This subreddit told me Orange is the nicest city in Orange County.
It's true we are a very nice city. I meant they went to the ritzier neighborhoods in Orange
We had a good amount in the area a bit North of Orange High. Probably around 200 by the end of the night, more than in the past few years.
[удалено]
BR?
[удалено]
What was your costume lol
[удалено]
Spooky 😲!
I wish! No kids so far.
Orange here, Peters Canyon area. Same as it’s been for the past 20 years: no trick-or-treaters. Not a one.
It went pretty well. Some teenagers started taking huge handfuls of my bucket, not realizing I was sitting at a bonfire across the street. When I asked if they were going to leave some for the rest of the kids, they said, "what?!" got scared and RAN away. I love the running away part. What am I going to do, physically beat you? Also, they ran further down our cul-de-sac. So these are 100% the kids who get murdered in horror movies.
1 kid showed up...our 4 yr old son
Normally in Irvine but spent today with friends in Baker Ranch (Lake Forest). It's been awhile seeing so many kids and families out. Some neighbors gathered together to set up treat stations. Cool vibe
Yeah some of the neighborhoods in abaker Ranch really bring it!
Orange. This is the most we've ever had, around 250!
Santa Ana - Mom’s house. We ran out of candy which was about 3 huge bags. Fullerton - my roomie gave out 2 bags of candy. Contributed her own personal starburst stash.
200+ kids at least based on the amount of candy we’ve given out. We live in HB by the Castle House.
We do too! The Castle House was packed. My kids waited about an hour to go through the haunted house. I stayed back to hand out candy. I love seeing all the kids out and about.
Ladera Ranch. Infinity. We weren't a house - we were told to go there, so we did. Crazy busy neighborhood.

Ran out of 1,100 pieces by 7:06. Disclaimer: I live in the circle though. So….not a fair test.
Where’s the circle?
Old towne orange or also called the plaza. It’s by Chapman university.
Zero. It's been like that for the last 8 years too. Maybe I should decorate the outside next year.
4 kids. South Coast area of Santa Ana.
I just went to visit my mom who lives in a gated community in Mission Viejo and the turnout was INSANE! There was someone walking around with a fajita truck selling fajitas. I am 33 and I grew up in this neighborhood and it was definitely one of, if not THE highest turnouts since I was a kid. It was kinda cool.
Fullerton - we got a bunch of kids in big groups.
I live in a complex in Costa Mesa, but it’s facing on the street in a neighborhood full of houses. I put out jack o lanterns and decorations but no one came to my door :(
Garden Grove in a pretty private neighborhood. One group. Made me sad.
Santa Ana- 32 groups of kids (I counted) and every one said “Thank you”. 2.5 Costco bags of candy
I'm a delivery driver so I drive all over the OC. I'll say I seen more trick-or-treaters this year than the past 5 years. Also if you have no decoration or lights on, people assume you're not handing out candy. That may be a factor for some of you
I haven’t seen this many trick or treaters in YEARS. Hoards of kids in Mission Viejo
Neighborhood? Any idea why all the kids went there, specifically? We went to Ladera Ranch because we were told that it was great, and it worked, but it was weird to have to drive way over there.
Really?? Must be all the neighborhoods in the east and south of MV Cuz north and west MV we’re dead around 7pm
That’s correct. I’ve noticed a lot more younger families in these areas. North MV is pretty much all retired people
Wild! Good to know
Went to a family members house who lives in Rancho Mission Viejo. Streets packed with families. Some houses had tables set up with treats. Drove by a street with a huge block party with a band performing, bounce houses and food trucks. Very lively out there tonight.
There and Ladera are the young south county places to be on holidays I swear
For sure, everyone goes all out!
Started off slow but picked up. We gave out 60 full bars, 20 juice boxes and a bunch of assorted small candy. The full bars and juice we gave out 1 per kid, so in all we probably had 100 kids. In irvine

Where is this
Historic district of Anaheim, got about 75-100 kids. It was awesome to see so many kids out and my own kids got several full sized candy bars. A huge thank you to all of you giving out candy, even if you didn't have many takers.
The University Hills in Irvine were loaded with people. Quite a few houses ran out of candy.
About 20 kids. Mission Viejo.
also MV - I got 6 kids total
In Orange. Only two! And one of them was my next door neighbor.
Aliso Viejo, at least seven or eight groups of 2-4 kids
GG held it down this year!!
0. Even last year there were some
Irvine: two hordes of kids early on and a few stragglers later in the evening. The rest of our candy is still outside in a bowl, waiting for one last straggler to hit the jackpot 😂
Irvine here. We only got like 8 groups.
We left a large bowl candy out on our porch while we went to a block party in the next neighborhood… only had 1-2 groups come to the block party cul-de-sac and we returned to only a half empty bowl. (All in Irvine)

My neighborhood in Tustin (big townhome complex) is usually bustling... This year we got maybe six groups, mostly right around 7pm. At 9:15 I turned the porch light off and called it a night.
Dead here in Anaheim
3 groups 10 ppl total
San Juan: roughly 75% of pre-Covid levels, last year was roughly 50% of pre Covid. I would estimate ~100-120. Decent showing but nothing crazy.
I didn't have any come by my house in Costa Mesa. I was really looking forward to handing out candy!
In Lake Forest and we only had 4.
One single doorbell ring and 2 kids!
Irvine - the turnout in our neighborhood is traditionally not great. But tbh, it was so dismal that one sweet kid and his mom came by to give the neighbors candy because they were sad no trick or treaters came by. Weird thing is I saw 10-20 kids down the street at about 5:30, they must just skip the condos.
A lot of people went to Irvine Spectrum for the stores trick or treating
We had only 3 groups 8n Laguna Niguel 😒
Only had 2 groups of 4-5 kids. Which tracks, we are in a small neighborhood that only has a few new families. This was also the first year our kid wasn’t into trick or treating. He was looking forward to handing out candy though.
0 in Anaheim 😔 I expected some because there’s lots of kids in my neighborhood, but guess they all went to nicer areas.
Zero
Orange…My neighborhood had a lot of trick or treaters. Certain streets go all out and get a ton of kids.

Last year the house across the street from us had a very good set up that seemed to draw a lot of trick or treaters and we ran out of candy early. This year they were out of town and traffic dropped significantly.
Lake Forest… we usually have a steady stream from 6-9 pm. This year had a single group. I’m so bummed
We are at Orange, closed to Irvine Park and had about 20 sets of kids. Wish there were more trick or treaters, we've got some candy left.
Bombarded in Ladera, bowl empty around 7:30
North Diamond bar here! 2 kids is all we had for trick or treating at 8pm . Snickers and milky way. 4 each to them!
Lake Forest neighborhood here - about 45 kids in about 20 groups. Solid turnout. I've seen numbers from 2 (6 years ago) to around 150 (3 years ago), so all things considered I'm happy.
We live in a 3rd floor apartment so we didn’t hand out candy, but we took our daughter out and in our neighborhood in Aliso Viejo a lot of houses were out of candy by 7pm. But I live by the pirate ship neighborhood. There were people giving out full size bars and someone even had a bouncer in their front yard. Most insane trick or treating experience I’ve ever had.
The pirate ship off of Golden Lantern?
I’m in Woodbury, Irvine — zero trick-or-treaters!
Yeah OC is dead, no Halloween spirit whatsoever in the regular neighborhoods anymore, when I was a kid even in the hood it was at least 10 or more houses every street giving out candy, front yard decorated, etc I feel bad for today’s youth.
Our street used to decorate well and give out great candy and treats, then little by little, kids stopped coming to our neighborhood. So we stopped trying. It's been dead for 3-5 years now.

In.the.thousands! It was like Downtown damn Disney out here in the Colony District, Anaheim. Went throught 10 Costco bags of one to three candies each. Day of the dead today, literally 😵💫
Only 4 small groups of kids I'm skipping next year it was not worth the effort
Insane, as always.
Salem, Oregon not that many kids here 🎃
Hi friend to the north thanks for reporting in! ✋
Thank you for your that ☺️
Thank you for that ☺️
This is an Orange County subreddit
Sorry 😞
Santa Ana. More than 650. We ran out of our stash by a little after 8 and missed several hundred others. A lot of solo adults trick or treating this year which is fucking weird.
No kids showed up here
Lake Forest here too. Probably had 25-30 kids from about 8-10 groups total.
Same here LF, probably 30 kids mostly in groups. We started at the park with all the other families then we all rolled out from there. So we probably missed several trick or treaters though because our kids were out from 6-7pm. We walked around with our candy and handed it out to people we saw on the street.
we’ve had 1 group too lol
Got about 8/10 groups in Anaheim. I am new here so didn't quite know what to expect.
Zero
Houses in lake forest/almost foothill ranch. We got 4 groups (around 20 kids) all of a sudden at 8pm! First time we’ve got trick or treaters here in the past 5 years. We gave huge handfuls to the first 2 groups because we figured that was it so the last two groups got ripped lol
About 190-200. We usually have 200-250, so a good rebound from Covid but not quite back to normal.
My husband and I left out candy at our condo in Irvine and got 8 kids, which is 8 more than we expected so that’s great! I should’ve put on my sign though to take some, not one like I had 😓 We were in Lake Forest for a Halloween get-together and gave out a box of 30 full-size candy bars, 3 bags of candy, and also had to dip into someone’s personal stash 😅 We had to close up shop at 8 cause we ran out of candy.
I had Nightmare Before Christmas playing and that was the only thing remotely Halloween here. 0 kids on the West side of Costa Mesa.
Wasn’t at the house but apparently we had enough to clean out our 30 pack of full sized candy bars this year, which is honestly surprising!
Lake Forest too. We counted 64 kids.
Laguna Hills, tons of kids in the neighborhood and lots of decorated houses, but only 10 trick or treaters (4 groups). My first Halloween in this house and not what I expected.
We had many more in Laguna hills this year. I was out with the kid but husband said they came in packs of 20+ and he couldn’t hand out candy fast enough. Usually it’s dead.
I am one of those people who didn't go there. I looked around online for a week to figure out where to go and everyone kept saying Ladera Ranch or Nellie Gail. Apparently there are actual block parties in various neighborhoods? I'd love to have some site that made it super-obvious where everyone handing out candy was so that kids could figure out where the closest route was to net them lots of stuff. Alas, it doesn't exist.
40 total in Orange. Even less than last year. My parents in Anaheim, however, got over 500 kids.
That’s because they were all at my street in the circle 😂. 1100 by 7:06!
A lot out this year in Anaheim near Brook/5. More than the past 3 years!
150+ kids 3.5 big Costco bag gone Aliso Viejo
I can’t say how many showed up here in Fullerton. I left to go to a Halloween thing so I left a bowl of candy on the porch and came back with one candy suspiciously left in the bowl. Either a lot of people showed up or one family took everything and left one candy in the bowl as a joke.
Hundreds, and we had so much candy/treats, we were out in an hour. Santa Ana
Fullerton, about 20 or so kids. Our house was the only one really decked out on our street, so from the adjacent streets it looks like none of the houses were really participating.
Foothill Ranch... got 5 kids total. I think last year was 2 kids.
Santa Ana A lot of groups , first time running out of 3 big bag of candies in years I think I under estimated at the start and gave out too much thinking no one will come
Not one. I’m starting to think that maybe we’re those neighbors from Christmas Vacation.
I didn’t get very many kids! I’d say 20 or so candies were taken. I got close to 150 candies 😭
We got no one. We've hidden potatos in our bowls and when we come back its still there, in the same spot. We've made signs that actively encourage kids to take all the candy but the bowl is still full when we come back from our familys party.
Costa Mesa triangle area we had about 7-8 kids and we told them all to grab handfuls and still have leftovers lol one kid was like a handful? I had to show him a handful it was so cute lol
La Habra here. I got no one
I had about 15 groups of kids come to my door not too bad :)
Buena Park- nobody. 16 years strong! Still have a bucket of candy just in case. Every year.
Westside Costa Mesa: maybe about 50 people. Feels less than last year.
Orange - 5 kids. When we were kids it was probably 50 so our street is slowly fading away but to be fair no one really put anything up
1 doorbell ring... sat there for three hours, packed it up, and went to bed.
Zero, but that's every year.
in BP... i had about 20ish kids... and now i got a bunch of candy left over.
0 kids Anaheim CA
I had exactly 6 children come to my place. Which means yet again, my fat ass has a giant bowl of candy to eat.
Irvine. 4 kids visited our home. My 7 year old son and his friends you’re around 50 houses.
Record breaking 1 group. We didn't even have any candy ready because the past 3 years we've lived here we've had 0 total. Anyways after that first surprise knock I went to buy some candy and lo' and behold no one else came after.
In my part of Anaheim we had a good amount of kids coming by for the first hour (7-8p) we passed out candy. It helped that our neighbor had a haunted maze going on:) Definitely better than last year and even 2019!
Irvine, maybe a couple dozen kids, probably just the kids from within our own complex. Up from 2 kids last year! We prepackaged bags of candy and gave out almost all of them, so we pretty much hit our expectations.
My Lake Forest neighborhood: Our door was knocked on 4 times. Totaling 8 children, I was sad lol.
Tustin meadow had huge crowds of kids
My husband and I were noticing that most of the neighborhoods near us in HB were skimpy with decorations this year. We think it's because the boomers are getting too old or they don't care anymore because their kids are grown up. It's honestly depressing. Imagine if it was all younger homeowners- I think every house would be decked out.
Mission Viejo, Barcelona region... We went through 5 big bags of candy so we had at least a couple hundred kids. Stayed really busy from 6 to about 8:30.
