I hope everyone had a Spooktacular Halloween!  I know we did.  We’d been getting ready for our Halloween festivities for months.  To look around our house it looked as if we’ve done the same things as normal.  But were they?

Nope here is how we spent our Halloween this year!castle_side

On Saturday, October 30th we hopped a plane and headed south for a week of fun at Disney World ….

We attended the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party on Monday, November 1st.  We decided last minute that we would surprise Dane with tickets to the event.  We had gone 3 years ago and enjoyed it but the weather really put a damper on it as it rained all night.  Not this year though, this year we had perfect weather and we had a fabulously fun time!

Our favorite ride, The Haunted Mansion, is made more spooky with special lighting and fog…..hauntedmansion_foggy

With deciding last minute to do the party I had to come up with a costume idea that was easy to travel with and not cumbersome while walking around the park.  I had found Incredibles shirts on Stylin Online and bought us some masks at our local Halloween store and there you have it, our costumes…incredible_family

The last time we attended only Dane dressed up.  It was much more fun with us all dressed up.  I couldn’t believe the reaction our simple costume received.  The majority of adults do not dress at all so when the Disney Cast Members see a family dressed up they make a big deal about it.  It was so fun.

We hit the candy stations and we weighed our bounty when we got home and we had over 5 pounds of candy!  I was concerned that it was the last night of the event and they might skimp but they didn’t and they handed out really good candy.  There was only one station Dane didn’t like, they handed out raisins.  So the rest of the night we were on the lookout for the candy barrels without the raisins!

During the Halloween Party event they have different or rare characters walking around.  The had the 7 Drawfs for a character meet and greet and the line for that was Looooong.  We skipped that.  But we did get pictures with….

The Queen from Snow White as the old hag…..boyandwitch

Smee from Peter Pan…..smee

And also Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas….boyandJack

We had a super fun time at the party.  It is fun to see all the costumes and how they decorate and light the park.

We go into the Christmas spirit early this year thanks to the quick change of decorations!  We had a whole week of fun at Disney and now it’s back to reality.
