I hope everyone had a Spooktacular Halloween!\u00a0 I know we did.\u00a0 We’d been getting ready for our Halloween festivities for months.\u00a0 To look around our house it looked as if we’ve done the same things as normal.\u00a0 But were they?<\/p>\n

Nope here is how we spent our Halloween this year!\"castle_side\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday, October 30th we hopped a plane and headed south for a week of fun at Disney World ….<\/p>\n

We attended the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party on Monday, November 1st.\u00a0 We decided last minute that we would surprise Dane with tickets to the event.\u00a0 We had gone 3 years ago and enjoyed it but the weather really put a damper on it as it rained all night.\u00a0 Not this year though, this year we had perfect weather and we had a fabulously fun time!<\/p>\n

Our favorite ride, The Haunted Mansion, is made more spooky with special lighting and fog…..\"hauntedmansion_foggy\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 I had found Incredibles shirts on Stylin Online<\/a> and bought us some masks at our local Halloween store and there you have it, our costumes…\"incredible_family\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The last time we attended only Dane dressed up.\u00a0 It was much more fun with us all dressed up.\u00a0 I couldn’t believe the reaction our simple costume received.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 It was so fun.<\/p>\n

We hit the candy stations and we weighed our bounty when we got home and we had over 5 pounds of candy!\u00a0 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.\u00a0 There was only one station Dane didn’t like, they handed out raisins.\u00a0 So the rest of the night we were on the lookout for the candy barrels without the raisins!<\/p>\n

During the Halloween Party event they have different or rare characters walking around.\u00a0 The had the 7 Drawfs for a character meet and greet and the line for that was Looooong.\u00a0 We skipped that.\u00a0 But we did get pictures with….<\/p>\n

The Queen from Snow White as the old hag…..\"boyandwitch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Smee from Peter Pan…..\"smee\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And also Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas….\"boyandJack\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a super fun time at the party.\u00a0 It is fun to see all the costumes and how they decorate and light the park.<\/p>\n

We go into the Christmas spirit early this year thanks to the quick change of decorations!\u00a0 We had a whole week of fun at Disney and now it’s back to reality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
