Amie & Family - Septmeber 2006

Halloween Party Friday Sept 22nd.

Today started off very very hot. We were worried about this party because of our costumes but it ended up being not to bad when the sun went down. It was hot but not as hot as it was all day. We started off going to Downtown Disney. We wanted to make it a short day since it was going to be a late night and it was so hot. We went to the Lego store and my son went crazy! he loved this store...we had a blast..my hubby was just as bad. They have cups you can fill with all kinds of neat things. We filled a bunch and came home with a ton of lego's. We also went to Once upon a toy and got 2 boxes filled of the Disney potato heads and lots of pieces to go with it. After a few hrs shopping we head to International Drive to Tony's Roma's...my husband favorite place and we found out till the end of the month it was all you can eat ribs...hubby was in Heaven! after this late lunch we headed back to the room to get dressed. We had fun getting ready...and everyone loved our costumes. We were all pirates. Hubby looked great! we were a little nervous because we did not see alot of adults dressed but once we got in to the park there were a ton of people dressed up kids and adults.

**Not So Scary Halloween Party**
Ok I have alot to say about this. I was start off saying that with any Holiday Disney does it like no other....everything is wonderful in Disney and always over the top. I had a great experience with this and loved the whole thing. I am glad we really did this...with that said I would not do it again. I think it is a one time experience.

(If I had to do a little pro and con here...below would be the con)

We got into the park and received our Free Trick or Treat bags...we headed in and at that time they were still trying to get people out that didn't pay. The thing is unless someone catches you I am sure people were there that didn't pay. I did see them asking a few people to leave but me and my husband felt that it was not right at 7:00 they were still in the park. We paid extra for this and they should be out of the park when the Halloween Party starts. It was very...very...very crowded the most I saw the whole time we were there...when it started off it was disorganized to me and we never saw or found a place to get a free picture that night. However one of the CM took a family pic for us with Goofey and Buzz.

They have special maps for this so you will get a Halloween one. We went in to the Dance party where we found a ton of characters...all the Villians and we got some great pics! they played Halloween music and you could dance with them it was alot of fun and exciting! We did get alot of pics here!

There was a ton of trick-or-treating and they give you the locations on the map...there is a section in Mickey's Toontown Fair ... Alice and Mad Hatter's treat party and it is a path to trick-or treat. That was alot of fun! we hit all the places and they give you hand fulls of candy. We filled 2 huge ziplocks with candy.

There was Halloween Dance Parties, Trick-or-treating, some attractions open, Villain's Mix & Mingle that takes place in front of the castle a few times that night, The Mickey's Boo-to-you Halloween Parade that was great! and then the best thing of all and the BEST...BEST...BEST FIREWORKS YOU WILL EVER SEE...the Happy Hallowishes fireworks were incredible...wonderful. I had goose bumps through the whole thing...very worth waiting for!
