Halloween Princesses

     Last night, Brooke, Alyssa, and I headed to Magic Kingdom, for round 2 of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party.  We all dressed as different princesses,  Brooke as Belle, Alyssa as Rapunzel, and me as Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), but very few people could figure out who I was.  Disappointing!

     We did our usual round of grabbing as much candy as possible, and stopped to meet some friends in between!


     We grabbed some snacks, and snagged a spot to watch the fireworks.  Holiday party fireworks are always special, and we knew from last time that HalloWishes would really deliver.
          We couldn't leave the party without making one last pit stop.  What's the point of dressing up like a princess, without a photo-op with the ladies themselves?!
 
      Definitely another successful Halloween Party!  Hoping to go to one more before the switch to the Christmas parties!
Boo to you!

It's Not So Very Scary

     Last night, I got to attend Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party for the first time.  In preparation, I decorated buckets for my roommates for trick or treating!
  I went with Brooke, Alyssa, Brittany, and Ashley.  We each dressed as a minion, Minnie Mouse, Rapunzel, Snow White, and hipster Buzz Lightyear.
     We met the boss man first, as we usually do.  Then we headed into the park, meeting princesses (who were actually with their princes!), and getting lots and lots of candy.  They also had a limited edition candy corn soft serve.  Alyssa and I split one, and even though it was too sweet to finish, it was super yummy and festive!
      We headed back to Main Street to catch the second showing of the Boo to You Parade, and got a great spot right in front of the castle.  They had lots of characters in the parade with Halloween costumes on!  I just know that music is going to be stuck in my head for days.  The best part of the parade, besides the candy being thrown into the crowd, was the gravediggers.  The gravediggers were in the part of the parade that was Haunted Mansion themed.  They had metal shovels, and as they were moving along the parade route, dancing and singing, they had incorporated scraping their shovels along the pavement, creating a shower of sparks.  It was such a neat effect, especially along the fairly dark parade route!
      Immediately following the end of the parade, we turned around and rushed to the front of the castle, to await the start of the Villains Castle Show, which started in 10 minutes.  Again, a great spot!  The show featured Dr. Facillier, Queen of Hearts, Malificent, Cruella DeVille, and Captain Hook.  It was hilarious to see them all dancing together.  Worlds colliding!  It was another great performance, with more catchy music and great effects.
      As the show ended, we made our way back to circling treat stations and wandering the park.  We even hit a dance party with Woody, Jessie, and Bullseye (which I SUPER SADLY don't have pictures of).  We only had a bit of time before fireworks started, so we headed back again to Main Street, to get a spot.
     The HalloWishes Fireworks were one of the best I've ever seen.  They even had them around the perimeter of the park, so it was very different!
          The Halloween Party was so much fun, and I'm already excited to go again!
Boo to you, you and you!
