Our 2nd night at Disney was our night for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, so we decided to take it 'easy' that day. We stayed at the hotel for the most part--spent some time at the pool, then before we knew it, it was time to get packed and ready! You could be at the park at 4, so we got there in normal clothes to ride and play for a bit.
It was nice because in addition to being mid-week and not crazy busy, some folks were leaving, as the Halloween guests were coming in, so we got to ride several more rides with our fast passes right away. The girls loved the Buzz lightyear ride, that spun around and we got to shoot at characters.
We also had time to grab some dinner and drinks as we meandered back towards some of their "favorite" attractions from the day before, lol.
Slushies were a favorite for the girls--even though it wasn't "hot," it certainly wasn't cold, and ice melted in lemonade fast. They were glad to sit and cheers for a bit.
A special wristband got us into the park and rides, so we all had our special pass as we floated around. We had to make sure to head to the back of the park for the roller coaster, Ariel, etc. and SURPRISE, we ran into Susan and Melissa (Blaies) and hooked up with them for a few minutes.
Katy Perry and Ariel had fun trick or treating, but the lines were kind of long and uneventful, so we just doubled back to the rides again--I can't complain about that!
The whole park was decorated and characters were in costume too. Even though it's Florida, it's Fall, and it was getting dark by 6 too. By the time we had hit most of the trick or treat stations, we found ourselves smack upon the fireworks near the castle. I can saw without question, that was the most amazing fireworks display I have ever seen. The whole 15 minutes was like a finale!! Then at the very end, they sent up fireworks all around the perimeter of the park, so they were literally all around you. It was incredible. I would go back again just for that--and the soundtrack, because of Halloween, were all movie villian clips. amazing.
We are not too skilled with night photos, but the decorations were incredible. The castle was a spooky purple, but still magical, and the DROVES of people there all started to file out after the fireworks.
The pumpkins all were glowing and in synch with a soundtrack song that was playing all down main street. The girls were all but asleep as the thousands of people (literally) rushed out of there, so we took our time and took in all the sites and characters (most of which who were guests and NOT employees, haha)
As we made our way out the gate, we noticed the girls had in fact nodded off, poor things. Combine that big first day with a pretty night late for them, and they couldn't hang.
I wish they could have seen some of the cool decorations, but it wasn't worth waking up our sweet little tired girls.
Getting them on the monorail was ok, but on the tram was another ordeal...but they didn't fight too awfully much.
And by the time we got back to the hotel, there were no more wigs, candy bags, and we even lost poor Cora's magic bands somewhere--lucky for us, she was the one person who really didn't need it on the rides anyway :)
