Part 4 - Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Ok –as I said – we were wearing jimmies – our costume?? A Disney sleepover!!! We had our hair up in pigtails and skipped along like little girls. I had to take the house shoes off to drive since Mickey’s head kept getting in the way. If you ever have to walk around WDW in house shoes – I recommend against it. They have no support and after 4 hours – my feet and back were KILLING me!!! We arrived like 5 or 10 minutes after the gates opened – we played with a little girl on the monorail that asked her mom why the ladies were in pajamas….

After getting our candy bags – we headed to Liberty Square first – to have our photo taken. Then we went to Haunted Mansion, followed by Splash Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean. On Splash Mountain one of the cast members asked us if we were planning a makeup party as part of our sleep over and if so could he come too???? After getting a bit damp on Splash – we headed to Tomorrowland for Space Mountain and Buzz Lightyear. Both were complete walk ons!! I love the fact they are taking photos at BL – my only beef is that the queue is no longer covered and everyone has to stand outside – I could see this getting REALLY hot in the summer. We rode TTA – right as the fireworks started – they showed Fantasy in the Sky with the witch’s flight. After the fireworks – we headed to Main Street and sat in front of the bakery, on the curb next to Riley and his grandmother. Riley is an adorable toe-headed young man (3 years old) who told me all about the bats with Mickey ears flying on the building and waited for the parade to start. That is the closest I have been to any parade at WDW – the character interaction was fabulous!! I loved the villain’s float!!! The ride of the headless horseman was too cool as well. After the parade was over – Cheryl and I headed “home” we were exhausted. We had been awake since 6am and it was quickly approaching 11pm – 17 hours!!! One great thing about our costumes ---- take off the shoes and fall in bed!!! I know some of you have done this with your little ones – but it worked well for 2 big girls in desperate need of sleep too!!!

What’s up next – Day 3 – Keys to the Kingdom, Packet Pickup and O’Hana!!!
