It's been over six months since Halloween, so at this point we are half way to Halloween! Better start thinking about costumes for this year. Belle's Blue dress? Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas?
I have a bit of time until October 31st. For now it's time to recap the end of my Walt Disney World Adventures.
Rachel left work a bit early so that we could change back at her apartment. She went as Cousin June from Katamari damacy. It's a video game character. She made her dress herself!
I went as Mary Poppins. I found everything at thrift stores. I added flowers and berries to the hat, pin stripes to the jacket, and a bow to the shirt.
We came into the park before official party time and went to take a picture with the mouse himself. Minnie was there too. From there we joined the princess line. For Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party the Princes hang out with the Princesses. After waiting for an hour and half we met Snow White, Snow Prince, Cinderella, Prince Charming, Flynn Rider and Rapunzel. Word to the wise, don't wait in that line. Not worth it!
And to top off my Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card set we got the limited edition Bag of Tricks card. 61 cards and counting!
From there we found characters that neither of us had taken photos with. It had been since 2005 since I had seen Jane, not very long since seeing Terk and I've never seen Tarzan. Rachel waiting in line as I met some other characters. By the time we got to the front Tarzan had wondered off. NOOOOO! So after the fireworks we came back and found all three together. They were the most entertaining gang of the night!
While Rachel was waiting in line for the Tarzan gang I went over to Pixie Hollow to meet Tinkerbelle. She always has a friend with her. With the new movie coming out soon after my visit her friend was her long lost sister Periwinkle. Both were very cute and I make it back in time to meet Jane and Terk.
Right after meeting with the Tarzan gang we walked deeper into Adventureland to get photos with the Aladdin gang. Another first was getting a photo with Abu! Two new characters so far!
Fireworks, or as Disney cast members call it Pyro, was not as good as Disneyland. The next time I visit for the party, which I'm sure I will, I will skip it! And I love fireworks way more than parades but the Boo to You parade changed my mind, at least for the night.
Wow! This is the best parade that I've ever seen. There were tons of characters in the show that you never get to see in the parks, either in other parades or meet and greets. All of the lost boys, lots of villains, the hitchhiking ghosts, Kanga and Roo, and more Haunted Mansion awesomeness. What a parade. Maybe next time, watch it twice, skip the pyro.
One more new character for me. Maleficent. After working in the parks to almost three years and more visiting I've never seen her! Finally! And we also saw her nemesis of Aurora and her Prince Phillip.
As the clock was coming closer to striking midnight we found two more characters. Another first for me was Experiment 626. Buzz was our final character of the night.
We missed out on so many characters! No princess line for me next time. There were Minnie, Mickey, Donald and Daisy in costume. Gaston was around plus more villains. Next time...
After collecting many character's autographs and photos we headed out. Even with broken shoes, 100 percent humidity, and bruised toes we had a fantastic time. But it was a bit light on the candy. So I guess I will have to go to Disneyland's Halloween party to make up for it!
