Mickey's Halloween Part II

T with her idol Ariel.

We were extremely lucky to be seated at a table outside, at the Italian Restaurant. This was fab as we got to see all the people in their costumes entering the park. There were some really clever, elaborate costumes. Of course, nothing to rival the sights one sees on Lincoln Road on the beach, but that's another story. This is g-rated disney, after all.

After dinner we headed back to fantasy land. On the way there, disney had set up special stations with candy. You got in line, and were able to trick or treat the employees handing out the candy. T was thrilled. There were also special areas set up for a dance party. In tomorrow land (where space mountain is located) there was a DJ, who was mixing cool songs and everyone was dancing. What was extra special for us was the dance party in Fantasy land...where all the kiddie rides are located.
I can not tell you how much fun T had dancing in the dance area. It was set up by Ariel's Grotto. All these little kids in their costumes were rocking out to songs. I have a short video of T dancing to "Walk Like an Egyptian", that's really really cute.

T danced her heart out for about 45 minutes straight. Poor thing was dancing so hard, she got a cramp in her side.
After dancing around, we rode Its a Small World a few more times, then found a spot to watch the fireworks. T wanted to leave, b/c the spooky haunted mansion voice would come on making announcements park-wide, which she proclaimed was too scary. We made her stay, and she really enjoyed the fireworks show. Nobody does fireworks like Disney.

After that, we had to go one last time on Its a Small World, and then left the park around 11:00 p.m.

I can't say enough about how much fun this was. Even the parades were fun. They would stop the parade, all the characters would get off the floats, and they'd invite everyone into the middle of the street to dance with all the cast members. Conga lines were going ever 20 feet or so. So, if you ever get a chance to go, I highly recommend it!

What fun!!!! We may just need to meet you there next years for the festivities. Love T's costume.

A marvelous plan was made in the stars,
to create a miracle across the ocean so far....
Then entwine and weave all the hopes and labor,
it would take to bring us this joy called "Taylor"....
Now three lives are blessed and somewhere in the stars,
the planners are smiling, as we all are.
