Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party

Tuesday night, (after a nap and dinner) we attended Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. It went from 7pm-12am that night. You can dress up in Halloween costumes, trick-or-treat, there's a special parade for Halloween and different parties around. There was also a special presentation at the castle called "Villians". It had all the Disney villians from the movies. It was kind of creepy, so we didn't stay for all of the show.

This picture was on the ferry headed to Magic Kingdom for the party. The kids were so excited because they could see the castle. We bought them each a hat the day before when we found a hat shop and that was their costume. Even Eric got a pirate hat...I didn't find anything I liked, so I was the only lame one that didn't dress up.

This picture is just outside the gates at Magic Kingdom as we arrived. They really have this park decorated for Halloween with friendly jack'o lanterns everywhere. It was very festive!

The first thing we did was watch the "Boo to You" Halloween parade. It was very fun and we enjoyed the music too. I think Disney has the best parades anywhere.

In this float was Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy. They were so cute how they interacted.

Another shot, this time you can see Minnie better.

The hundred-acre wood with a Halloween flair.

A very cool pirate ship

Captain Jack Sparrow acknowledging that he had a look alike (Eric)!

Of course, the kids favorite, Goofy's Candy Co., which we did visit the actual store later.

We took advantage of the short lines and rode lots of rides...our first was Dumbo, which usually has a very long and slow line. It was great!

The carousel is always a hit with the kids

Alex and Jarem on the carousel...

Jarem's favorite of the night was the Buzz Lightyear ride. You get to shoot aliens and stuff and you get points for everything you hit as the ride moves.

The castle all lit up with the Villians sign up. We had a very fun night and ended up with lots of candy too.
