Trick or Tweet! The Lurkyloos Do F&W, etc: 11/8 Last Day at WDW!
This is the story of our Halloween trips to Walt Disney World and Disneyland, with a little bit of Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings research thrown in for good measure. (And, no, "research" is not a euphemism for "wedding crashing" this time!) It was also the first time we spent more than one day at Epcot's Food & Wine Festival or ventured to a non-Disney theme park—in this case, Islands of Adventure for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Plus, we were lucky enough to steal a bit of The Roots' last few days in Orlando for a fun meal and trip to Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
************************************************** ****** REPORT INDEX Day 1: Disney Wedding Site Visit + Swolphin Food & Wine Classic Day 2: Wedding Location Scouting & Party for the Senses Day 3: Sweet Sundays Event + Interview with Disneymooner's Sam Day 4: ChargerGate, Event Locations, GF Tea, Old Key West Photo Extravaganza, Citricos & Cake Quest '10! Day 5: Site Tour at Hollywood Studios, Checking In to the Beach Club, Touring the Karamell Kuche & Patrick Finally Arrives! Day 6, Part 1: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter Day 6, Part 2: The Rest of Islands of Adventure Day 6, Part 3: Wizarding World After Dark & Dinner at Emeril's Tchoup Chop Day 7: Magic Kingdom with The Roots & Dinner at Epcot with D23! Day 8: D23's Sip & Stroll + Food & Wine Festival's 3D: Disney Dessert Discovery Party Day 9, Part 1: D23's Sip & Stroll Day 9, Part 2: The Rest of Sip & Stroll, Plus I "Meet" Howard Jones! Day 10: Magic Kingdom + Blizzard Beach + IllumiNations from Hacienda de San Angel Day 11: Backstage Safari at Animal Kingdom! Day 12, Part 1: The Boring Part (Complete with POETRY!) Day 12, Part 2: Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, in Costume as Constance & Harrison Hightower, with the Roots! Day 12, Part 3: Headless Horseman, Grave Diggers & Pelvis-Thrustin' Cowboys—the Rest of MNSSHP! Day 13: Last Day at Disney World! ************************************************** ****** And you are...? Lurkyloo and Mr. Lurkyloo, crazy Disneyland fans who are wringing every last penny from their Disney Parks Premier Passes for trips around Disney’s world.   The Trip * Who is in your party? Lurkyloo & Mr. Lurkyloo, with special guest appearances by The Roots, Carly from The Disney Wedding Blog, and numerous friendly DISers! * When did you go? October 7–20, 2010 * Where did you stay? First time at the Dolphin, Old Key West, and the Beach Club (real hotel side, not DVC) * Where did you eat?
* Any special plans, events, etc.? And how!

I've been hoping you'd start this Halloween report--we just booked for next year over Halloween and I can't wait to hear all about F&W, Disney at Halloween and Harry Potter--our girls 9 and 7 just started reading the books this fall.
P.S. With all the multitasking you've successfully performed on previous trips--I have FULL confidence that you can handle finishing your Christmas trippie and working on this new report at the same time
