I love the pirate costume for your DS! Very cute!
A simple costume for you is some mickey ears and a tee-shirt- you can say you are an original mousekateer! Or bring some fairy wings (u can find those cheaply enough) and put on some crazy fun makeup-you can be an easy fairy!
I don't have a day off after my trip but I am thinking about taking the next day off too-I only work a 1/2 day that day so Im not sure it's worth taking off yet. We'll see how I'm feeling.
The costume came in the mail yesterday and I tried it on him....SOOOOO ADORABLE!
I actually thought about fairy wings for me, but wasn't sure if they would get in the way, moving through crowds, riding rides, etc. I saw some adorable wings at our local Halloween store and I still may pick them up. I would have to get some makeup. Hmmmm....now you have me thinking!
Mmmm, making me drool talking about F&W! You will LOVE MNSSHP! Going with the flow sounds like a good plan! I would maybe go through one candy station so he can enjoy some candy, but then save the rest of them for the end of the evening. The lines are MUCH shorter at the end of the night! If you watch Hallowishes the first time they show it and then watch the parade, you can spend the last hour or so doing rides with no waits! It really depends on what your goal is for the night. If you don't really HAVE to see lots of characters, going with the flow will be great. We LOVED MNSSHP!
Good idea to get some candy early and then do more trick or treating later. I hadn't thought about that at all. I think we will only ride the rides we just HAVE to get in one more time before we leave. I might let Caden pick his favorite(s)! Since MNSSHP will be our LAST night at Disney I hope that we have already met many characters throughout the week and don't HAVE to meet too many more. I think Captain Hook @ the Villains Mix & Mingle will be a must and MAYBE the dwarves. IDK! I really just can't wait to go...regardless of how much we accomplish.
I love that you have a whole afternoon devoted to F&WF. It sounds amazing! I can't wait to start hearing reviews about it, even though we aren't going this year. I was never that interested in it until last year when we were there the day before and everything was set up and I was so sad we weren't going to get to experience that.
Departure day is sad, but I think you are lucky you get to drive. I almost wish we could drive sometime, everytime we fly I am completely wiped out by the time we get through security, it's so much harder with kids! I flew all by myself for a friends wedding this pas spring and I was amazed at how simple and fast everything was without a 3 year old and all the accessories
I am like you. I wasn't interested in F&WF until I started reading stuff here on the DIS!
Silly message boards...giving me one more thing to obsess over! HAHA
I have a coworker who suggested Priceline to get cheap flights but the more I thought about it I think I just want to stick with driving. I like the freedom of having my own car and I don't think I am quite ready to fly with my son just yet.
w/ that in mind...they do face painting in the parks and apparently on MNSSHP nights it is free read about it on some disney blog...but that may be fun for you. or go to your local second hand shop and see if something inspires you...say a Bum or an 80's punk rocker...Matt bought his clothes for less than $20
SOUNDS like an AWESOME last full day at WDW! what a great way to finish off the week
I have read that face painting at MNSSHP is NO LONGER!
Oh well....I might print out some face painting examples and try it out on myself.
THAT could be scary!
Great plans for your last couple days!
I can't wait for the Food and Wine festival! I was considering printing out the map, but I'll probably just wait and get one there!
I can't wait til MNSSHP either! I love the little pirate costume! I kind of wish I was dressing up too, but I feel kind of dumb since my DH refuses to dress up!
I might just get some cute cat ears or something and wear those!
Ugh, departure day is the worst!!
I printed the map but it's hard to read, which I think is part of the reason I haven't planned much yet.
My DBF refuses to dress up, but he is going to wear a Nightmare Before Christmas T-Shirt so I guess I won't complain TOO much!
My mom is going to "sort of" dress up. She's wearing a pirate like peasant top and I think a skirt...IDK. And a big Gold hoop earring. I think I may get some fairy wings. We'll see!
