I guess its time for me to get back to posting on this tr... been slacking much too long.
Day 9 was our last full day at WDW
. Our game plan today, since we did not have any ADRs scheduled was to relax and spend the day by the pool - which is exactly what we did. I got up, showered and then put on my bathing suit (no I don't have any pictures - it would more than likely break the camera! LOL) and headed out for breakfast and the pool. There is a table sort of in a corner that was shaded for most of the day and I wanted it!
Grabbed my pastry and tea and managed to get the coveted table. I sat, ate, drank my tea and worked my Kindle to check facebook and play games.
Charlie came out to join me and we took turns going into the pool. What a wonderful day!
About 3 pm it was time to head back to our room and get ready for the party! Yep, we had tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! The best thing though, was that this was Friday the 13th and there was a free Villain's Bash at HS and a lot of people were headed there instead of to the MK! At least I hoped so. This was our first time going to the party, so I wasn't sure what to expect.
Charlie and I dressed as pirates -
We headed to Casey's for hotdogs for dinner. Last time we were in the parks, Casey's was closed for refurbishment, so we didn't have a chance to eat there. The hotdogs were good, but I'm one of those that like my hot dogs "well done", i.e., burnt. LOL
Then we went over and rode POTC again and then went to Tomorrowland and went to the Monster's Inc Laugh Floor - I love this show!
There was no line for the Tomorrowland Speedway, so we rode that one too. The last time we attempted to ride this, we got to the front of the line and they closed the ride because "there was lightning in the area". You would think they would give the people at the front of the line fps or something, but no...
After that we walked up to Philharmagic and then, since there was no line, we rode Peter Pan for the very first time ever! We didn't wait in line for candy since, C is diabetic and I didn't want to waste time waiting in line - and I don't need the candy myself.
We walked around a bit and then realized they were blocking off areas for the Hallowishes. We waited around the hub behind the castle and the fireworks were overhead - they were awesome!
We went over to the Haunted Mansion - this ride is so much fun in the dark! The cms were all made up to look like ghouls!
And these guys were just waiting for someone to pick them up!
and apparently so were we!
The lighting on the HM was spooky!
We rode this ride several times since the line was never very long.
We wandered all over the MK, riding our favorite rides all evening, until it was time for the 2nd Boo to You parade. We found ourselves in Frontierland and found front row seats in front of the arcade. Was not very long before the headless horseman came riding down the street.
I don't have any pictures of the parade - was too busy enjoying it to worry about taking pictures.
After the parade we made our way out to the front of the park. I had to pick up some gifts we left to be engraved and then made our way out to the bus.
Only one day left....where, oh where will we end up?????
