Well, after DH changed his pants....

...we headed out to the bus stop to make our way to MK and once again a bus pulled right up as we walked over. I have to say that this was probably the best trip we've had in a long time for the buses. We never waited more than 10 minutes coming or going!
We arrived at MK, got our wristbands and dropped gear off at the locker. Now it was time to shop for costumes. I picked up a cute Halloween shirt and the Minne Witch headband with attached bat. DH....well....he was Goofy! (or more like his normal self...

) He got the character costume shirt and matching Goofy hat and ears! After our shopping and quick change in the little boy and girl rooms it was time for dinner at CP. Dinner was a bit disappointing as the food wasn't as good as it's been in recent years. We even got a little cupcake to celebrate our anniversary. Here are some pics from dinner.

We finished dinner around 6:30pm and immediately went to get in line for the dwarfs. We'd done our homework and knew that would be the long line for the evening. Our plan for tonight was to see as many characters as possible and get as many pics as possible, since we had 3 parties. We also wanted to see the parade and fireworks tonight. We had about 15 families in front of us and before we knew it, our ghost host was kicking everyone out of the park and out came the dwarfs!

After the dwarfs, the Hag was out over by Snow White ride so we went to meet her. Incidently, this was the only time we saw her between all 3 parties!

We went over to see the Villians show and try to meet some of the Villians after. This was probably the worst experience of all of the parties. Very unorganized and pure chaos! I would have thought the CMs would have done a better job at helping people to line up, but not so much. We did meet Jafar and then disaster struck. The gentleman that was helping us get our pics (we did the same for him) dropped our camera in the shuffle. Thankfully, we only lost one picture and our camera wasn't damaged. I felt really bad for him. It really was an accident and he was writing down his name and phone number in case our camera was broken in order to replace it, which we told him wasn't necessary!

We staked out a spot on Main St for the fireworks and absolutely LOVED them! By far, the BEST fireworks we have ever seen at WDW, EVER! Including Wishes, HolidayWishes and the fireworks from P&PP.

When the fireworks were over we grabbed snacks and staked out a spot for the parade. LOVED IT!! Thankfully, we received a bonus pic of the headless horseman because our pics didn't come out very well!

After the parade, we went over to see Cindy's coach and to get our "magic" shots with our hitchhiking friends! We did manage to go to a couple of trick or treat stations and we did wind up riding POTC and HM.

On our way to the gate, we noticed that Tarzan and Co. were on the porch with very little wait so we stopped to meet them!

Now it was nearly midnight so we called it a night. Picked up our junk out of our locker and managed to get a bus within 10 minutes and it was back home to SSR. Our joke for the evening was how long the SSR line was...thankfully there were multiple buses coming in. We decided that it must have been SSR night at MNSSHP!
Up next....our first day at DHS!
