I love your pictures from AK. I too love the tree of life, they put so much detail into that. Doesn't the festival of the lion king just make you want to jump down their with them!

Thanks! It's just gorgeous. YES--I want to be a part of it!

Boo to You!

Let me just say, Mickey’s-Not-So-Scary-Halloween-Party was SO much fun! None of us really brought costumes, but I changed into orange and black and we headed out…

The Boo to You parade was adorable. I was just so amazed at all of the details and the way Disney truly does go “all out” for everything. We had a really great spot on the front of the curb on Main Street.

Goofy is such a character! I loved his candy machine!

These guys creeped me out! They got really close to us, and one of the guys got right in my cousin’s face.

I wanted to be one of these girls! I have shoes like theirs (but they're black) for swing dancing!

We were able to go around “Trick-Or-Treating” and had a lot of fun doing so. Even though they didn’t hand out much candy (hey—I’m still a kid at heart) the characters were all dressed up really cute, and everything was all Halloweenly festive.

This was the best photo I could get of the Toon Town Fair entrance. It was really cute.

After a while, everyone went back to the hotel but my mom and me. We had a fun “girls’ night” with the villains and Ghost Mickey!

Is it just me, or is it always a little awkward to take pictures with villains? Since they can’t put their arm around you and ham it up, I never really know what to do with them… But these villains were pretty good about telling you how to pose. I had fun posing like a bad guy!

When we went when my sister was 5, she was very upset that my mom suggested that she take a picture with the Queen of Hearts at MGM. She said she was very ugly, and she had a mean face. My mom talked her into it, though, and her face was PRICELESS! She had a look of disgust mixed with a little fear—She was not a happy princess! Anyway…

Cruella was by far the best villain! She is just great…what a fun character to be!

I needed a date for the night…but for some reason, he didn’t want to walk around with us. Oh well.

We ended the night with a picture with Ghost Mickey.

MNSSHP is SO much fun! I highly recommend it to all kids and kids-at-heart. Disney’s done it again!!


Up next: Our last full day—Epcot!

Your MNSSHP pictures made me even more excited!!!

I love the pictures of you posing with the villans!

I thought I posted this yesterday but I must not have. I love you MNSSHP pics! Are you going again this year? I'm trying to talk my DH into going, he isn't a real big halloween fan.

I'm so excited for you!! You and your family are going to have a BLAST!!! Thanks--it was a lot of fun to stay and take pictures with them. They were so serious!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun. I don't think we're going this year. We haven't really talked about it, but I think we're going to try something else that we haven't done before. I definitely want to go when we have kids though. Right now, I'm looking at "Everything Else In The World" in my Birnbaum Guide to see what else we could do for the cost of MNSSHP. Tell your DH that it's a lot of fun--and you don't have to dress up. Plenty of people weren't. It's a good time for rides too.

Wow, what great pictures from MNSSHP!!! I've always wanted to go but October just doesn't work out for travel, at least until I'm out of school. The pictures with the villains are awesome, and I can imagine what you mean about posing... I still feel a little awkward sometimes with the "happy" characters!

Thanks! It was a lot of fun. You should look into missing a week of school/work. That's what I did when we went in October. I highly recommend it--you just have to make sure your professors will let you make up work!

Yes--I'm pretty awkward when posing with ANY characters!

Yes--I'm pretty awkward when posing with ANY characters!

I totally feel you on that one. I don't think I have EVER posed with any of the non-costume characters (princesses, etc). It's one thing to not "see" the person you're posing with, it's completely another to have the person "in real life." Totally weird for me

I know!! I'm always wondering what they're thinking. You know it has to be weird for the characters. They have to hug all these crazy, smelly, over-excited guests!

I just bought my very first Vera Bradley bag!

Thanks to autumnpalm, I checked the sales on the vera website, and the prices were great! I bought this little beauty for $25! It's the Cambridge Mini Hipster.

Can you say, "Hello, Disney!"?


Aaaahh! I'm so ready to be there!

 

[Roxychica7]

Yayy!!! to your 1st Vera!! I have 3...thanks to the DIS I particularly love the regular sized Hipster, it fits my wallet, ipod and digital camera among the other essentials. I'm excited for you!!

Thanks! I'm SOOO excited! I can't wait to get it in. It should come in Monday at the latest. I'll post a picture of me with it when I get it! I already have my eye on a regular hipster too

Ah, the addiction has already begun
Can't wait to see it when you get it!
(Shh..I'm thinking about getting a mini!)

 

[autumnpalm]

LOL you bought it already! I smiled when I read your thread title... I'm so happy for you! I love the pattern you chose and you got a great deal on it too. Can't wait to see pictures once you get it... Monday at the latest? Wow, they ship fast!!

 

[ClaraBug]

I love Vera Bradley bags too! I already a small collection of VB bags and I have only been "collecting" for about 16 months

As you know from my pre-trip report, i bought the small backpack for our trip....NEXT WEEK!!

 

[pinkpixie0920]

Cute bag! I was looking at VB and I wasn't sure if the mini hipster was too small. Let me know how you like it when it comes in!

Haha! I know--I really had the Vera bug, didn't I?! Did you see my little shout out to you in my post? You're right--the ones on her sight are great deals! And I can't believe they're so fast! Standard shipping is 3 business days! Too bad they can't ship to Canada! Maybe you could have them ship to a friend in the US and they could ship it to you...

I think I'll be following in your footsteps with the whole "collecting" thing! I've already got my eye on another! Yes--your small backpack is adorable! I can't wait to see it in pictures! You're going SOOOO SOON!!!

Cute bag! I was looking at VB and I wasn't sure if the mini hipster was too small. Let me know how you like it when it comes in!

Thanks! I looked at the catalog and they had pictures of both. I think the mini hipster is going to be better for me. But if it's too small, that just means I get to order another! I'll post a pic of me with it!

 

[HeatherBelle614]

Love your bag! Great choice! Can't wait to see more pictures!

 

[annabean]

love the mickey not so scary halloween party pics! Never been a big fan of Halloween but Halloween at Disney, now that's a different story!

The Vera Bradley bag is super cute. I've been eyeing the mini hipster too (in peacock). Now that it's on sale... time to shop! hehe.
