Okay, after Wednesday night church, teaching preschool, going to college, and dealing with a nauseous three year old, I think that I'm finally ready to move on to Thursday! 
With Thursday comes MNSSHP! We didn't do a whole lot Thursday morning. DH cooked breakfast. We were going to do some brief resort hopping (Contemporary and Poly), so we caught the boat to the CR. No sooner than we entered the gift shop, DD announced that she had to potty. I told DH to go find the bathroom and I'd catch up in just a second. A minute or two later I catch up to them outside the bathroom...just as DD is peeing in the floor.
Okay, so maybe I should have taken her immediately, but she HAS been potty trained for over a year and this was the first mention of needing to use the potty. Guess all the excitement was getting to her and she didn't say anything until the last minute. Lesson learned. Back to the campground. I did use a plastic shopping bag for her to sit on so she didn't get anything on the seats on the boat.
By the time we got to the campground, she was tired. Once she was changed, she crawled up in bed for a nap. DH fixed lunch -our version of southern smothered hot dogs. They were pretty yummy.
After lunch, we got DD dressed into her Jesse costume and we were on our way. Our plan was to do non-MNSSHP activities before 7pm, then concentrate on rides/characters/trick-or-treating that was available from 7-12.
I've read in a lot of places that there is a LOT to do at the parties. I completely underestimated how long it would take to do some things (namely waiting in line to see the Fairies). DH had a really good time. He just enjoyed the ambiance. I felt that while it was nice, we spent a lot of time and didn't get a lot of stuff done. We'll probably do it again, but not for at least a few more years.
My camera battery was almost nothing, so we relied a lot on photopass (had a prepaid cd). Here are some of the pics that I took prior to 7.
Our first stop was Mickey and Minnie's houses since they may or may not be there on our next trip. Next was off to Frontierland for Country Bear Jamboree. DD had been wanting to see it ever since watching the country bears on the campground video. Halfway through, she decided that she'd seen enough. After it was over, we headed to Adventureland for the Jungle Cruise. DH had never seen the Tiki room, so that was our next stop. DD really enjoyed it. Me...well...I now know why I haven't seen it since the early 90's.
I'll get into the actual party in the next post.

It was warm during the day and cooler at night. The only time that we were very cold was waiting for the EWP. It was a little chilly, but the air off of Bay Lake made it feel much colder.
