Good morning!
Thanks for following along with my live report. I feel like I haven't even had time to post anything we've been so busy! Just trying to cram in as many things as we could in 5 days. I've got another 500+ pics uploading right now to photobucket. I'm going to try and pick a few from last night to share. It's not easy!
My thoughts on last night's
MNSSHP... it was crowded but not as bad as I was expecting. My last party event was
MVMCP last December and I thought it was much more crowded than last night. We were able to find decent Hocus Pocus viewing as well as parade and hollowishes without too much trouble. We didn't do any of the character lines, they were super long and not really important to us. I did snap some photos of Jack and Sally from the side, they were neat! I think a person would have to sacrifice a lot of party time for characters if they wanted to do that. For me, my main objective was to see Hocus Pocus (ended up watching it 3 times) and of course the parade (watched both) and fireworks. Also I wanted to get pics on Main Street of the decorations and lights.
Hallowishes was great as usual. I sat at the Partners statue on the railings so I had a perfect unobstructed view of the castle, but I think the best view would have been further back. Or actually behind the castle. Because many of the fireworks were blocked from my view. It was still good though.
Midnight seemed really early to end things. We headed over to SDMT after the last parade and were the last people on for the night. Walking back through the park with just a few handfuls of people was neat. I wish it would have ended around 2:00 instead.
My son who was less interested in the shows mainly did rides. He rode Space Mountain about a half dozen times, also Thunder mountain as many times too. He's probably too old for this event but he was a trooper and hung out with me.
He said he much preferred Halloween Horror Nights so I'm glad we did that for him. Personally I'd take MNSSHP any day!
One of my highlights of the night was getting my personalized magic band. I enjoyed choosing the design and I'm so happy to finally have PURPLE!!
I saw several other designs I liked as well. I told the castmember they need RESORT themed bands, oh my goodness I would have to have a ton of those!
Well, we have about 8 hours until our flight so we're debating Epcot or Disney Springs.... or possible Animal Kingdom. Traveling with Nic this time down has been interesting for sure. Have you ever seen the movie European Vacation??? Well let's just say he's given the perfect immitation of Audrey this whole time whining and complaining about missing his girlfriend and wanting to go home. He's already begging can she please come with us next time.
Ah young love. Why is it so hard to find someone who wants to go to WDW with me???? I feel a lot of solo trips in my future.
We went straight to our room from the airport and haven't needed to go down there for anything. We've been driving everywhere, or taking the bus from stop #2 which is literally right in front of our room.
Might take some time to sort through them and post.
