and we were about to enjoy Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party!
Regardless we had a wonderful meet with the Fairies. Terrance was meeting with Tinkerbell and Carson thought that was cool to meet a boy fairy. Tinkerbell loved Carsons sword which made a slashing noise and walked over to Terrance to show him. She had our kids really laughing trying to figure out what this lost treasure was. When I think about it, I think Carson (my I'm too cool for characters 8 year old) was more into this meet than Alexa. Not that she didn't enjoy it but Terrance and Tinkerbell really had him laughing. Great memory! Here some pictures of the meet. 
Whats ironic is his middle name is Charles and we were so close to naming him Charles with a nickname of Charlie, but ultimately decided on Carson Charles instead LOL! Anyway, Carson, aka Charlie, wanted to ride with Katie, so Brandon and I rode with Alexa. She felt safe to be in between us for her first ride. Despite the nerves, Alexa ended up LOVING this ride. 
The kids wanted to go on it again, so we did! Once again to the front of the line. This time Carson and Alexa both wanted the front seat, so I rode with them and Katie and Brandon rode together.
) As we were about to get on the Magic Carpets the rain came pouring down!! We got the ponchos out and huddled underneath the awning near the entrance to the ride. Katie was on the phone trying to figure out if the parade would be delayed or not. Carson decided he still wanted to go on the ride in the pouring rain, so we let him go by himself. (I have no pictures because I didnt want to get my camera out in the rain) But he thought it was so cool to be on this in the rain all alone! Through the pouring rain I could see his huge smile each time he came around. 
This was my favorite character meet of the trip. It is such a cute area!
Yes, they made it extra magical for us! The private guides were wonderful. They taught us so much about Disney as we walked along. It was so nice not to wait in line and we did enjoy it. The Fairy meet was the only time I felt bad about it. I think because the way it's set up made it awkward to go ahead of everyone because everyone could see us. Usually we went in the fastpass lane or side entrance.
I had my camera tucked away due to the rain and I was in the moment and didn't think to get it out. Plus I was trying to wrestle off my poncho and had a 5 year old fairy hanging on to me for dear life. 
Darn! Anyway, she exited the stretch room right before the pre-show started and waved as the door closed. I did manage to hand the little fairy over to Brandon and get my camera out to take a few pictures of us alone in the stretch room. It was so strange and cool to be in that room alone.
!!
There was one other couple in this reserved area; otherwise it was just us and a few CMs!! Katie said the Headless Horseman would not be making an appearance due to the rain, but we didn't mind we were just so thankful the parade wasn't cancelled completely. After it was over Katie also mentioned some dancing skeletons missing from one float and Winnie the Pooh and gang were not wearing Halloween costumes. But we still enjoyed it. Here we are in our special spot, looking a little drenched, but still having a wonderful time.
First of all the The Boo To You Parade itself is just awesome! The music, dancing, characters in their cute costumes, candy, villains and ghosts with the special effects
its the best parade I've seen at Disney! Secondly having this reserved area gave us the opportunity to slip in 2 minutes before the parade started with out being crowded or having a blocked view. Also, because we were practically the only people on the bridge beside the other couple and CMs, we felt like we had a private parade just for us. Almost every character, dancer etc. came up to the kids during the parade to interact with them, give them hugs, or high fives
.it was priceless! The cowboy dancers took turns putting their hats on Carson's head and the cowgirl dancers gave Alexa a little spin. It also seemed the characters on the floats were performing and singing right to us. I even got a bunch of kisses blown to me from Jack Sparrow up top of the pirate float. It was amazing experience, hence why it landed in the title of my trip report. I did my best to capture our experience with a few pictures but I mostly took video. Its hard when you are trying to enjoy it as well. These pictures do not do it justice, but here is what I have.
Here are my kids decked out in their adorable Peter Pan costumes and I missed another photo opportunity! Yep, I must have been really getting into this go with the flow, no worries and just have fun! Regardless, we had a nice flight on Peter Pan. I like how all four of us can sit in one car together. It isn't a roller coaster, but this ride fascinates my little coaster engineer due to the track on the ceiling. I think Alexa was a little disappointed because she was looking forward to going trick or treating, but the rest of us were grateful because there are plenty of other things we could be doing. There is only so much time in a night! I know it’s special to be in the MK trick or treating but we can do that at home. Plus, it was nice to have some candy to munch on during the show. 
Another magical experience we were so so so very lucky to have! 
Im the one who has to worry about when our next fastpass is up, when our next ADR is, how long before the next show or parade and if we had enough time to do a certain thing before the other thing starts. Deciding if we should we leave what we are doing to get a spot for fireworks and what is the quickest way to get to where we need to go and once we get there will the line be too long etc, etc, etc. And also have to make sure I take pictures so we dont forget these memories.
