The party sounds amazing! I'm glad y'all had such an awesome time! The Mickey meet and greet sounds like it was adorable. I probably would've been confused too! Like, why are we bouncing? Hahaha.
The party WAS amazing! It was so much better than I could have expected, and I was so happy that all the things I spent so much time stressing myself out over didn't happen.
Considering it was several hours past his bedtime and Mickey was asking him to bounce around, I'm sure he was confused!
Great dance party pics, love the video of Sulley dancing
Good idea taking a break on the Peoplemover
DS looks so cute even when he's scared!
Yay for the Mickey popcorn bucket!!
Aww Talking Mickey!! Great video and pics.
I'm so glad MNSSHP worked out so perfectly for you all and that you had such a fantastic time
It was pretty hilarious seeing a gigantic blue furry monster getting down like that at the dance party.
The Peoplemover was an excellent choice for letting my feet rest a bit.
Talking Mickey was great, despite the confusion over the bouncing and such. lol
Thanks! The party was a hundred times better than I could have dreamed!
So glad you guys had a good time at the party. It almost makes me want to go again...almost.
Again, what a bummer that y'all didn't have a great party experience. I hope if you ever do decide to give it another try that it's an awesome experience!!
I do like the concept of a Monster's Inc Dance Party, just for something a little different. Boo is seriously one of the best characters to see. She just looks so comical and cute.
See, as much as I enjoy the Christmas Party, and the characters are adorable in their outfits, they're pretty much all the same... scarves. The Halloween Party has it all over that with the awesome variety of costumes.
TALKING MICKEY!!!!!! That just still blows my mind even now.
So glad you enjoyed the Party so much. It really is fantastic. As long as you stay reasonable, you can get a ton done. That's it, I need to go back this year!!
Yeah, I liked that the Tomorrowland dance party in particular brings out a lot of the characters from the movies that you can't see anywhere else and never could. I'm very glad we went with that one instead of my plan for doing the Frontierland party! Boo is PRECIOUS!! I just love her!
Yes, I know exactly what you mean! When we went to the
MVMCP a couple of years ago, I had zero interest in meeting any of the characters for exactly that reason. The only one that did seem to have a truly party specific outfit was Belle in her red dress at the time, and that didn't interest me at all since I never used to meet face characters before Paxton came along.
I know, it was pretty incredible! I didn't think they would have him out at the Halloween party since he usually meets in his costume and they were still only having him out randomly at that point.
I so wish we were going back this year!! Is it bad that Paxton doesn't even start school until fall of 2015, but I'm already looking at the policies for taking him out of school for vacation at the places we are thinking of sending him? I definitely want to go back in late October next year and go to another party!
What a wonderful party!! Makes me want to try it out with Aria!
Your comment about walking barefoot reminded me of our trip to Montreal in 2011 (I was pregnant at the time) and I wore super uncomfortable shoes and walked about a mile in them. We went with DH's boss bc it was a work trip for DH that I just tagged along on...and I ended up walking back to the hotel barefoot through the city at midnight. Made such a great impression I am sure! But oh man I couldn't walk another moment in them!
Anyway, I laughed out loud at Paxton's Mickey meet and not wanting to bounce with him! I could see Aria doing the same exact thing! too funny
It was SO great! I had to get past my hangup of keeping Paxton up late, but once I did, I think that helped me have a great time!
Oh goodness, I can about imagine!! Mine were uncomfortable enough without toting around baby weight.
I'm sure people thought I was gross walking up the monorail ramp barefoot, but I was nearly in tears at that point, they were SO uncomfortable! As much as the thought grossed even me out, it was better than walking in them anymore!
It was kind of funny to watch, but so cute when Mickey gave that little shrug.
I still laugh when I watch it! Hopefully on our May trip he will be more talkative and engaging with Mickey when we go see him.
Great update! When we were there a few years ago, the Dance Party was just Goofy and Stitch I believe. That's cool they turned it into a Monsters Inc one.
We just did the talking Mickey m&g a few weeks ago, and Mickey told my nephews he had just been spinning on the teacups, and would they spin with him. So they all went spinning around.
I wondered what other things he might say, so that's cool he does the Tigger hopping one, too.
It was really cool to see all of the different Monsters Inc. characters that have never been out for meet & greet. Especially Boo & George Sanderson with the sock on his back!
Aww, that's so cute! It's so fun reading everyone's experiences and seeing all of the different things Mickey can talk to you about. Maybe Paxton will respond better to spinning in the teacups than he did to hopping like Tigger!
Loved all your updates and photos of MNSSHP - I'm so glad you enjoyed it, I loved it when we went a couple of years ago!

Thanks, Emma! It's SUCH a great party, I can't wait to do it again someday!
I love that Boo was out in her costume! So precious.
I also love Donald and Daisy's costumes, but not sure I would wait too long for them.
That is so awesome you got to meet Talking Mickey, but I can see how it would be confusing for DS. You meet all these silent characters and then Mickey starts chatting.
So glad you had a great MNSSHP experience! I've been dying to do one, but with school right now it's not really feasible...maybe for 2015
Boo is absolutely adorable, and it was so cool getting to see her out and dancing! Never thought I'd see that.
Yeah, it was cute seeing some of the characters in their costumes, but not worth really long waits for them since you can meet them other times in their normal outfits.
I bet talking Mickey is confusing for a lot of kids, being that all of the other ones don't talk! Heck, even Mickey doesn't talk when you meet him in other parks. Luckily, Paxton hasn't asked yet so I haven't had to come up with a quick answer for why.
Hopefully you AND I can get to a party in 2015! That's definitely what I'm hoping for. I know I shouldn't really complain since we're going to Italy and all
but I am pretty bummed to be missing MNSSHP this year. I am keeping my fingers crossed we are able to take a trip next October and go back to one! Hopefully you'll be able to get to one too.
Disappointing. She also likes playing all the trivia games. What's funny is she plays them so many times that they repeat the questions, but she still ends up getting the answers wrong!
