Aww, A girl after my own heart. Belle is my absolute FAVORITE. I love Beauty and the Beast. I think I could watch it every day!

Sounds like all your kids are Disney fans. That's a treat! Both my kids love Disney it's my grumpy husband but I think he's more annoyed with me talking about it than anything.. haha.

I love that Jordan likes the older Disney movies... Those are such classics! And that's so sweet that he cries!

So, what about you MOM? Who are your fave characters and what are you looking forward to other than watching your kiddos have a good time and Amanda getting to celebrate Halloween?

Love the How to Train Your Dragon photos.. I've actually never seen that movie. Guess I need to check it out.

joining in....Amanda is an amazing young lady you have a wonderful family, GKTW is terrific, we visited friends who were staying there for their daughter's MAW trip in October!
MNSSHP is fun, just take it in stride, there is SO much to do and see, so pick your top fav's and get them done right away, then do whatever else you can get in!

so happy her latest tests came back with no reoccurance of her disease!

 

[connie005]

Today was the first day of school for Amanda and Tommy

they didn't like it but i did

so i have a question
i have been thinking of disney almost everyday day now wondering what to pack what to see first but i never thought of eating.

i was looking at restaurants near GKTW and saw medievil times and also a pirate themed restaurant. i found them really cool and thought maybe doing one of them the day we arrive.

now my question is -- did anyone try those restaurants and was it worth it?

i have seen that lots of parents did character meals and stuff. but since i did not book one i wanted to do those restaurants instead cause i don't think we need reservations.

what i was really looking for is a great bbq place our family loves chicken and ribs any suggestions?

Joining in! What a strong, amazing girl you have there! How is she doing entering her teen years? Is she into music and shopping, or a reader, or ? What does she like to do to distract her from her illness?

So happy to hear about her latest test results!!

Hi thanks for joining in

well she was diagnosed when she was 12 so her first year of high school she only did 2 months.

her friends came over to keep her company.

she loves taking pictures and scrapbooking. the hospital gave her a scrapbook to pass the time during chemo.she also loves music any kind. and now she is into making bracelets.
at the hospital she would make pictures and paper flowers to decorate the chemo floor

Thank you mommy2mrb

yes it was very crowded, was a sold out night...it also was raining off and on which really messed up a lot of things...we tried to make the best of it, but ended up leaving around 1030 due to being wet and tired...

as far as the candy bags....that would depend on if you do hit all the stations, the CM's only give out a couple pieces, so it doesn't fill up too quickly...everyone in your party will get a bag, so that would be LOTs of candy...you could bring some ziploc bags to stash your overflow and carry that way.

my best advice, get there at the 4:00 (they let you in early with your tickets) and get some of the rides out of the way...at 7pm when the party starts have a good game plan of the top things you want to get done...remember the characters will be in different outfits and you will only get to see some of them during the party - seven dwarfs and the villians....the parade is great, get to a spot early for the best view!

 

[ToddyLu]

I agree with Mommy. Some nights are crowded and hot. So kids do not need to wear a heavy costume if they are in to that. Tere will also be special merchandise -pins and t-shirts that you can only get during the party and only in select locations.

I have two fav memories from MNSSHP. A little boy about 5 dressed in Batman costume got in front of me on BTMR. He had the pointy ears with the Batman hood. After the first hill those ears bent back and stayed that way through the whole ride---hysterical.

Another is --we were waiting in the hub for the parade to begin. A guy is dressed like Darth Maul---very realistic makeup and walking slowly around looking at people (awesome costume)....then he sees a young woman dressed like a Jedi....they procede to have an impromptu light saber fight with everyone in awe---is it real, part of the parade---nope, just two Star Wars freaks having a great time (I say freaks lovingly). Everyone clapped afterwards and then they went their separate ways. The girl hanging around to wait on the parade.

It is a special evening that everyone should do at least once.

Hi! Just found your Pre-trip report. We have been to the Halloween Party twice and we loved it.

Last time we went was in October 2011. The parade and Fireworks that night are really special. It is fun to ride a few rides but don't miss the parade and fireworks.

This is how we do the Halloween Party.

Arrive at 4:00
Ride a couple rides, and then eat some dinner at a Counter Service Restaurant.
Start visiting the candy stations.

About a half an hour before the first showing of Hallowishes find a good place to view it. We like to watch it from one of the walkways leading to AdventureLand, near the Crystal Palace restaurant.

Then after we watch Hallowishes we walk to Frontierland and find a good place for the Boo to you Parade. Near the Country Bear Jamboree or Pecos Bill restaurant is great. After the parade we visit Haunted Mansion, and then Fantasyland, and finally Tomorrowland. We stop at the trick or treat stations as we get to them.

Our first Halloween Party was on Oct. 31 2010, we dressed as a family of pirates and we had a great time. It was really crowded but we had so much fun! Riding Pirates of the Caribbean dressed up as pirates is really fun~

I hope you have a great time on your trip~
