Finally, in the MNSSHP.

Mickey.



He talked and did a card trick. Jack Skellington really gained weight. The camera adds 100 pounds.



Castle shot.



Columbia Harbour House dinner upstairs.



I like the clam chowder.

More from CHH. Captain Devil Dancer.



Younger DD, "My dress reflecting off the wall".
Me, "She's farting fire!"



DW face-palm.
Both dds laugh.
Conclusion: I'm a great dad to be teaching social graces to my daughters.

Thanks. It is way crowded. Maybe it is a weekend thing. Maybe it was from the race event. Either way, I'm crossing Sunday MNSSHP off the plan.

I've worn that shirt now for several MNSSHP. Classic Team Sparrow effort.

After a couple rounds of candy, some pictures at the Haunted Mansion.



and



Went to 7DMT, but the line was posted at 60 minutes. So, we went to ride Winnie the Pooh. Not sure about their prop selection here.

 

[AirGoofy]

Then, back to 7DMT. The line is 20 minutes and staggered because of all the activities in the queue. Then, the loud speaker announcement reminding everyone to move forward. Huh? Build the queue and then announce to ignore it? Not gonna happen.

Went here for the candy corn ice cream. Figured I would get a picture to remind myself where it was, since only a few places serve the special flavors during the MNSSHP.



And the ice cream.



Not really all that impressed. It tasted mostly like vanilla, and the candy corn was a few pieces in the cone. I was expecting something with candy corn pieces inside it.

 

[AirGoofy]

It was around 8:30 PM. I really wanted to ride Space Mountain since it is my favorite ride at MK.



Then, we decide to get a seat for Hallowishes. Normally, we sit on the seats at the Tomorrowland bridge. We followed into the hub. It was more crowded than usual, but we had not been inside ther before. The castle back drop for the fireworks was cool.



We moved to get a better view and seats for the parade. Unfortunately, EVERYONE else in the theme park decided to do the same as well. All our usual spots were gone. We did manage to get the stairs in front of LTT. They were not the most comfortable, but it was nice to be able to sit for 30 minutes. The headless horseman is still really cool.

Captain Jack Sparrow.



The parade was in a different order than usual, with the villains bringing up the rear.

 

[AirGoofy]

We were all really tired. So, we decided to go shopping at the Emporium and call it a night.



I managed to get a MNSSHP collector pin - Maleficient called to me.

We certainly didn't accomplish as many rides as we normally do with our commando style touring. It was just really crowded for the first 3 hours; and after the MNSSHP started, it just reminded crowded. Jim speculated that the extra crowds may be from the runDisney event. I guess my takeaway is to not do a MNSSHP on the weekends. We had decided in the past, with our October trips, to avoid MK & Epcot on the weekends to manage the crowds from locals and F&W.

Happy Magical Monday Morning. I don't say those words very often, but at WDW, it definitely is. All the family is still sleeping. We have a low key day planned. I think I'll soak my back and knee in the hot tub this AM. This evening, we have ADR at Kona and then will watch Wishes from TOTWL.

That's why you looked so good.

Have a great day soaking in the hot tub.

Family still sleeping. After two cups of coffee on the balcony, I did my morning stretches here.



A nice picture to start the day - of the scenery, not me stretching.

That's why you looked so good.

Have a great day soaking in the hot tub.

I thought you said scary.

 

[AirGoofy]

Soaking at the hot tub.



DW bought Maleficent apple at MNSSHP.

After three undefeated games of foosball at the community hall, rotating family members, it is time for lunch at the Boardwalk.

I also played some Mrs Pacman, Galaga, and a game of air hockey.

After a fun day of swimming and pool games, it is time to get cleaned up and go to Kona Cafe for dinner.

A picture of the ride in the lobby.



A Boardwalk resort pin to commemorate the stay.



Walking to DHS to catch a bus to the Poly.
