So we thought and thought and went to that great website my friend Dawn gave me. We tossed a few ideas around and a few cocktails down (just for that childlike imagination to kick in) and we came up with something that is totally and completely original. We will be the Mad Hatter’s Hillbilly Cousins.
“Umm… Ok….” Is what your mind is probably screaming right now. But it seemed like an incredibly great and yet still Disney thing to do. There are a few advantages to this outfit. It will fit easily into a carry bag to take with us to change into right before getting to the MK for MNSSHP. We won’t be too hot or have our vision complicated at all. We can still ride rides easily enough. And… Last but not least, we can remove it very easily if we find that you all have been teasing us about adults dressing up. So here is our basic costume. Yes, we found 4 of these. We will fight over teeth, who gets which ones. The only thing we do not have yet is the orangish t-shirts. We want our spots to pop out. Like we won’t be obvious anyway right? We plan to wear our orangish tees to the Aloha Spirit and just look like a normal matching t-shirt Disney family.
Now let me bore you with a little background music talk. We had planned to do this trip and then a couple of friends of ours Teewee and CP said they had to do Disney with us.
So we all booked and got the ADR’s planned and all the activities according to what everyone wanted. Not an easy job I must say. Those of you that plan these huge gatherings, my hat is off to you! Kudos!
It wasn’t long after that when my nephews that went on the cruise with us and also were with me all those years when I lived in Florida and made weekend World trips twice a month, said they wanted to come at least for my son’s birthday. So they would come for MNSSHP. So we had ideas as we wanted a group costume party. We actually loved the Alice in Wonderland theme or we were thinking along the lines of Snow White and the 7 dwarfs (making one of the boys snow white of course) or the Wizard of Oz.
Then my aunt and uncle who live in Florida said they would come down for the Halloween party as well. So we went from 4 to 6 to 8 to 10. Then CP & Teewee’s son said he would come from college as well. 11 now. So what happened you might ask… or not, but you know I am going to tell you anyway so play along now.
Teewee and CP decided to make life choices that would involve surgeries.
One of them will still be in recovery and so this made the trip not work for them. So of course, their son won’t be there as well. 
Back down to 8. Then one nephew went to Africa over the summer and money was tight so he and his brother decided not to come. 6. Then my aunt’s mother in law passed and her father in law is not well so they cancelled. Back to 4 of us.
So of course we were sad to lose our great group of followers, (playing Pied Piper flute music in my head now), but we vowed to do a great trip report so they could all follow along like they were with us.
I almost forgot, there was a purpose to you needing to know all of that information.
Some of the above groups are not Dis familiars. I know, shock! 
How could they not be, right? So they had internet predator’s phobia (IPP). So for those adult guests who thought that their boss might find them smiling or that someone on the Dis would want to stalk them and what? Steal their Disney souvenirs’? To keep everyone happy AND to do a trip report, we did what any IPP supporter would do… we created a mascot. And because we fell so in love with him, and in case anyone decided to join us last minute and change all of our plans once again, we kept him.

I'm sure you'll have a lot of admirers. I can't wait to see pics from your trip.
It is just the Disney experience that makes it so great. And one day I am going to go for Thanksgiving or Christmas now that the kids are older.
I think that would be so cool. Illuminations is my favorite show. Did you know that the Glode won't be there, it's in for refurbishment, although its due back out by maybe the start of the Wine & Food Festival. My DH was telling me this. I'm not real sure of all the details.
