I started multiquoting your last update, but there were just too many things! You really had an awesome night at the party despite the rough start. It seems like you really lucked out on the lines to see characters and getting a great spot for the parade!
I am so glad we ended up staying for the party. I would say it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
The CM's all seem like they were on their A game that evening. All the way from the dancers to the characters in the parade to the CM's at the monorail.

The CM's were amazing that night!! Oh - two other interactions I forgot:
1. The CM at Cosmic Ray's who was gathering our food - announced to everyone behind the counter that the Captain was there for his food.
2. In the dump shop after Pirates, a CM stopped me to ask if I could tell him a bedtime story.

My response was "Oh no! It's much too late for that tonight."
I'm glad that eveything kind of came together for you in the end and you were able to stay so late and enjoy the party.
Thanks! I was really surprised that we ended up shutting down the party.
I need to start looking into this dance party thing. I wonder if they do it before the
MVMCP parade too? I know DS would love it, but we might never get him to stay in one place for the parade after he gets up and starts dancing.
I haven't heard yet if they're doing it or not for the Christmas party parade. I hope they do it for your DS! All of the kids had so much fun dancing!
What a wonderful conclusion to your
MNSSHP night! You guys pretty much did everything!
It really ended up being a great night! That was definitely one of the best nights of our trip!
I forgot that they did that dance party, and we missed it because we watched from Liberty square. It looks like lots of fun, Reid was really cute out there dancing!
Thanks! It was really fun for the kids and helped the time to pass quickly before the parade.
You guys are such troopers staying until the very end! I'm looking forward to the next few years when we can push bedtime back that far and really enjoy late nights at WDW.
Yeah, a couple of years ago Reid couldn't even stay awake for the fireworks at MVMCP. You'll see a difference with Everett in just a year. But, then you'll have the baby. But, hopefully, he'll just sleep in the stroller and y'all can stay out later.
Im glad the rain finally let up and you really enjoyed your party. I love your costumes and MNSSHP in general. The parade is the best and reid was getting down with the dancers I see!
Thanks! That parade is awesome! Reid loves to get down pretty much anywhere.

But, he really had a great time dancing with them.
Reid is too cute "Don't hurt my mommy". Seriously, how cute is that?
I thought it was really sweet of him and melted my heart.
You got some great PP pictures and Reid looks like he is having the time of his life. He is literally smiling from ear to ear.
Thanks! We all had such a great time at the party. It was so much fun!
Too funny about Wendy's comment during the parade.

What an awesome time you guys had at the party.
The character interaction during the whole night was just....magical! I mean, it really was! And it helped make the party even more fun than it already was.
