That's cool you got to go to Disney Quest. We've never been there but it sounds interesting.

Ahh I love the Epcot resorts. It is really neat being able to walk to two parks.

 

[mickeysmyboy]

All caught up!

Wow! Zaheer really did enjoy DQ!! We've never been there! I'm sure we'll be going in future with 2 DS's!

Boo to missing Fantasmic! I've never actually been myself! I missed it once because DS was really sick and another time because it was far to cold for me to sit on a cold seat and wait for the show!

 

[teekathepony]

Sounds like you enjoyed DQ a lot more than me! Hahahaha, it was not my cup of tea. Johnny spent forever in there though, lol!
Your meal looks nice! Sorry the rain spoiled your plans though!

It is interesting but I think once is enough for me!

I can see why you would love them and am looking forward to the day I am able to stay there and walk to two parks!

All caught up!

Thanks for catching up! I'm looking forward to reading your new TR and hearing all about your recent trip.

He sure did! I'm guessing you will be paying it a visit one day with your 2 DS's!

I'm glad to hear that I am not the only one that has never seen Fantasmic! Yeah, don't think I would have been too happy sat on a cold seat waiting for the show. I hope we both get to watch it one day.

It was okay but I would have rather spent the time somewhere else! What is it with that place and men? Zaheer had quite a few solo trips here as well.

I enjoyed the meal at Captain's Grille but preferred some other restaurants over this one. It's okay...just means I have another reason to return

Hi Tanz, I think I'm back. Great updates. Love your review of DQ I still think I will have to add it on next trip. Think I will go in with DH then leave him and do some shopping. Not a gamer person. Your dinner looks so good. That crab cake I could eat tonight. IllumiNations is my fav show, glad you were able to catch it more then once. Hope all is good with you.

Yay am glad you are back Lol yes adding it on your next trip so you can go shopping whilst DH spends time here sounds like a great idea! I wouldn't mind that crab cake right about now either. I'm happy that I watched Illuminations on more than one occasion...even that wasn't enough! I'm doing okay and looking forward to 2012. Hope you and your family are well and looking forward to Christmas.

I slept in today as knew we were going to have a late night at MNSSHP! I was so excited that I was going to be attending as those of you who followed my PTR know that at one point it didn't look like I would be able to go to a party on my first trip to Disney World.

Zaheer decided he wanted to return to Premium Outlets to get some jeans he had noticed on our previous trip. I took my time getting ready and then headed to Everything Pop to get some chocolate chip pancakes and coffee. The portion size was huge and I couldn't finish the pancakes - they were nice though.

I returned to our room and watched some Stacey before falling asleep. A knock at the door woke me and it was mouse keeping. The lady was very sweet and I spoke with her for quite some time whilst she gave the room a thorough going over. Once she left I watched some more television before Zaheer returned.

We got ready and headed to MNSSHP. A couple of shots at Pop before heading to MK.

On entering I kept an eye out for Stefy as we were meant to be meeting her and Dave along Main Street. However, it started to rain so we took shelter and once the rain calmed down headed to the seven dwarfs line. Sorry I didn't get to meet you on this trip Stefy - hopefully one day our paths will cross

I left Zaheer in the line and went to get some food from Peco Bills. I got a vegetable burger and fries which were okay. I also got some onion rings which were very yummy! I was very scared walking back with food as there were seagulls all over the place!

I got back in line to meet the dwarfs and saw a familiar face. I made sure it was who I thought it was before going over to say hello. It was Carey (Caretames1), her DH and her daughter Kadence. It was so nice to meet them however it was really hot that evening! I spoke with them about their trip so far and discussed what we had done during our trip. Carey's DH took a pic of the three of us on both our cameras. I realised afterwards that my camera was on the wrong setting so the photo had not been saved. I wanted to get another pic but didn't want to bother Carey and her family again so instead decided to get Carey's copy on our return. Thanks for sending this to me Carey!

It was soon time for the dwarfs to come out - I was soo excited to be meeting them!! They were a hoot - I made sure I got a hug with Dopey before going to take my place for the photo. I was laughing so much as I was stood next to Sneezy who took it upon himself to make sure he sneezed all over me!!

After the meet with the dwarfs we went to watch The Villians Show at the castle. Zaheer was only interested in the shows and was tired of the rides. I was a bit upset by this as really had wanted to ride BTMRR and HM during the party. However, decided to go with the flow seen as it did take me a while to persuade Zaheer to even attend the event! The show was delayed because of the earlier rain so I decided to head to Tommorowland to get some candy. I loved the way it was all lit up but did not have the camera to take any shots.

We took a couple of shots with the statues whilst waiting.

After 30 mins the Boo to you parade started. I loved this and although I did not get a pic of the headless horseman I did get the following photos. We also watched the Villians show and Hallowishes.

A few shots of the castle:

 

[TanzUnited99]

Hallowishes was amazing!!! This alone was worth the admission in my opinion!

A video of Hallowishes!



I had wanted to see Mickey and Minnie especially in my outfit so we headed to Town Square Theatre where the wait was 5 minutes! I expected it to be longer but wasn't complaining! The princesses on the other hand had a 35 minute wait and Zaheer wasn't prepared to get in this queue. I think the magic had worn off for him as he loved the parade and fireworks but after that was not interested in anything else. This spoilt the evening for me and in some ways I wish I hadn't booked the party and just enjoyed the fireworks from Poly as originally planned. I had so many things I had wanted to do that did not happen...meet the characters, go on some attractions and maybe attend a dance party for some fun!

Sadly none of this took place however I did enjoy meeting Mickey and Minnie. Minnie acknowledged my costume and loved it! I was so pleased that I got to meet her in my outfit.

I love these topiaries of my favourite couple

Zaheer wanted to leave at this point. I wanted to stay and he did say I could stay on my own but it was busy and I did not want to be on my own in the crowds so I decided to leave as well. We took a couple of pics with the scarecrows, got some candy and returned to Pop. Zaheer got some food on the way back to the room.

I enjoyed the party (what I saw of it anyway) and would return but only with someone who was interested in attending as well!

Coming next: More AK and breakfast at Tusker House!

 

[teekathepony]

Great party pictures! I agree, Hallo-Wishes is phenomenal. Mickey and Minnie in their costumes are so cute!! I love them <3 Too bad about Zaheer losing interest though

 

[Caretames1]

Our evenings did differ in that you had a person that wasn't really into it and we were are so excited to be there! We also had planned to do more than we did, but something came up ( sorry no spoilers, I'll update this weekend) and we didn't do it all.

We we waiting for the first Villain Mix and Mingle as well, we had planed on meeting Maliefcant but with it being delayed it never happend.

We were lucky to see the Dwarfs when we did as they had to be taken away for a while because of lightning.

It really was so nice to meet you! Kadence loved your acent and that you lived so far away across the ocean! I just wish it hadn't been so hot and muggy as that is such a horrid photo of me

Next time you visit Disney, make sure you hit a MNSSHP or MVMCP and stay till they kick you out!

 

[Pinkocto]

What a bummer Zaheer was being a party pooper! Especially since it cost so much to get in the party anyway.... I'm sorry you missed things. Loved your outfit! Mickey and Minnie's Halloween outfits were great too!

 

[amazingact21]

That's a bummer that Zaheer wasn't really interested in MNSSHP. When I went to it, I had caught a cold, so I didn't get to do much, either. Hopefully one day we'll both be able to return again and have much more fun at the party!

I'm so jealous you got to meet the Seven Drawfs! Such a great picture moment. And it's very cool that you ran into a fellow DISSer. Makes talking to one another on PTRs and TRs even better.

Even though the night didn't go as you'd planned, it's good to see you got to show off your awesome Minnie dress and see Hallowishes and the Boo To You parade.

 

[emma212010]

Great photos of MNSSHP! I'd love to go, but I'm always in school! Maybe someday! I love your Minnie outfit! They looked so cute in their Halloween outfits!! Too bad you couldn't stay longer, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

 

[IheartDDuck]

I'm glad that you enjoyed MNSSHP for the time that you were there. It's always a bummer to be with a party pooper, isn't it? I've been there before, trust me. I empathize. I am normally like you and just go with the flow.

 

[cbg1027]

Sorry Zaheer was being such a party pooper! At least you know the party is worth it if you get a chance to attend in the future.

 

[TanzUnited99]

Great party pictures! I agree, Hallo-Wishes is phenomenal. Mickey and Minnie in their costumes are so cute!! I love them <3 Too bad about Zaheer losing interest though

Thanks! Yeah, I loved Hallowishes. I love Mickey and Minnie as well...they sure are a very cute couple

It was bad that Zaheer lost interest though I probably should have guessed that would have happened from the amount of persuasion it took me to get him to attend in the first place!

Our evenings did differ in that you had a person that wasn't really into it and we were are so excited to be there! We also had planned to do more than we did, but something came up ( sorry no spoilers, I'll update this weekend) and we didn't do it all.

Next time you visit Disney, make sure you hit a MNSSHP or MVMCP and stay till they kick you out!

Haha I knew our evenings would differ when I started reading about how your day started out!! It must be great being at the party with people that really wanted to be there. Uh oh on something coming up...doesn't sound good and am looking forward to finding out what it is that stops you from doing everything you wanted to do that night.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with the delay as had wanted to meet the villians as well.

I didn't know that about the dwarfs being taken away because of lightening...in that case am very happy that we went to see them at the start of the evening.

It was very nice to meet you too. Lol at Kadence liking my accent! It was a a bit hot and muggy that evening though I disagree with your opinion on your photo...I think you look just fine

Don't worry...next time I go to a special event I'm not going to leave until I'm kicked out!

What a bummer Zaheer was being a party pooper! Especially since it cost so much to get in the party anyway.... I'm sorry you missed things. Loved your outfit! Mickey and Minnie's Halloween outfits were great too!

It was a bummer that Zaheer wasn't that in to the party but I guess we had done a lot during our trip by that point and he was tired out!!

Thanks...I loved wearing my outfit and have to agree that Mickey and Minnie looked great in their Halloween attire.

That's a bummer that Zaheer wasn't really interested in MNSSHP. When I went to it, I had caught a cold, so I didn't get to do much, either. Hopefully one day we'll both be able to return again and have much more fun at the party!

Even though the night didn't go as you'd planned, it's good to see you got to show off your awesome Minnie dress and see Hallowishes and the Boo To You parade.

It sure was a bummer especially as I had so many other things I still wanted to see/do...oh well I guess I couldn't have it all! That's a shame that you caught a cold when you went to MNSSHP We definitely both have to attend again and make up for past expereinces

I loved meeting the seven dwarfs and after hearing that they weren't out later on I'm glad we met them when we did. I loved all our DIS meets on this trip. It sure was great sharing what had happened during our trips so far and you are right in that it makes talking to one another on PTRs and TRs even better

Thanks. I still enjoyed the evening even though it didn't go as planned.

Great photos of MNSSHP! I'd love to go, but I'm always in school! Maybe someday! I love your Minnie outfit! They looked so cute in their Halloween outfits!! Too bad you couldn't stay longer, but I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks! Oh that's a bummer that the MNSSHP is on during school times They should allow for time off from school for important events such as this! You can tell I have my priorities straight!

I hope you get to go someday as it is definitely worth attending! I loved being able to wear my outfit and Mickey and Minnie were adorable that night That was bad but I still had fun!

I'm glad that you enjoyed MNSSHP for the time that you were there. It's always a bummer to be with a party pooper, isn't it? I've been there before, trust me. I empathize. I am normally like you and just go with the flow.

Thanks...I'm glad I still got to go but just wish it had been with someone who was into the party and not a party pooper! Oh well maybe next time...

Yeah, I just tend to go with the flow as well. We still had a few more days to go so didn't want to cause any bad feelings for the remainder of the trip

Sorry Zaheer was being such a party pooper! At least you know the party is worth it if you get a chance to attend in the future.

Thanks! I would love to attend again preferably with someone who would want to stay until the end of the party! I still had fun though so the evening wasn't completely ruined.

 

[KatMark]

Sorry Zaheer was such a party pooper at the MNSSHP. You got some great photos of the parade and the castle. I like the photo of you with Mickey & Minnie.

Although Mark and I have enjoyed the MNSSHP the two times we've gone, we won't be going back for a long while -- way too crowded and you can't get enough done because you have to wait so long for things.

 

[Nermel9]

I love your Minnie outfit, so cute!

Glad you enjoyed the party, most of it anyway! That's too bad that Zaheer pretty much made you leave, I mean, it would be one thing if it wasn't something that you had to pay extra for, but he couldn't just suck it up and deal with it? Ugh.

Great pics of the parade! I really liked MNSSHP, but like Kathy said, Brandon and I probably won't be going back for a while, too crowded and the lines for the characters are too long. I'd rather spend that money on a nice, signature restaurant!

 

[momabbate]

First I want to say u looked so cute in your dress. I'm glad you were able to get it. Thanks for video of hallowishes, makes me wish we would have attended. Sorry the night wasn't how you planned. I understand him being tired. I got that way towards end of our trip. I think when I do attend will do it first couple days of trip.

 

[Tinkermom76]

I'm sorry you didn't get to see more of the party, it sucks when you want to do something so bad but the person you are with doesn't. Tracy and I tried to make sure we knew what was really important to each other on our trip
