So after I had tucked in our sleeping boys, I took a little time to begin packing, and planned to finish the job in the morning. In the morning, everyone helped to get the luggage packed, and we all trouped over to the Custom House to check out, and we did our airline check in as well. The boys were again in their halloween Tshirts -- they were the cleanest

and I figured they should wear them as much as they could. Then we headed over to the MK. We ate breakfast at the Contempo Café in the Contemporary, DH and I had the breakfast burritos, and the boys had french toast. Then we went to the park. We were there until lunch time, again just enjoying the rides we wanted to get in one last time, I got some photo pass pics and the boys ate lunch at Caseys. Here are some of the pics I took... DSs are just hamming it up, and having fun, taking in the "show" at the foot of the castle, enjoying PUSH the trash can, Goofy's barnstormer -- DON'T ask me WHY!!?? and the shooting range in frontierland. We then exited the park and headed to EPCOT!
We then made our way over to Epcot so I could meet up with Christine, Jen, and Paula, for my first ever DIS meet! I know, I know, I am easily excited!

We all met outside of America, and DH went to get Lobster rolls, while I chatted. We visited a little longer, and said our good byes...
but not without a great photo!
We made our way to the airport, car rental return, etc. The trip home was thankfully uneventful, and we counted this short but fun trip among our favorite family getaways this year.
My only regret this trip was that the boys didnt see all of the parade at the
MNSSHP, and next time if we go to the party, I know we will go all together, b/c while I was fine with both boys alone, it would have been nice to get more photos in
and take more time with the lines for candy, etc. so having DH would have been helpful. I am terrible at stopping for photpass pics! BUT at Christmas I am going to make a real effort to get more in. I also would have liked to spend more time at the F & W festival, which we could have done if we had maybe one more day for, but regardless, we got to do some fun things all around, and visiting AK and DHS for a half day each worked well given the length of our trip. When we go back at Christmas we will go see the shows again, since it will have been longer since the last time we saw them
This trip we opted again for the basic dining plan. We are happy we did, and ended up using our TS meals for Le Cellier, Chef Mickeys, Sanaa, and Tokyo Dining. We used our QS meals mostly in the park, once at Old Port Royale, and once at WPE. The highlight, though, of using the dining plan in the fall is using snack credits at the F & W festival!!! Most of the offerings at the festival easily run over $4.50 a serving, so if you save your snack credits for the festival, you end up with a good deal for sure. We paid OOP for kid snacks, but we certainly spent less in the long run by saving the credit s for the adult snacking!!!
I will be back to post the photos of my goodies and the purchases I made

well hope everyone enjoyed my summary about our Hallow-wishes trip Though we have been in the fall many times, this trip was a first for us, in that we had never been to the MNSSHP, and it is certainly an event at Disney I wont want to miss whenever it may be that we go back again in the fall
It really is a great time to go

The F & W festival is my top reason to go to Disney!!!
More photos on the way, and then off to plan
CHRISTMAS 09!!!!
