I just love all the PP photos, so cute, especially the Haunted Mansion ones
(Well, the adults too 
)
Meaning Fantasyland. Clearly, that's not right to me, as the Kingdom is the whole park! But somebody said that! Great updates! I keep thinking of where we were when you were where-ever. Like, we both started in Tommorowland, but we started w/Carousel and Buzz while you guys were doing Stitch and TTA. And then we were on the TTA and Space- I wonder if our boys crossed paths?!
And we caught the 1st parade from Pecos Bills (great viewing spot, btw) and the fireworks from Liberty Square on our way to HM. LOL.
And now I'm scanning the background of all my pics looking for you and Nichole's families! LOL! 
)
, your family is beautiful too! Great pictures! I love the ones of the kids in their costumes. They look adorable! I only really saw Emily since Katie was asleep and Michael was riding something else. It's funny seems like we did all the stuff as you that night. We ate, went to toontown to trick or treat and rode the teacups. Then we watched the parade from Main St, which wasn't even packed 15 minutes before parade. I should have called you but wasn't even sure if you were watching 1st or 2nd parade.
Thanks Sara
I know - I'm kicking myself for not giving you a call later in the evening to try and meet up! Ugh. I keep scanning my pics to see if I see any of your crew in the background! I love the pictures of Emily on the teacups. She is so cute! (Got a bit of mischief in her eye..) So far it looks like you picked the right things to do and really enjoyed the party. Great updates. I really want to get back to the Halloween party. I can't wait to read more.
Yes, she does have a little bit of mischief in her! Gets it from Shawn! 
We really did love the party! I'm hoping to get more up soon - maybe in a few minutes! 
WHAT? Are you kidding me? I was shocked! The line was all the way down to the entrance (in hindsight I don't think they had all the sections up top open) but I wasn't willing to chance that!
The scary thing is, literally RIGHT BEFORE he was in front of us (like I could hear his gallop - he was that close) a lady darted across the street! The CM near me almost had a heart attack! Not real bright, lady! 
. I'm going to try your spot in May since it wasn't crowded. I can't believe someone would cross the street just before Headless Horseman came up the road. The CM's were going crazy making sure everyone's feet were out of the road. Love your parade pictures. I know - when I first looked at that picture I thought "was he being funny, taking Katie's tiara and putting it on?" 
LOVED this update Sara! I could just hear the music in the background as I looked at all your great pictures of the fireworks and parade. You got some great shots - I can never get decent pictures of fireworks or parade.
Crystal Palace looks like a great spot to veiw the fireworks - don't see anyone else there!
Love the gravediggers - very very cool!
Thanks for a great start to my morning! Now I'll be humming those MNSSHP songs in my head all day!
That "boo to you" song can really get stuck in your head, can't it? Shawn was disappointed in his pictures - he was kicking himself for at least not bringing his little tripod, but I think he got some great ones! CP was a great spot for MNSSHP fireworks! I was worred a little by being off to the side from the castle, but I didn't find that the view was obstructed at all, and I will sacrifice it anyway to be out of shoulder to shoulder people - especially with kids! We had so much room, we just all were able to spread out and watch! 
Great fireworks pictures. Well now I know were I should have been watching from. It was so packed close to the castle and rude pople kept standing up and walking in the way
Always worth it in the end, of course! Your photos are great and it does look a bit like your DS is wearing the tiara
Sara
I have pictures of the witch flying out of the castle from our MNSSHP in 2004. Maybe she didn't fly that night because of the weather?
Man I hate those glowing carts too! We would go to the Disney store before our trip and let them pick out a light up "thing" and we took it with us. We also bought alot of the dollar store glow sticks. They were lit up like Christmas trees. And I'm talking just last year, not when they were little!
Malificent used to give me nightmares when I was little and your picture reminds me why.
I hope you get to ride BTMR . It's my favorite at night!
I searched and searched beforehand to try and see if anyone would talk about it and never could find anything about it. 
) I can’t remember Shawn and my step-dad on this ride. Which is weird. So I asked Shawn if he and Pop Pop rode Thunder with us at the party. You know what he said? (This is why he doesn’t write trip reports) He said…"I think we were running over to Buzz to get fastpasses or something"! LOL! 
He completely blanketed himself with his poncho! 
The girl knows what she’s doing – taking those naps at Disney! Her legs were tired though, so I offered to give her a piggy back.
