A Disney Halloween

Disney + Halloween + Costumes = A lot of FUN!

Last year, Jacinda and Evan used their free "Give a Day, Get a Day" tickets during the fall and discovered that Disney doesn't just go all out on Christmas, Halloween is a big deal, too. So, this year we all took a weekend to attend "Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party." The party is held at the Magic Kingdom after hours for ticketholders only, from about 5pm to midnight. Some extra special events include:
  • Special fireworks display, narrated by some Disney villains
  • Disney characters "in costume"
  • Trick-or-treating areas
  • Fabulous fall and Halloween decor
  • Boo-to-You Halloween Parade, where Disney villains and the undead get special attention
In addition to the fun stuff Disney provides, it is also encouraged to come to the party in costume, something we all have no problems doing! A Disney theme seemed appropriate and we decided on Peter Pan characters (which was Evan's thoughtful idea, seeing as how I love Tink!)

Peter, Tink, Tiger Lily, Smee, and Captain Hook

Being Disney characters, we got to have a little fun with our picture taking:

Hook and Peter dueling


Tink turning on the castle lights

Tiger Lily and another tribe member


Hook, Smee, and the croc


Besides having fun with our costumes, the best part of the evening was the parade. We got prime spots right next to the parade route, so it was a lot of fun when the "real" Peter Pan characters came by and the pirates on Hook's ship gave us a shout out!
