Ok, so we went to the bus stop at POR, and we waited maybe two minutes for it to get there, and we were on our way to the Magic Kingdom...with Snow White in tow. While we were at the bus stop, I saw a about 307 pirates, everybody was a pirate! Mike and I didn't dress up, we just wore Nightmare Before Christmas shirts, I wanted him to be Peter Pan, and I would have been Tigerlilly, and India has a Tinkerbell dress, but Mike wasn't happy about the idea of wearing tights
, oh well.
We were really excited for this party, we have done P&PP, and
MVMCP, so we wanted to see what the Halloween party had to offer. We had made plans to meet my parents at the front gate at 7:00, we got to MK at about 6:50, and by chance (and luck) ran right into them. We got our treat bags and our maps, and headed in. Mike, India and I were starving, we hadn't eaten since the drive to the airport, except for some sacks I packed in the bag, and we wanted to eat first thing. Neither of my parents had ever been to a party, so my Dad was itching to do everything he could, he was on a quest for candy!!! We grabbed a quick bite to eat at Casey's, and made our way to ride Pirates, my parents hadn't been on it since Captain Jack was added, so that was a must. Next we started scoping out candy stations, Mike, my Mom and I hung back while my Dad (who is 57 by the way) and India RAN to the candy stations to collect their treats. Next we rode the Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder, collecting candy all the while.
While we were over by the Haunted Mansion, India spotted Cindy's Coach for a photo op, and she insisted we stop, the first parade was just getting started, so my Mom, Dad, and Mike sat down for that while I stood with her (I knew it was going to take awhile).
So after that was settled, we made our way to everyone else, and listened to my Dad go on for an hour about The Headless Horseman, and how BIG his horse was....We decided to go do Space Mountain, and once we were finished with that made our way to the Villains show, and the fireworks.
We decided to head over to Fantasyland and went on Peter Pan, and Small World.
And then India said the dreaded words, "I want to go on the teacups"....ugh. Don't get me wrong, I like the teacups...if I'm with someone who isn't a crazy spinner, I just can't hang, and India is a crazy spinner. Well Mike REFUSES to go on them, and so do my Mom and Dad, so I say I'll go if she doesn't spin, boy was that a bad idea...so after almost losing my dinner, Mike spotted Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and as India was dressed as Snow White, it was kind of a must to get a picture with her. Now we weren't sure of where she was going to be stationed, so Mike and India just followed them, and they were BOOKING it, I was running after them too, but my stomach wasn't feeling so hot, so I was behind them. When we finally stopped I was happy to get in line and wait for a few minutes, and Snow White was so sweet and kind to India, she is incredibly shy, and she was so good with her.
So then we went to find seats for the second parade, we were sad because Uncle Jack had the night off, and usually we get to see him in the parade at other parties, but not this time, we still enjoyed it though, and we watched the Villains show again, this time we stuck around to meet them, India was afraid of certain ones, so we only met a handful of them, but it was still fun. The Queen Of Hearts was hilarious, after India had her picture with her, she came walking over to us, SHOVED my Mom out of the way and stuck her hand in my Dad's face to kiss, he did, and he thought he was the coolest thing ever, I am just sorry I didn't get a picture of it
By this point we had gone on all of the rides we wanted to, we had four full bags of candy, and it was 11:50, so we headed for the buses back to the resort, the next day was our wedding day!
We got back to the hotel, India took a bath, and I had three voicemails, from Ana, Randy, and the dog-sitter, it was too late to call anyone at that point, so I crawled into bed, happy knowing I would get to sleep in!!!
