Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party.

I went to mickey’s not so scary Halloween party last night and it was 100 % amazing!! It is the most fun I have had at the parks since I have been here (well minus the time my family came up)
I dressed up as Hannah Montana (yeah I had the wig and everything) I can also say with a lot of confidence that I was the only adult dressed up as Hannah Montana.
It was amazing b/c whole families dressed up (children, adults…everyone). My favorite family was one where the gma was dressed up like the fairy god mother, the mom as Cinderella, the father as prince charming, and the daughter as a miniature version of Cinderella… it was very cute.

We got to meet a lot of different characters which was AMAXZING.

The best characters were snow white and all 7 dwarfs. I made my friends wait 30 minutes to meet them and we were the first in line to see them.
It was a little disappointing b/c they only allowed us to take a group photo (me + the other two people I was with) and I’m pretty sure the picture came out blurry… but it is still sooo very cool.

I also got TONS of candy!
And they had free face painting!

I concluded at the end of the night that it was worth the 41 dollars (with my cast discount) and I would totally let my future children go. (even though I think it is only fair that my children should have to wait until they are 21 before they get to go to Disney world.. but I will make an expectation for this event).

I went with two people I work with Jenny and Jeremy. I don’t have many picture either b/c my camera is horrible at taking night photos so we took the majority of the pictures with Jenny camera… and I will post those pics when I get them.

me as hannah and my firends jenny

when we were waiting for the parade they sang to us. (the one with the thing stuck in his head reminded me of dad)
there were a lot of photos like this (jenny and jeremy in the back ground.. he was a harry potter character)
Halloween fire works
free face painting
very funny..
lots of families dressed up like each other.. it was very cool

tired

so last night i worked from 10 om to 6:30 (actually i got an ER so i left at 6:00). it was this whole new experience.

we had to re arrange our store to make room for Halloween merchandise and put up a whole bunch of new product.

i gt on the bus at 6:15 to come back home (before the sun was out) and i was the only person at the hstud stop and after they stopped at pop century i was the only person on the bus... which was nice bc i was able to lay down. by the time i got home the sun was up and i was VERY TIRED.

When i got home i went to bed right away and woke up at 11. and was really confused about life bc i could tell i was tired but i couldn't remember why.... very confusing.

anyway now i have got my 8 hours of sleep and is very excited to hang out with kassie!! (be jealous)

mickey's not so scary halloween party

so a couple of weeks ago (i know i realize i am late with this post) they had a rehearsal for the parade that is going to be used for the mickey's not so scary Halloween event and only cast members were allowed to go to this rehearsal.

so mickey not so scary Halloween is an event they have twice a week at magic kingdom were the park closes at 7 and if you want to stay later you have to buy an extra ticket to get into the park.

they have trick-r-treating, people can dress up, a whole bunch of characters dressed up (aka mickey as a pirate of something), it is kind of like Halloween but with a disney twist.

so one Wednesday night they had a rehearsal for the parade and the headless horsemen going down main street. they asked cast members to come and view the event bc they wanted to record it and use it as advertisement.
this is the first time that i actual felt like i was getting something special from being a cast member and the first time i realized how many cast members disney actual had.

i didn't realize this event was going to take place until after i was already at magic kingdom watching the fire works (that is why there will be no photos). but they had us all go to ToonTown after the parked closed and wait for the guest to clear out.

at about 12 they let us all go to main street and it was so cool to see bc when we were walking to toontown there was nobody on main street (which was very eerie.. seeing the castle and no one in front of it) and now there were 100's of grown adults being just as excited as little kids.

so we waited for about 20 minutes and finally they had the headless horsemen come out.. which was really cool. it was one of those things were he was only out for like a second and if you blinked you missed it (which is very not like disney at all)

and then we waited for about another 20 minutes and they started the parade. which was the coolest parade i have ever seen. they had floats devoted to the haunted mansion with dancing ghost, one devoted to the pirate of the Caribbean ride, one devoted to disney villains, and they started out the parade with snow white (... which of course i love)
they just had a whole bunch or random semi-scary characters do really cool dances.
so i believe that when it comes to parades the themed parades are the best. :)

and if any of you were going to come to disney world and had money to spend on a ticket i would do it. i am pretty sure me and some of my friends are going to spend money and go one night... and i have already seen the parade.
(i think i really just want a reason to dress up like a character.. right now i am debating between hannah Montana and snow white)

if i was great a blogging i would give you a link to the parade on you tube (but since my Internet is slow and impossible to load any kind of online video) that is not going to happen. i could give you a random link to one that i think may be okay but i will never know what the quality of it would look like.

so here ia a random youtube video of the cast preview (that you were to take videos at) it shows the villain part of the parade. (and you can see how crazy the cast members sound)



so here as a random link i found that seems to have photos and a better description of the events
