Disney runs a little special during October, and that is their Not So Scary Halloween Party where you purchase an extra ticket for the evening, come in costume, and trick-or-treat and ride rides late into the night.
We knew we wanted to see the fire works with the kids one night, and we also knew that Magic Kingdom was going to be the place where we spent the most time. So after a lot of thought, we decided to pay for the extra tickets.
The day of we just took it easy, knowing we'd be up a little later that night. We headed over to the park, costumed and ready to go about 5:00. They had fireworks planned at 9, and although the park stayed open until midnight, we knew that we'd most likely watch the fireworks and call it a night.
Man, were we wrong! The kids had an absolute BLAST! We did plenty of rides, and took our time trick or treating at the stations. The places were marked with a big white light and they would literally put handfuls of candy into your bag. It was insane.
They had a lot of characters out and about, and although it was still crowded, it wasn't nearly as long of a wait as it was during the day. Adison spotted Donald at a "dance party" near the carousel and she lit up. She wasn't shy at all and ran right up to him and danced with him for a good while. I think they had to pry him off of her. My pictures are blurry and don't nearly capture how excited she was.
The fireworks were amazing, and the kids were not melting down at all and Cole asked to do some of the faster rides again, and we figured, why not? The second it goes sour, we'll leave. It cleared out a ton after the fireworks, and so taking turns we did fast ride after fast ride with Cole, and Adison rode the carousel, Dumbo, and a few other things. Before we knew it, it was midnight. MIDNIGHT! We were shocked. We headed home and I can say without a doubt, that this was my absolute favorite part of the trip. Everyone at the theme park, adults and kids alike were costumed up in some of the neatest costume's I've ever seen. The atmosphere was so fun, and as a family we had a wonderful time! I can't wait to do it again.
