Mickey's Halloween Party!!

After we rested for a bit, we got dressed and ready for Mickey's Halloween Party.  We walked back into the park and it was so crowded.  We had to stop and get our wrist band and our Trick-Or-Treating bag and then into the park.
Alex was dressed as Minnie Mouse, Tristan was a vampire, Kaleb was Indiana Jones and Brodie was a bumble bee.

We forgot to bring a costume for Josh and I forgot to bring stuff for the rest of my cave woman costume that I borrowed from Tara.  So I just put mine on over my clothes and we just drew on Josh's face.

We walked in and headed to the different Trick-or-Treating stations.  It was so fun!
The first one we went to was in Pixie Hollow.

Alex, Josh and I were on a mission for the best treats, Reese's and Snickers.

We hit a few stations and then we happened upon a spot for the parade.  

Checking out their candy.

And the bartering begins.  We told the kids that we would all trade candy when we got back to the room later that night.

 The Parade!

Peter Pan & Captain Hook

The Princesses!

Toy Story

The parade was so fun!  Josh said he looked down at me as the Princesses we passing and I had a big grin on my face, I love the Princesses!

We walked around to more of the stations and rode some rides.  We went on Alice In Wonderland and over to Autopia for the kids to drive the cars.  Kaleb was my driver and I couldn't stop laughing!  Those cars are hard to drive anyway but then add in a cute kid who can't quite reach the foot pedal and see over the steering wheel and it's so fun!  I ended up pushing the gas pedal for him as he steered.  We banged into the track the whole way around.  Kaleb kept saying "I suck at this!".  It was comical but a blast, he's so cute!

 We walked over to Tomorrowland on our trek to find candy and saw Captain EO, the Michael Jackson movie.  It was so bad, I was laughing out loud at how ridiculous it is.  But I guess it is over 20 years old and the 3D in that movie was like cutting edge brand new then.
Then we looked at some souvenir shops and went on Peter Pan's Flight before we headed back to the hotel.

 I loved the Mickey pumpkin at the entrance of the park...and so did everyone else.  I wasn't going to pay the $25 or whatever it was or stand in the line to have our picture taken in front of it.

We were so tired.  It was just about midnight by then and we were fighting to keep our eyes open.  We had been in the park on our feet for just about 10 straight hours.  Our feet hurt so bad!  But it was such a fun day and I loved the Halloween party!  If I lived in California near Disneyland, I would take my kids trick or treating there instead of around the neighborhood!

Disneyland Day 2

Friday morning was supposed to be our early morning park entrance day, which means we get to go into the park at 7am before it opens up at 9am.  We had plans of getting up early so we could hit the Matterhorn and some other rides that are so crowded and don't have fast passes.  Jason was going to make sure we were all up.  Well 7am came and went and we didn't get into the park until 10am, we were tired from the day before.  Jaimee said Jason did get up early but decided to go back to bed.
We started our day in Adventureland.

We walked right up to Indiana Jones and there was no line.  Just as we approached the pulled the ropes out saying the ride broke down, great.  So we rode the jungle boat to waste some time.
We saw the elephants playing in the water.

The lion pride eating their latest kill.

And hippos.

We tried Indiana Jones again, still broke down.  We headed over to the Haunted Mansion and luckily there wasn't much of a line.  I loved it!  It was all done up with The Nightmare Before Christmas.

 It was a lot of fun and one of my favorites!
We went to go get some breakfast afterward.  We got some yummy french toast and eggs by Indiana Jones, waiting for it to re-open.  The ride was still shut down so the kids wanted to go ride Thunder Mountain.  The name alone scared me.  Then the kids told me it was one of their favorites and that scared me more.  They assured me it was fun so I gave it a try.  We left Brodie and our purses with Jason and got in line.  It's a train that goes around a mountain really fast and it was awesome!  I loved it!  I wish we could have gone back to ride it again but the line was so long after that.
Then we headed over by Splash Mountain.  Josh, Jason and the kids all got fast passes for Splash Mountain and had to wait a while for their time frame so we went on Winnie The Pooh.  It was so cute!

As we were coming out of the tunnel, a bird pooped on the back of Jason's neck!  Oh my gosh, we laughed so hard!  Jason got pooped on in Pooh!

Josh, Jason, Alex and Kaleb went back to Splash Mountain and I went and walked through the gift shop for a minute.  Then Jaimee, Brodie, Tristan and I went up in front of Splash Mountain to watch them come down.

Kaleb is in front and Josh is behind him "choking" him.  Then Jason and Alex.
We got fast passes for Indiana Jones and walked over to Tomorrowland to check out Space Mountain, that line was always so long.  So everyone who wanted go (not me) got fast passes and we went on Star Tours while we waited for their time.  They finally got to ride it and Brodie slept in the stroller while we waited for them to come out.  They loved it, I hate that roller coaster.  Roller coasters and darkness do not spell fun for me!
We went into Innoventions and played for a while.  We played on the Kinect, aged ourselves and looked at all the other cool things they had in there.

 The Matterhorn

We walked back over to Indiana Jones for our fast pass time, shut down again.  NO Indiana Jones for us.
It's A Small World was closed while we were there, bummer.  I really wanted to go on it!

Then we headed into Toon Town!!  I definitely remember Toon Town from being there as a kid, I thought it was so cool!

The Electric Door.

Tristan & Kaleb got put in jail.

Then we went to find Mickey.  We had heard he was in his house so we went there.  Josh is so excited!:)

 Then we walked through Mickey's movie screening room where Steamboat Willie was playing and waited our turn to go in a meet Mickey!

We met Pluto.

 And Kaleb got behind the wheel of a car.

There were some casualties.

The kids went and played in Goofy's backyard while we rested our feet.  They had so much fun.  Then we headed back to the room to rest and get some dinner before Mickey's Halloween party that night!  We were all so excited for that!
