Mickey's Trick or Treat Party

We walked into the party, and they had decorated the park even more.  Most of the kids and even lots of adults were in costume. We were given a bag each for the kids to keep their loot in, and decided to head toward the back of the park and work our way forward.

We bumped into some cheeky chipmunks along the way, so of course we stopped to say hi.

Kenzie with Dale

And Chip

The party didn't start until 7:30, so of course Kingston was asleep before we arrived.  Chip saw him sleeping.

Here's Chip checking out Hunter's muscles, all the characters were very impressed, especially when he showed them how fast he can run.

Kenzie started dancing with the pirates, she was having a blast and was definitely happy being the centre of attention.

Kenzie had a treasure map, and they found the treasure

We continued along our travels, and ran into Wendy and Captain Hook from Peter Pan

As we walked further back into the park, Craig ran off to ride the Screamin' rollercoaster, and I waited with the kids to meet Ariel and Mulan.  He loved the ride and was insisting I go try it, but I was quite happy not to.

They rode King Triton's Carousel, which has sea creatures instead of horses.

Along the way we visited the Trick or Treat stations and the kids were filling their bags, with all kinds of candy, but also healthy treats like baby carrots and raisins and apple slices.

We saw the meet and greet for Mickey and Minnie, the line was quite long but we decided to wait.  Cruella De Ville came along looking for puppies, she rounded up some of kids to be in her gang.  She was fantastic, Hunter had fun with her, of course he wanted to join her gang.  Kenzie did not!

I tried to take some night shots while we were in the line, the park is really pretty all lit up.

That's screamin' in the picture below

I think we ended up waiting about 45 minutes, which included a break of about 10 minutes, where they left to get some "cheesecake".  By now Kingston was awake, and once he saw Mickey he was so excited I had to hold him back.  Hunter plonked himself down in the stroller and was actually asleep for a few minutes.

Finally it was our turn to meet Mickey and Minnie.

I managed to get a couple of pictures when......

disaster struck.....

My camera battery died.

I was so bummed, I had intended to charge it once we got to the hotel and I had forgotten.

So there will be no more pictures from the rest of the night.

:(

We left Mickey and Minnie, and we thought we'd go over to the redwood creek area.  Our timing was perfect, we were able to watch the fireworks  that were on at Disneyland from where we were standing.  The kids got lots more candy, we decided to put their bags away since we couldn't bring too much home with us.

Craig had wanted to ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, so we went over to the Backlot and while he went to ride, the kids and I waited to meet Belle and Pocahontas.  Just as we were nearing the front of the line, they announced that Cinderella and Snow White would be taking over soon, Kenzie had been dying to meet Snow White, so we got back in line so we could meet her too.

Craig came back as we were waiting so he took the boys and we joined them once we'd met Snow White.  Kenzie asked her what her prince was called? She said he likes her to call him Prince!

We went over to the boys and there was a dance party going on.  Mr and Mrs Incredible were there dancing with all the kids, they took Kenzie and Hunter by the hands and danced with them, it was adorable, and of course I had no camera!  Craig took a couple on his iphone but it was a bit dark.

It was really neat just to stand and watch them, they must've danced there for almost an hour before we decided it was getting late and it was time to go.  It was after 11:00 and the party would be ending at 11:30 anyway.

It was close to midnight before we got the kids back to the hotel and into bed.

It had been a great night!

Here's a picture of their candy haul.
