We went to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party while in Florida. Dewdrop was Cinderella, Sugarwings – Tiana, and myself – a fairy godmother. The blue one, Merriweather.
I made the hat, added sparkling tulle and a vintage blue rose.
But, with my black eye and vintagey dress that was a blue/gray, I am afraid I looked more like a Haunted Mansion ghost than a fairy godmother.
The headband wasn’t great on my achey head, so I ditched it.
While not everyone guessed Tiana, the grand fairies were clearly royal.
Even though the hairstyles didn’t last after a wild night of spinning on teacups.
That party is such fun, we went twice. It is a ticketed event from 7pm-midnight, but you can enter the park at 4pm. Crowds are less than regular park days because the tickets are (slightly) limited. Our first night was a little rainy, and seemed much less crowded. Many rides were only five minute waits. But the shows got rained out.
It didn’t rain the entire time, but got a little heavy toward the evening. We had ponchos, and powered through. The weather was warm, not hot, it really wasn’t bad to be rained on. I think it was more pleasant than the days I have been there when it was 100 degrees or higher.
It certainly wasn’t too chilly for Dole Whips!
We also had Jack Skellington pops. And there were generous trick or treat stations where they gave out handfuls of candy bars.
My luggage was much heavier after packing all of that loot.
Since the Villains Spectacular was rained out on our first day, we watched it twice on our second trip.
Sugarwings and I ended the night at the Monsters Inc Ball, dancing til midnight, while the others rode Space Mountain.
As the two of us left for the bus ride back, she was pensive and snuggly. I had told her that with her grandfather retiring, this might be our last trip. She thanked me for taking her and said that she didn’t know what her future career would be, but she would be sure to make enough money to take her grandkids to Disney.
How sweet!
