Disneyland Park decked out for Halloween<\/em><\/p>\n

You\u2019d think, after going on Disney trips since 1976, I\u2019d have seen it all and done it all. But you\u2019d be dead wrong. The world of Disney travel has exploded since Walt first built his sweet little park<\/a> in 1955. And there are plenty of items I need to cross off my Disney bucket list.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a tradition in my family to go to Disneyland for each of my daughter\u2019s birthdays. I don\u2019t pull her from school (yes, I\u2019m one of THOSE Moms) so if her birthday fell on a weekday, I\u2019d generally take her to Disneyland on the Saturday closest to her birthday. Since she was born in September, this meant that most of the time it was 1) crowded and 2) blistering hot.<\/p>\n

This year, her birthday falls on a Friday, and I had the thought \u2013 what if we changed things up a bit? I don\u2019t mean skipping Disneyland \u2013 heaven forbid. But what if, instead of spending a lot of money to go to Disneyland the day after her birthday, dealing with Saturday crowds and oven cleaning cycle heat, we bought tickets to Mickey\u2019s Halloween Party<\/a> instead?<\/p>\n

Sure enough, when the dates for Mickey\u2019s Halloween Party were announced, there was one being held on my daughter\u2019s actual birthday! This meant that as soon as the afternoon bell rings for her school, we can pop her in the car and drive straight to Disneyland. Admission to the party is less than a regular day\u2019s ticket, and since we can get into the park at 4:00pm and the party doesn\u2019t end until midnight, most of that time, the sun won\u2019t be beating down on us.<\/p>\n

Since I\u2019ve never been to the party I\u2019m not exactly sure what to expect. But since I\u2019m a Southern Californian, I know lots of people who have gone, and I\u2019ve been listening to their descriptions with glee. Here are the things I\u2019m looking forward to the most:<\/p>\n

COSTUMES!<\/p>\n

There are restrictions to what sort of costumes both adults and kids can wear, so mine is going to be less of a costume and more of a Disney bounding situation. Or Marvel bounding, if that\u2019s a thing. (And if it\u2019s not, I just made it one. So there.) My husband 3-D printed me this awesome belt buckle, which I will be wearing over an all black ensemble, and I\u2019m planning on dying my hair red for the occasion:<\/p>\n

My daughter has decided to be Tinker Bell, surprising absolutely no one:<\/p>\n

And my costume adverse husband is getting into the act even if I have to drag him kicking and screaming. He\u2019s basically going to wear street clothes with this sticker on his shirt:<\/p>\n

\"hello\"<\/p>\n

the perfect costume for a guy who hates costumes<\/em><\/p>\n

HALLOWEEN SCREAMS:<\/p>\n

I am wondering how late we\u2019ll all be able to stay up, but I\u2019m really hoping that we can make it for the Halloween fireworks, exclusive to the party. It\u2019s been quite a while since we\u2019ve been at any Disney park at night, so we\u2019re ready for some fireworks.<\/p>\n

THE FRIGHTFULLY FUN PARADE:<\/p>\n

High on our list of things to do is stuff you cannot do at any other time. This parade is new and exclusive to the party, so I don\u2019t want to miss it.<\/p>\n

TRICK OR TREAT STATIONS:<\/p>\n

Fill it up!<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the things my friends rave about is the high quality treats that are given out at the party. My daughter is going to try to gorge herself on these. I will try my best to resist.<\/p>\n

HAUNTED MANSION HOLIDAY:<\/p>\n

The Haunted Mansion Holiday!<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, of course this is open during Halloween time at Disneyland, whether or not you\u2019re at the party. But it\u2019s so much fun to see the holiday overlay each year. I can\u2019t wait to find out what the gingerbread house will look like this year!<\/p>\n
