We went to the Halloween Party the same night as you!October 18, 2018
BOO TO YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU, AND YOU!
Sometime later, we headed back to the MK and though the bypass to get our candy bags and take some pictures.
Mike was still kind of full from his lunch, but I was getting kind of hungry.
I didn't want to waste time later eating during the party so we headed to Pecos Bill and I got the Southwest Chicken Salad.
I also got some extras from the fixins' bar to add to it. This was so good and I definitely had it at least one other day during this trip. And I'm sure I'll get it again in April when we go
The party hadn't officially started yet and the crowds were kind of low. I made Mike wait in line with me for BTMR and when we got up to the ride, he stepped through. Oh well, at least I didn't have to wait by myself.
It definitely was the wildest ride in the wilderness!
After that, we headed back and rode Pirate's again. It was still the regular ride since it was still pre-party.
And there were still no mermaids on the beach
We had another round with grim grinning ghosts...
and then made our way over to Fantasyland so Mike could get a snack.
This was his but I made him give it to me before he could eat it so I could take a picture
At 7 o'clock we headed to Tomorrowland because now that the party was starting I wanted to try out Space Mountain with the lights off.
This already had a REALLY long line by the time I got in it, as in backed up halfway to the People Mover.
I didn't make Mike wait with me this time and he went off to wander around.
I took this picture at 7:23, so I guess the line was about 25 minutes. I also waited and asked to be sat anywhere BUT the back row since I get too shook up back there, so my wait might have been a couple minutes shorter if I hadn't asked for that.
Space Mountain with the lights off was definitely not as good as with the lights on, and I didn't really care for the music they played.
It was just kind of a weird experience to be in the pitch, pitch black.
I found Mike over at the Monster's dance party and we walked over to ride the Tea Cups but again, found a very long line to get on.
We got in line but after watching for a couple minutes to see what we were waiting for, we decided the wait wasn't worth it.
So we hopped out of line and cut through Fantasyland again,
to go see POTC with the party enhancements. Of course, this ALSO had a pretty long line...
and I don't think the actors really added anything to it.
It was kind of disappointing , especially since we had been getting on with very short waits before the party.
The crowds were really starting to get to us. We did do a little trick-or-treating but even those lines were super long. We were walking near the Trading Post and noticed they were setting up for the parade. We spotted a little space on a wall and sat to wait since it seemed like we weren't getting much else done.
We were actually really happy with our seats and our view. I do love this parade, in fact, it may just be my favorite in all of WDW
Afterwards, we walked back to Main Street to watch Hallowishes. We didn't have a great spot for pictures, but we enjoyed the fireworks anyway.
We decided we had had enough and headed out by 11, which was kind of a bummer.
We did get some cute PP pictures, but none of the cute character pictures that other people got since we just didn't want to waste that much time in their lines.
This picture cracks me up because I wasn't sure what the photographer was asking and I couldn't keep a straight face,
let alone look scared
It wasn't a terrible evening, but if we go back next fall, I think we might skip it unless they make it a more exclusive event and sell half the tickets (right…I know that's not happening ). It's too bad because this used to be one of my absolute favorite things, but I no longer think it's worth the money you pay. I'd rather pay for an after hours event where you get free snacks and no lines or crowds.
We were home by midnight and decided to sleep in tomorrow morning, but did we??? That'll be up next!
