In which we attend Mickys Not So Scary Halloween Party

We had acquired tickets for the above which is all the rage over here. The event runs from 7pm to midnight and consists of queuing for treats, queuing for rides, and our particular favourite, queuing for photos. Vicky actually went for an early morning run, and reported it was hot. We then went for a swim in our own pool before heading for The Polynesian, another Deluxe hotel, for a meal and a nosy. Then off to Magic Kingdom.

Lovely posh lunch, we couldn’t really manage the pud

I thought the photo was later!

The Haul


Notable Events

Vicky tried her rucksack today, and guess what, she breezed through security again. Must’ve been the bag.

After nearly a week of nobody caring/Vicky looking old, she was ID’d twice.

There were a couple more incidents of queue jumping, but I left well enough alone.

We did not get wet at all on the water ride, Tianas (which replaced Splash Mountain, remember the laughing place?) until the very end when the heavens opened and we got drenched with the rain.

Americans take Halloween Very seriously. There were some good costumes. We particularly liked the two people dressed as slinky dog.

It wasn’t as warm today due to some lovely clouds, so I stayed out till 11pm.

We watched The Parade, the Fireworks (We would have had to hide Kathy away somewhere) and the Hocus Pocus show, all were brilliant.

Some of the Americans were getting very snappy.
