Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party II

There was so much fun stuff to do at the Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Another very cool thing that you can only see while at the party is the Mickey’s Boo to You Halloween Parade. From the cute characters like Pooh in Piglet, Mickey and Minnie in their costumes to the totally creepy Haunted Mansion ghosts and grave diggers the parade was something very unique and not to be missed. My favorite parade moments were the grave diggers from the Haunted Mansion. They performed a dance in which they would drag their shovels along the ground to create sparks. Not only was they dance really great but just look at how creepy they are!

And speaking of dancing the Villains Mix and Mingle show was really neat. Those villains can dance. And the best part of it all was at the end of the show they come down into the crowd to mingle. Here is one of my favorite shots from the show…

But the best part of the evening were those who braved the cold and wore their costumes. Here are some of my favorite costumes of the night…

It was a lot of fun and I am positive that Norwood and I will go to another Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and of course now we have to check out the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Tuesday night Norwood and I went to our very first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party in the Magic Kingdom. We really did not expect. We had been told by friends that they fireworks and the parade were very cool and of course you could walk around the Magic Kingdom and trick or treat. So we went thinking it would be good but… we had no idea how fantastic the party events could be! My favorite thing of the whole evening were the fireworks! Happy HalloWishes is by far the best fireworks show I have ever seen. Ghosts and Ghouls come out and the Villains take over. The ski lights up like never before. Take a look at just some of the shots that I took of Happy HalloWishes…

Jackie you were so right the fireworks were AMAZING! When they tell you that you can see them from all over the park, they really mean it. The scream along at the end was so cool.

Another thing that was fun that I have not done in many, many years was trick or treat. Norwood and I had planned to go to Mickey’ Not So Scary Halloween Party in costume as Giselle and Prince Edward from Enchanted. When the night arrived it was just too darn cold to wear them, so we went in regular dress. Here are some shots from Alice and the Mad Hatter’s Treat Trail…

We ate so much candy last night I think we are good on sugar for the rest of the year! There was so much more that we experienced at our very first Mickey’s No So Scary Halloween Party that I will have to tell you more tomorrow.

In the meantime if you would like to see more of the fantastic Happy HalloWishes Fireworks show check out my flickr Happy HalloWishes Set or Happy HalloWishes Slideshow. And also check out my Alice and the Mad Hatter’s Treat Trail photos. And of course if you want more Disney Halloween photos I have an ever growing Disney Halloween Slideshow.
