Mickey's Halloween Party

Once again we were invited to visit Disneyland for the first night of Mickey's Halloween Party! I was just looking back at our visits from two and one year ago, the kids were so little. This years visit was a little less hectic and more enjoyable. We took the kids out of school early, drove up to LA and checked into the Disneyland Hotel, where Disney reserved a room for us. Our first stop was to relax and enjoy a drink at the tiki bar.

After, we went back to our room to get dressed up in our costumes. This year I decided to dress up too, couldn't convince Jason, maybe next year!

Liesl as Little Blue Ridding Hood, Porter a phantom, me a witch and Jason a Jason.
While Jason and Porter went on the rocket ride Liesl and I went to Space Mountain. It was always one of my favorite rides and I haven't been on it in years. Now that Liesl is tall enough to go I was really excited to take her.
Liesl left the ride crying because it was too scary and fast. Later she said that it was kind of fun and kind of scary. I forgot how fast the ride was and had so much fun, I wish I could have went twice. After Space Mtn. we went over to the Haunted Mansion, Liesl's favorite. We had fast passes so we didn't have to wait in line and went twice since Porter didn't want to go.
On our way to meet up with Jason and Porter, Liesl had a dance party in front of the castle.

We went through one Treat Trail that had 4 or 5 stations and at each one the kids got a handful of candy, so they were happy! We rode the Dumbo ride where Porter was old enough to ride alone, bought some popcorn and headed over to watch the fireworks.


Right after the fireworks we decided to head back to the hotel. I looked over and Liesl had passed out not a min after the fireworks ended.
Porter ran down Main Street, stopped ran back to me and gave me the biggest hug and said "thank you mommy for bringing me here, I had so much fun" I almost melted, he can be so sweet. So a big thank you to Disney for such a fun visit!
