Photo TR: Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

RCTfan · October 4, 2006

On Monday, the 2nd, I got to attend my first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. Being on the College Program, we can get some pretty sexy discount on tickets on select nights, so I had to definitely take advantage. Since we work at Disney and can ride the rides anytime, we were more interested in meeting some rare characters, the parade, and shows. Of course, we stocked up on CANDY!

Our gang went for my friend’s 19th birthday! Our costume plan: The Peanuts. We had Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Sally, Schroeder, and Snoopy.

We got into the park a tad later than planned. We slopped around for a bit in Town Square and secured a spot for the Boo to You Parade, right at the end of parade route.

I got the chance to see the parade for Cast Previews, which was fantastic. I LOVE the parade music, it’s so great. Our whole group was singing and dancing. We had some friends on the Treat Squad at the end, so they loaded us up on candy, to start off our evening.

We ventured to find a pumpkin patch so we could trash our “Welcome Great Pumpkin” sign, but couldn’t find one. We trick-or-treated a bit and wanted to score a picture with Tarzan. We got a picture with Baloo. We then got in line for Jane and Terk but decided to ditch it. We didn’t want to miss Hallowishes! Lucy stole my blanket quite a few times, so I had to chase her around, screaming at her that I was going to tell Mother. It was grand. Sally kept calling me her sweet babboo, but I am NOT her sweet babboo! Ugh.

Hallowishes was great. I’m not a huge fan of Disney Mania remixes of Disney songs, but the show was well put together. They were pretty amazing, especially when I see Wishes all the time! Spoiled I guess. The ended was fantastic.

Afterwards, we headed back to Toontown to meet some of the Disney Princess and their Princes. Luckily, I had a friend working as an attendant, so she got us through the back. We got separate “couple” pictures with Cinderella and Prince Charming. In one with Snoopy and Schroeder, Prince Charming held a “uhh…woof?” thought bubble. It was quite funny. We then did a group photo with Prince Phillip and Aurora. It was quite cute. The last tent, where another Princess usually stands was empty, so we took it over. We got group photos with our thought bubbles. It was grand.

After we left that, we wanted to see the parade yet again, so we ran for Liberty Square to watch. It was just as fantastic as the first, and we got a buttload of candy yet again.

After parade, we wanted to see if Abu was out with Aladdin and Jasmine. He was, but unfortunately, he was about to go in and not return, so we didn’t bother trying to wait in line. I did get a picture in front of a giant inflatable Timon and Pumbaa. Pumbaa has always been one of my favorite characters. I love him!

Next up, Villain’s Mix-n-Mingle was about to begin at the Castle Stage. The show was enjoyable, nothing AMAZING though. I was there to get some pictures with some of them after the show. I scored a picture with the sexy Maleficent and Frollo (Hunchback).

We wanted to run back to Toontown to get a picture with Mickey Mouse before we left, plus get some more candy. We were the last ones in line for Mickey, so we got some hot photos. We ran into the Queen of Hearts and Mad Hatter just lounging around outside, so we had some fun with them as well. We followed some final treat trails to load up on candy, which we all left with full bags! Go us!

Before leaving the park, we took some Photopass pictures. Finally, we did a classic Peanuts Dance Break at the front of the park. It was grand. Some girl wanted a group photo of us, so we happily posed.

Overall, I had an absolute BLAST at Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party! I should be going again next Thursday with a friend and maybe at the end of the month. There is still so much more to do. I want a picture with Abu, Tarzan, and Jane for sure! And just some general Halloween party pictures, without characters. Ha.

Thanks for Reading!
