nursemelis374 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I can't believe this was your first time at the Food and Wine Festival! Great report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I envy you. Eating around the world seems much more productive than drinking around the world. Â Both could lead you back to the first aid center near Mexico though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I envy you. Eating around the world seems much more productive than drinking around the world. Â But wouldn't eating a bit more around the world enable you to drink a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCo Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 These Food and Wine festival reports always kill me. And yet I keep coming back for more punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Finally back after a long and tiring holiday season and marathon run! In this update we visit Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! It ended up raining, a ton. It also rained pretty early in the party, and rained for quite a while. The first parade was canceled, and the fireworks were delayed. It was cold and miserable, and a lot of people ended up leaving. A lot of people were upset that many of the events were canceled, but Disney did an absolutely incredible thing. They virtually comped the entire event! Depending on where you went to get it redeemed, you either just got the cash back, or a gift card, or exchange it for another night/event, or a ticket for another day. Really really awesome for them to do this, especially given that it was the weather that was bad. Really just proved to me how incredible Disney is. This update has some really random photos, and I highlight a few attractions just to change things up. Anyway, on to the photos! We'll be taking the FrankenRail to MK for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party! Yep, that's where we're going. We are an interesting group! Cobra Commander doesn't approve of me taking pictures. Here we picked up our treat bags. Tron and Peter Pan. All decorated for Halloween. Candy making pumpkin scarecrows? Main street all decorated. This dog had some awesome pirate Mickey ears! First stop is tomorrowland! The scariest thing in the park! I hope we get the spinning version this time! Poor Disneyland. Haven't done this one in a while! Around 1904, glad I didn't live then. My house kinda looks like this with charging cables everywhere. Most people aren't familiar with this scene because they are usually asleep. He ages like Jeff Johnson! Almost 50 years old and doesn't look a day older than the first show! Most of this future stuff is in the past! I spy a Mickey! Never noticed this one! Or this one. Didn't realize there were that many in this scene. The imagineers kids? Still pretty empty, but looks like it's going to rain! Jack had the scariest costume ever.......A BRONY!!! Definitely an interesting day on the TTA. Zoom! Amy had her creepy contacts in. Everyone runs for cover when the rain comes. But that keeps the line at only 15 minutes! Everyone is still hiding. These morons decide to use the benches as their personal drying devices. I'm sure the next group that sits there will thank them. Wait, people are actually going on Stich's Great Mistake? Oh never mind, they are just hiding from the rain. Hey I see a TPR member in this video game! Cameron is famous at the Space Mountain exit arcade! The machines bow down to their master. A Halloween party isn't complete without a stop at the Haunted Mansion! I want this clock in my house. Grandma's Alzheimer's followed her into the afterlife. Eternally stuck at a table with no food. That is my hell. Still better than "So you think you can dance." I could think of a few fanboys I'd like her to marry. Back at Buzz, Cobra Commander rules the day! Sorry it's such a terrible picture but these people had really cool miniature electrical light parade costumes! After being delayed and almost canceled, it's finally time for the Boo to You Parade! Unfortunately there was no horseman because of the rain. Some classic characters start of the parade. The Mad Hatter is always really good. The most famous mice and ducks! Christopher Robbin and friends join in next. Hey, guys dressed up in animal outfits. I wonder if Shirley noticed. Yep, he did. Captain Hook leads the pirates. Nothing says Pirates like a flag dance team. Jack Sparrow and the Pirates of the Caribbean float. The groundskeeper and his dog. The famous gravediggers! They were still able to get a few sparks even on the wet ground. The Leota headstone leads the Haunted Mansion portion. These characters were really good. The guys head is really unnatural. The ghosts look really similar to the ones on the ride! They reminded me of those late night horror movie hosts. Nothing says Halloween like super flamboyant cowboys! Yay for the Country Bears. The skeleton band. Everyone's favorite characters, the Villains! Maleficent and Dr. Facilier. The evil queen from Snow White. The Whoopi Hyenas. Finally, my favorite part, the candy! That's about the right size for me. Goofy's Kitchen should be its own park. And that's the parade! I can't remember the last time I actually watched one, but this one was worth it! Creepy Big Thunder Mountain. Some crazy insane kid in a straightjacket just appeared out of nowhere. Pirates doesn't need any Halloween decorations. Nothing says Pirates like a pink unicorn! Dead. Dead and still standing. This is where Bush got the idea for water boarding. Wenches are hard to come by these days. Um, I'll pass, because..... ..We want the Red Head! He ate the annoying giggling girl that used to be hiding in the barrel. Of course the cat scene is Amy's favorite part. That's pretty much me. After this much time I'm sure the lock is rusted through. The castle had some cool lighting. Main street also had some different and cool lighting. Mickey head pumpkin lights. The fireworks show was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
