The Official 2007 October Role Call

I know it is a little early this year but I had some extra time this morning so I thought I would go ahead and start it, THE OFFICIAL 2007 OCTOBER ROLE CALL. OK guys, let's hear it. What is the date of your trip? Who will be in your traveling party? Where are you staying? Are you going to the MNSSHP and if so, which night? Are you and the kids dressing up for the party? Feel free to share any details of your upcoming trip or any details from past October trips to share with everyone else!!!

To start us off, we are going Oct 6-14. And for the second time, we are staying off-site. Last year we rented a house for the week with another family and it was really nice. This year we are going with a different family and decided to split the cost of a rental house again with them. Our "Disney traveling party" actually consist of 3 families and a total of 14 people. We will all be going to the MNSSHP on the 11th. A little too early for the kids to pick out costumes but when they do, I will let you know.

I will start a list of the Halloween party attenders. It's fun to meet others from the forums. It was my honor to meet IMAMOUSE last year. She is such a sweet person and it was great to put a face with a name. And if any body has any pictures from past October trips and MNSSHParties, I think it would be fun to post them here!

Anyway, I know October is my favorite time to go, let's here from everyone else. :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:

I'm glad you had a good time at MNSSHP and I can't wait to see the pic of you and your buddies as the hitch-hiking ghosts. I've never seen anyone in that costume before - how original. How about the wives? Did they dress up? Did I miss [somewhere in this thead] descriptions of the kids costumes?

Enjoy your last day. I wish everyone safe travel home :wave:.


WHEW?!?! 10 and 1/2 hour drive and we are back at home. I hate that we had to leave WDW but also good to be back at home. When I have to go back to work next week, that's when I'll be depressed.

Overall, fantastic trip!! I'll try to get together some highlights but I'm too pooped right now. I'm downloading my pics as I type and hope to put some up here pretty soon.

Imamouse, I forgot to mention that my 17 year old daughter went as Constance the HM bride (irony is that my wife's name is Constance, and YES, I hid the hatchets!!!!). My 11 yo son went as the grave yard keeper, (he didn't stay in character very long though, a heavy coat and scarf are not too good for FL weather.) The wives didn't dress up this year. They said that next year would be their year. Oh yeah, 4 yo daughter was Snow White.

I've got some funny stories to tell you all, but I'm going to try to download these pics first.

brb,
Tim

Anyway, had a blast at the MNSSHP on the 11th. Me and my friends ended up attracking quite a bit of attention with our costumes. After riding the buses in and walking down Mainstreet, we had our pictures taken by the Photopass guys. We then proceeded toward the Haunted Mansion (for obvious reasons :lol:). We were walking that way when a bunch of people stopped us so they could take their pics with us. We were quickly approached by one of the upper cast members and told us that they loved our costumes but we could not take pictures with other guest and we could not sign autographs. We said OK but it sure was hard turning down people who were asking to take our pics with them (esp the little kids). But many people took our pictures as we were walking around. The best thing was the compliments that we got from the cast members. They all said our costumes were awesome and that they loved them. That made all the hard work worth it!!!

Well, here's a couple of pics from that night. My friends probably got some better pics, so I'll have to get a copy of there's and then I'll post some more.

I'll probably start an MNSSHP thread in the morning b/c I can't keep my eyes open right now.....:snore:

BTW.....I'm Gus!!!! Did anyone see us that night???

The time has come. My vacation has started, according to the official clock on the wall. It's just a little past midnight and I have nothing else to do but drive home, unwind, watch some TV and some Disney videos, sleep as much (or as little) as I can, make sure I'm all the way packed, and get myself off to Detroit Metro for my connection Saturday afternoon.

I can't believe it's here. I'm my turn. And after 14 years and 2 months, I'll finally be back in Central Florida for a visit.

It's my first vacation since February 1999 and my first-ever solo trip to Disney and Universal.

Catch you later in a week. No internet, no work, just relaxation and play time. And if you are down at WDW Oct. 20-26, I'll be at the ESPN Cafe Saturday night for the Indians game and at the Advenuturer's Club or the Shades of Green.

Peace --

we're back :cry: :cry:
But not by choice.

Ah, I'm going through my well over 2500 pictures right now; it looks like it will turn out to be around the 3000 mark :hammer:

I will check out the mnsshp thread too sooner or later, and throw up a trip report sometime.

Here's a quick group picture (minus one) of our shirts. We wore them everyday (don't worry, washed em at night).
My sister kept a running tally of how many comments we received on them during the week.

Ok I've got my trip report started...check it out over here
