Congrats to Declan!!!
Thank you!
We did POFQ in 2012..love it..
So we are back in the room.. we totally chilled.. the kids colored and Eric booked the bounceback..WHOOT WHOOT!!
Then it was costume time!! and off to the bus stop!
We got to MK ( along with half of the rest of the world..goodness me it was packed!!)
Since it was relatively early we opted to go do some rides...We hadnt done the Laugh Floor so that was first then of course Buzz.. the line for Pictures was stupid long so we skipped it..wish they would come up with a faster way to add them to PP+!!
Taejan had decided he was going to try Space Mountain...
he LOVED it!!
Then it was people mover time.. we love this ride..
Declan has already ditched the cape..lol
Taejan danced a little at this dance party
And then it was time for Trick or Treating... last year we stuck to the Adventureland/Frontierland area.. this year we started in Tomorrowland
This was about when "Oh it's the SuperFamily" really became a thing..must have heard it 100 times in the course of the evening..whoot whoot!
The weather was gorgeous. I was so nervous about pre-buying tickets..but we had a gorgeous night. I so needed a redo as last years party was overall a disappointment... I had a better game plan this year and was determined to do a ton!
Taejan wanted to ride Barnstormer ( surprise surprise).. then we ToTed some more..
It was now dark and I wanted our HM pictures... we missed this last year ( heck we missed EVERYTHING last year!)... now I wont say how it took 2 weeks for Photo Pass to FIND these pictures and I wont say how I nearly cried that they werent on our PP when I logged in.. nope..
We headed over that way but of course there was a CM with Bubbles..and you know how my kids love bubbles!!
Up next..the pictures!

So we managed to get the Haunted Mansion special pictures...and PhotoPass managed to find them after losing them..whoot whoot!
Which we then rode.. something special about riding this at night, during the Halloween Party!
It was time for the 1st parade..we decided to go with advice and watch the 2nd parade..so we went off to ride Splash Mountain..at night..with the parade going.. that was awesome! The view right before the drop was amazing...
See that nice women behind me? She was a true southern belle and was very worried about getting wet..so being the nice Yankee I am I told her I would block the water for her... arent I awesome? Seriously she was a HOOT because every small drop, splash etc she was "oh Lord no oh lord help me"
After Splash we headed for the hub to grab a spot for the fireworks... I managed to get us front and center by the statue.. was perfect!!!
Then we simply moved up for the Villains party. Declan was very disappointed that we didn't see this last year...
Up Next..Villains party

I had absolutely NO clue what I was doing..but I moved the 5 of us up to the line in front of the castle stage and sat down. We got chatting with another family. A nice CM came and had us form lines..we were in the front for the Evil Queen..whoot whoot... I didnt care who we met..but it was nice to be in the front..lol
This show was AWESOME.. if you have never done it..go..now..well in Sept or October and see this..from the front is best!!
Ziah would NOT go anywhere near the Queen
After the mingle we went to Frontierland to get a spot for the parade.. apparently everyone else decided to wait for the 2nd parade too.. man it was PACKED.. we lucked out and had a nice family with sleeping kids in a double jogger let the kids sit in front of the jogger! Its so nice when people are nice.. Eric and I stood in the back so as not to block anyone.
We love this Parade.. best one Disney does! ( and the fireworks..they are the bomb and we had such a better view this year)
Up next..do we get to meet those 7 short men?

It was now nearly Midnight.. we wandered..the kids did human ring toss ..some more ToTing.. then we made a bee line to the Dwarves.. I was praying the line would be less than an hour long...and it was ..by about 50 minutes..whoot whoot!!!
Somehow we had managed to do everything we wanted plus tonight..to say I was happy was an understatement. The kids were also amazingly awesome for being midnight!!
We hopped on the carousel
We headed out.. got one last SuperFamily Picture..
We stopped by the Firestation so we could get the SOTMK cards.. whoot whoot..the line when the party started was stupid long..after midnight..imagine that no one in it..LMAO...
And with that the SuperFamily said farewell to MNSSHP..and went and waited in a SUPER long line back to the resort..were we all collapsed in pure candy fed bliss!

Your pictures are great and your kids are adorable!! It looks like you guys were having a great time. It must be so weird yet fun to be walking through the parks and have people recognize you from this forum.
We were there in August this year, and so we missed the Halloween Party, but we did it 2 years ago. It's a total blast! And your picture with the 7 Dwarfs was a real coup -- We tried so hard for that picture but no matter how many times we checked out the line, it was over an hour....

it was our way to NOT have costumes but still have em...lol

She's pretty good isnt she? and me too.. I dont forsee that changing anytime soon.. Disney is my Declan's happy place
September 18 2013..
Jadziah woke up with VERY chlorine irritated eyes. I got up and headed down to the gift shop hoping they had visine...they did! I had lost my earrings so I bought myself some of those while I was there. I'm not a "made up" kinda girl but I must have earrings in!!
Went back to the room and got the drops in the girls eyes.. and made sure to bring them with us! We hopped on a bus to AK..I can't believe we've been here nearly a week and are just now getting to AK!!
In pretty quickly.. we always feel badly for the CM's people blow by at the entrance so we stopped to learn about some cockroaches...
off to the Safari... stopping more than once on the way..
Taejan found the perfect "Turtle Man hat"
We stopped first for something to eat because we were all getting rather grumpy.
We hopped in the line for the Safari..and amazingly as we got to the left/right split I ran into a friend from home..we both knew we would be here at the same time but I did not think we'd run into each other!!
Now it was Safari time... we had a pretty low key guide..
The Lions were awesome..but I had the crappy point n shoot...grrrr
We got done on the safari and surprise surprise it was raining.... Ziah's eyes were really bothering her so she had taken my sunglasses... so I was glad for the break from the sun!
