We arrived at Disney on Halloween afternoon. We stayed at the All Star Movies resort this time. We were put in the Fantasia section of the hotel so our room was right behind a giant wooden toy soldier. The pool had Mickey directing shooting fountains of water into the pool just like he did in the movie. We had connecting rooms with Grammy and Poppy so the kids had fun running back and forth!
All Star is spelled out in these giant letters in front of the hotel and the girls just HAD to sit in the letters.We arrived at Magic Kingdom the next day and it was all decked out for Halloween. It was really pretty with all the pumpkins and orange decorations all around.
Right away the girls and Poppy found this statue of Goofy and had to get their picture taken with it.
And then, there was Pinocchio!!!
Having fun and the day's just begun!
First sight of Cinderella's castle! Maya is holding up 3 fingers saying she's gonna be 3!
These little statues were all over the park, each having a Halloween theme to them. They were really cute.
First up...It's A Small World!
The carousel was also a favorite.
In Future Land we rode these race cars around a track. Maya had a blast when Grammy let her steer the car!
Poppy and Maggie. The first time we did this, Maggie "drove". After that she didn't want to drive because she said she was a crazy driver. : )
In Toon Town we toured Minnie's house. Here are the girls having tea at Minnie's table.
Also in Toon Town, there was an area where you could meet the princesses. The line for this is usually 45 minutes to an hour long, but we hit it just right and only waited 5 or 10 minutes. This was great because they got to see Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella and Belle one after another. The went into a quiet room with a couple other people and the princesses really took their time talking with the girls and taking pictures. No one was rushing us through or telling us to hurry up. I think Belle talked with them for 3 or 4 minutes. They were thrilled!
I don't know why this picture got turned...it is actually one of my favorites. The girls were sitting watching one of the parades go by. Maya was so cute, waving at everything that went by. She did catch the eye of several of the characters and princesses and even got a kiss blown at her by Cinderella at one point! Maggie was much more reserved and wanted to stay out of the spotlight. : )
There goes Mickey Mouse!
Belle and Beast.
Next we were off to Frontier Land and Pirates of the Carribean (sp). As you can see, Maya wasn't exactly thrilled with the ride and held onto Daddy for dear life.
At the end of the day, they got the balloons they'd been talking about since we came to Disney 2 years ago. Boy do they gouge you for balloons there. I think these 2 came to $14. Luckily I am resourceful and figured out if I use a straw, I can deflate them and pack them home. The party store will blow them back for like a dollar! Now that's a bargain!Lots more to come....
