Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Sunday night we went to Magic Kindgom for Mickeys Not So Scary Halloween Party. It was 7-midnight, we weren't quite sure how William would do. He did great! In the beginning it wasn't to busy-as the night went on it got busier. We were able to do some rides and not wait very long at all. Fantasy Land where William could ride more rides was packed (it always is!!) so we didn't do much there. We (esp. William) is not good at waiting in lines! We were able to go around the park and trick or treat-William liked all the candy! Unfort. We were on the wrong side of the park for the fireworks. We were on the other side of castle in Fantasy Land and were split right in the middle of the fireworks on both sides. It made for very difficult viewing. William also wasn't to fond of all the loud noises.

Pool Fun

The resort had 7 different pools we could try. The 1st time we used the pool right by our room. The 2nd time we decided to walk a little and check out the pool that had fountains. A co-worker had told me it was really nice. It was! Really toddler friendly. William got more and more independent and VERY brave as we were there for a little while! Lorna got William a noodle and he just thought it was GREAT! He had so much fun with that thing. He loved using it as a sword/weapon! Hopefully we'll get a video up soon of him.

















2nd time at the pool!

Seaworld

My mom had a week in Orlando from her timeshare and was unable to use it. So we took her up on it and went away for the weekend. Seaworld had Halloween Spooktacular going on-so we joined in. William was not too impressed with all the characters! He didn't mind receiving all the loot though :) One year we may find a "Florida" Halloween Costume. They are all HOT.

In the hotel-were many mirrors. William LOVED them! He would eat and talk to himself/mirror many many times! It was very cute.






















A couple great shots of the shamu show...we have many many more!




Some pics from the Carousel. Believe it or not we never rode it. Long story!





The Manta Ride-1st time..Lorna and I are in the second row-waving. It was NOT my cup of tea at all! I didn't like the "hanging" feeling one bit. Won't be a repeat that is for sure.




In the aquarium at the Manta Ride. We were "inside" a aquarium-William did not love this once inside!






Feeding the fish....they would come right to the side of the walkway as soon as they saw people! They were "trained" well




At the South Pole


We're off to Magic Kingdom when WIlliam gets up. Going to go to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party :) More pics to come.
