Disney 2014 Day 1: Halloween Party

We were able to plan a trip to Disney to celebrate Brooke's 5th birthday.  We decided to leave Athens around 3pm on Monday so we'd be ready for our first park day on Tuesday.  We had tickets for Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween party and would be able to enter Magic Kingdom at 4pm.

We got up early and ate breakfast at our hotel and then did a little shopping.  We still had a lot of time to kill so we went to Downtown Disney to explore and eat lunch.



I really wanted to eat at Earl of Sandwhich, but it was on the other side of Downtown Disney.  We ended up eating at the bowling alley.  They had really good burgers and the girls enjoyed watching people bowl.  By the time we finished lunch, it was time to check in to our room at Art of Animation.    





We had a suite at Art of Animation.  It was so nice to have the extra space.  We had two bathrooms and a separate bedroom.




Plenty of room for everyone.  The sofa had a bed and you could pull the Murphy bed down onto the table.  The girls took turns sleeping in each bed.

We got ready for the Halloween party and headed to the bus stop around 3:30.  The little girls dressed up as Anna from Frozen and Doc McStuffins.







We only had to wait a few minutes for the bus. It was crowded, but the girls loved it and were well behaved.

Our very first ride was the Jungle Cruise. About half way through the ride AG started acting scared and said she wanted to go home.  She did this on several other rides during the trip especially any loud or dark rides.  I'd usually just hold her and she'd be fine until the end of the ride/show.

Other attractions that night included: Haunted Mansion, Aladdin carpet ride, tea cups, it's a small world, people mover, carousel, Little Mermaid ride and meet and greet, Winnie the Pooh ride, and Cinderella and Rapunzel meet and greet.

In addition to the rides, we also watched the Halloween parade and fireworks.  Brooke also had a blast at the Villian's Dance Party.






We finally headed back to the bus around 11pm and the little girls fell asleep in the stroller.
